Hey a seat upgrade would be nice. When can you do it?

I will try to post some pics of my first 2210 with X-series suspension seat upgrade and boy that was a nice ride for around $500.

No, when can YOU do it? I don't have the time. ha ha. No really, I barely have the time to do regular maintenance and cleaning on the machine with all the fixing up on my property. If I'm not washing or greasing it, I'm using it.

Megota,
My dealer advised me to put in 12 pounds of air on my 2305 when mowing and factory PSI when using loader. Takes the bumps out.

If you can do with less weight, Sears sells a pin type hitch one (For garden tractors - would easily fit in the drawbar holes on the 2210) 500lb+ roller for somewhere over $100 with no shipping. I need to pick up one soon to flatten out some areas. They sell plastic and steel ones.

Hmmm, I have been looking at a roller, and I did not think of goijng to Sears. Well I am now! Thanks.

I occassionally keep thinking about trading my 4100 in on a 2320 or a 2520, but I keep talking myself out of it. After a few tasks this year and next for constructing a patio. I will be relegated to mowing and some tree planting and my 4100 is all paid for, so .......etc.

assuming we are talking new units;
I think we covered this but if your machine is a hydrosatic 4100 there is no advantage going with a 2320. You will lose money actually doing so. gain little if anything

The 2520 there are a few gains but again you will be loosing money doing so, and depending on your needs probably dont need it. keep in mind the 46BH fits on the 4100, and the flow is excellent on the 4100 series already.

Of course just my opinion -with some experience behind it since I owned all 3 models

ducati996, Yep my machine is a Hydro, yes I have been made aware that if I want a 46 backhoe, i can get it for about somewhere in the $5k - $6k range installed. I definitely have though about just getting a 46 backhoe and saving my funds. With my long-term tree planting and sprinkler ambitions, that might be a good idea!
