2210 to 2520?

[RalphVa]

My neighbor has a 4310 and says it needs all its power to run the LX5 uphill. Both the 4210 and 4310 are about the same weight, around 2900 # more than double the weight of a 2210 or 4010 or 4110. My 4010 has no problem running the LX4 uphill.

Always check weights. Same with trucks and automobiles. It takes hp to push weight.

I did ALOT of reading on the tire subject here today.
What you guys are saying is pretty common to what I gathered in my research.
A couple years ago, mowing was what I did - about 90% in the summer.
Now that I am expanding into my woods, cleaning up after logging, I find myself leaning toward the R4's now. That is the main reason for going to a larger machine. When I get on the hillside in the woods with the 2210, I feel a bit uneasy. I feel the larger machine, and the biggest benefit of much larger tires, will be a big help.
I know my present turfs are about useless in the mud for sure.
I finish mow about 2.5 acres, but it is not one of those "manicured" lawns for sure. Even if I do leave some marks when it's wet, that doesn't bother be at all.

Thanks for the input folks!

The AGs on my BX23 work fine.
Adds up to best traction / no turf damage.

As far as I'm concerned Ag Tires and turf damage isn't an issue on smaller tractors such as compacts and sub compacts.

Moving on up to the larger utility and ag tractors it could become one though.

I say it's the weigh more so than tread design that causes turf damage.

Prosperity--did you make the jump? I'm looking to do pretty much the same thing--2210 to 2520. How did you do trading in the 2210 on the 2520? What have you found to be the main benefits of switching? I've gotten into the back 5 acres on my property--more bushogging etc and the 2210 just doesn't have the ground clearance etc that I need. Do you think a 2520 could pull an LX5?
Thanks,
B8fish

B8FISH,

The Deere website lists either the LX-4 or LX-5, so yes. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I never got anywhere with this being my dealer could not even get pricing on a 2520.
So it is on the back burning for me now.
