Well guys I went to the dealer this morning and drove both the BX and the 2210. I just liked the 2210 better, since he just got 3 new ones in, no one needs to have 3 of em around so I took one off his hands.

Got the 2210, loader and 62 mower, broadcast spreader and a box blade. What do you guys recomend a 4 foot or 5 foot frontier box blade. At first he told me a 5 foot would work fine and then he started having second thoughts about it and thought a 4 foot may be better. I told him I would ask the experts on here and see what they are using. So now I'm asking for a bit more help,,,4 foot or 5 foot box blade.

thanks
Phil

Phil,

If I remember correctly there was a pretty extensive discussion on this and most were of the opinion that a 48 or 54 inch would be a good fit for the 2210. The 2210 will lift a 5 footer, but you may be limited as to how useful it is. The 48 inch should cover your tracks and that's what's most important.

hi Bob

I'm near Hudson which is just east of St Paul Mn on the Wis boarder. Thanks for in info on the box blade. I did a little more searching and it does seem most are going with the 48 so I guess I will too. Now I just gotta decide if I should get a landscape rake or try and rent one,,geez all these important decisions.

later

Phil,

I going to look at renting some 3 point stuff as well. I have the box blade and tiller, but I have been leveling some land and think I might need something to do the final prep before the grass is done (sod or hydro seeding is still up in the air).

I used to get through Hudson a lot on my cycle. Either side of the Mississippi on the way down to Winona is a great road for motorcycles.

I found the box blade the most difficult to master (I'm not there yet), but it is a very useful tool.

Good Luck

Bob

Congrats on your purchase /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif! You'll find the 2210 an versatile tractor.

I decided on a 4' Woods BB. I find it easy to control, and the weight is about perfect to counter-balance the loader. Plus, compared to a 5' bb, the 4' saves a foot of precious garage space.
