Oil & Fuel 2305 fuel consumption

[JDFANATIC]

JDFAN, I wonder if the steel valve stems like the stems on the 2320 will fit your 2210 wheels. I bet they would, I don't know for sure. It might be worth a call to your dealer to find out.

Hard,

I did ask that today, but I'm told those are for tubed tires. $91 later, I'm back in business.

Good to hear you are back in business.

I have a 2210 and did have a 335 20HP gas. The 335 used 2X the fuel running a 54" deck versus the 62" on the 2210. I have since traded the 335 for a used 355 (20HP diesel) and the v-twin Yanmar in the 355 is just as stingy on fuel as the 2210.

If and when I buy another garden tractor or CUT, diesel is the only engine type I will consider.

fgross,

Diesels really do rule the roost!

My Kubota 7510 uses about .5 gal. per hour mowing lawns at 1300rpm. Rottotilling uses 1 gal per hr. at 2000 rpm.

Towing my 5' RFM at 29??/540 PTO does use about 1.6 gallons an hour. That's bouncing around a rough sloping pasture at about an acre an hour. Some days I take off the bucket and leave the loader frame to bang around a bit. Other days I take it all off and hang suitcase weights.

Poking around with a box blade, rake, FEL, it barely uses any fuel.
