I am wondering if anyone has found a nice front weight bar for the 2210? I still have the old one from my old 445. I kept it thinking I could easily modify it for use on the new 2210. As I have looked at it, it will not be all that easy. I will use the old one as pattern, but will likely make a new one from scratch.

The nice thing about the 445 bracket is that it accepted 9 suitcase weights and also functioned as a great front bumper. (It kept the wife and kids from messing up the front of the tractor.) Now, I normally did not need all that ballast and neither will the 2210, but it reached out to the center of each front tire and had the last few inches bent back at ~45-degree angle. As you trimmed around trees going lock to lock on the steering, the bumper just cleared the tree, and then the tire would. I also prefer the wear and tear of the suitcase weights being on this removable bracket and not on the front of the tractor frame.

I think the 4010, 4110, and4115 had some similar brackets but they will not attach to the front of the 2210. I've attached the part sketch of the 445 bracket.

Thoughts anyone?

John
