2210 vs 4110

Anonymous Poster · Apr 23, 2003

My 2210 does have a tach on it.

Bob in Mn is correct. The 4010 is "more machine", but the question becomes "Do you need it?" The 2210 is more or less designed to be primarily for mowing with some lighter loader and landscaping work than the 4010. The 4010 is just the opposite. For what I'm doing, the 2210 is plenty big enough for yard. Just my opinion.

Re: 2210 vs 4110 - tachometer

My 2210 has a tachometer. snAKes were you thinking about the lack of another gauge on the 2210 such as oil pressure?

Re: 2210 vs 4110 - tachometer

Sorry if that was incorrect - The dealer told me the 2210 didn't have a tachometer and I thought I looked at it but may have taken his word.

I think there are some other threads on this, but in short the 4010 doesn't have the same graduated rockshaft lever (for 3 point hitch & MMM) with numbers on it that that other TEN series have. It just has up & down, and when you pull it back to the center detent position it stays where it currently is.

The 2210 has a dial to set the height.

I'm unable to give you too many details, because I only received my 4010/MMM/FEL yesterday! I just wanted to bring that up so you could research it before you buy.

Since this is how the mid-mount mower raises and lowers, my concern is that with the 4010 you won't be able to get the blade back to the same height after you move it.

My dealer researched it and on the MMM there are adjustments for the front gage wheel (60" mower) and front & back anti-scalp wheels (54" mower). I guess you just lower it until it floats with these wheels. However the manual suggests that this may not be the best way to achieve the most level cut.

Also you will want the kit that holds the MMM up if you want to use the 3 point hitch for other things and not take the mower deck off. Othewise when you put the 3 point hitch implement down, the mower goes down too. The mower deck does remove quite easily, however. I took mine off yesterday to do some heavy grading.

If anyone else has experience with this, please share.

snAKes,

I cut a piece of wood at the height I like my lawn and use it to set the deck height before I mow.

Regarding the mmm kit--I was under the impression that you could adjust the kit so that the mower lowered to a certain height--esentially using the kit to set the mowing height. My dealer didn't even know the kit existed, so who knows if he was correct about the kit's adjustability. Maybe someone who bought the kit can address this.

I'm looking at the 4110 not 4010. Is the height adjustment issue with the 4110 as well?

Stopped at dealer today - 2210 coming off truck while I was there - he has FEL in stock, but no 62C deck. Will call me with a price in the AM. I was shocked, very nice looking tractor. He also had a 4115 he is getting me a price on. oing to be a big difference though. I was impressed with the 2210. We shall see.......

per the 2210:
The dial does exactly what you said it does, adjust's the hieght of the deck (how far it will drop) You can also lock the deck up by turning the knob to "lock" so you can use the 3ph without the deck moving up and down. There is no other kit to purchase.

4115 with FEL and MMM will probably be in the $16,500 range (that's what I was quoted).

GONO2,

All of the other TEN series (including the 4110) have a nice graduated lever for adjusting the MMM and 3pt hitch height. It has numbers and even a handy adjustable stop so you can raise/lower it to the same height every time. Unfortunately they left that off of the 4010 :-(

I wonder if it could be retro-fitted...
