2210 Photos

Anonymous Poster · Feb 13, 2003

I've had my 2210 for three weeks, put almost 10 hours on the meter, still learning the fine art of loader operation. I thought I would post a few pictures, including some things I've added. This one is an overall view.

I had some grab hooks I got from AW Direct welded to some plates, then bolted them on. There are matching backing plates underneath.

Also, you might notice a dent in the right front corner of the hood /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif. A fairly small chunk of snow fell out of the bucket. The hood may be steel, but it's pretty thin steel. I think a plastic hood would have resisted this. Oh well, it had to happen sometime.

I added this work light bracket to the ROPS. The holes in the ROPS are pre-existing. Also the 2210 has a factory installed worklight harness, with its own fuse, located in the rear of the tractor. The circuit is energized whenever the headlights are on. Each JW Speaker work light includes a built-in on-off switch.

Although I don't have any rear implements yet, it would be easy enough to rotate a light to shine backwards. There is some side glare from the lights while in the driver's seat, so I'm think of attaching a small plastic side baffle to each light, maybe using a plastic wire tie.

Nice Tractor

How does your loader attach to the front of the tractor? It looks different than the connection for my 4010 (not surprised as they are different loaders--just wondering). It almost looks like u-shaped pins that attach to the side at the front.

You don't list your location in your profile, but looks like you've been able to make use of the new machine clearing snow.

Nice! I need to get some extra lights on my 2210. With the loader on, the front lights do no good at night. Where did you get that light bar?

What is the width of your bucket? In the photo it looks wider than a 49 inch wide bucket but that may be an optical illusion.

Bob,

You are right, they are spring loaded U-shaped pins, just bigger versions of the kind JD uses to attach mowers, etc.

I am in NH, so winter is a good time to practice with a loader, and snow is (usually) pretty forgiving of mistakes. I used to use a 2WD garden tractor with a hydraulic front plow for snow removal. Sometimes I do miss the plow, but the ability to move snow banks and the much better traction of the 2210 more than make up for this.

JDGREEN4ME,

This is the first time I've posted pictures. The instructions in the FAQ section were very helpful.

jdeerestl,

I had a local welder make the light bar. It is two pieces of 3.5" L. x 1.5" W. x ¼" thick flat stock welded to a 38.5" L. x 1.5" x 1/8" thick piece of angle stock.

My next project will be a set of bucket hooks, based upon a neat design posted by member PaulT.

mhalla,

That's no illusion, it is a 53" bucket. It was an easy swap since they attach with pins, and the same buckets are used on other JD loaders. The dealer swapped the 49" for a 53" from another machine for $30. For snow removal, I like the 53", a little wider, but still narrow enough to maneuver in the woods. There is a 61" available, really wide, and probably too big a bite for other materials.
