I have just purchased a 2004 JD 2210. This is my first compact. I am 66 and have everything to learn. I had visited this site a few times while trying to find a tractor. You all have steered me to my decision in favor of the 2210, Thank You very much. I am anxious to get started with your input. As I learn hopefully I can help future rookies like myself. Thanks Again, Dan.
