Buying Advice 47" snowblower for 2210

[Double J]

Thinking about pulling the trigger on this unit. Do I need the front quick hitch its pretty expensive, I have no other implements to work with it. How much of a pain is the snowblower to remove with out the quick hitch? How about the 2000 RPM kit worth the money?

Thanks for the input...........

I don't have a JD 2210, but own a front mount blower and had one on a smaller tractor too.

With small tractors and front mount blowers you are practically limited to mid-PTO drive. This means a quick hitch that also houses part of the PTO drive line. You normally can't use a front loader mount as the FEL has too much range of motion and the PTO, by it's nature, can't have that much range of motion.

So, as convenient and nice to operate as front mount blowers are, many avoid them due to the significant additional cost. Is it worth it? I think so, show is nice to be in a heated cab having a morning cup of coffee without either having to twist around and drive backwards or get snow blowing back in your face.



with no snow

The snowblower will NOT mount without the QH, that's what holds the PTO shaft that drives the blower.

I have decided to go with the 54" so I called on pricing today.

Mutton: $3909 JD list price free shipping

Tri County $3878.60 OTD

Bader: $3500 OTD

My choice is obvious...........should have it in a week to 10 days.

Thanks for the input fellas.
