Dealer "New" 2210d

[winston1]

It is in the 195/240 operation manual that pto speed is at 2200 rpm.

Yes I bought a vn tractor from the dealer in mesquite. I just wished I would have known about this website before I bought mine in 2006. It's not too bad of a tractor for the price I paid at the time but their workmanship is horrible

As I look on CL and other sites that have Yanmar YM or FX machines, I tend to pay close attention to the way Fredricks details their machines. This way, anything used that turns up, I can consider.

I put about 3 hours on it today. Observations are as follows:
I drove 40 minutes on tractor to get to ranch from home. I went 4-6 mph varying engine speeds as I went. I mowed for 4+ hours this weekend. I am stunned by how little fuel it used.[maybe 1.5-2 gallons ] My pto guard came off and spun with pto, but fixing it was easy. My left foot kicked the tractor out of 4wd a time or two. I generally ran about 1800rpm with the mower. The grass is tall but sparse and dry. The lightweight 5' LMC 500 Clipper has a big sticker that says "Important Pasture Mowing Only", well all my pastures are important.:laughing: The rotary cutter worked extremely well and my "pastures" are full of wild hog holes, old[140 y.o.!] terracing for cotton and light brush. It handled it all with ease. I noticed that right after I shut the tractor down, the engine was only warm to the touch. Very cool running motor. No surprises, just hard work taken in stride.
Interesting about the 2nd pto gear rpms. I can see where that might be useful if used with care. Thanks for sharing that data. This old 2210d is impressive! Pics soon.

Be sure to clean out the radiator screen so ,that, she stays running cool. I have the LMC medium duty cutter. LMC manufacturing isn't all that far from Fredricks

"My pto guard came off and spun with pto"

I don't know exactly what that means, but would not concern about guard spinning with pto, as long as it will spin independently and stop by hand. Saves wear and tear on plastic bearing surfaces.

My pto guard came off and spun with pto, but fixing it was easy.

Hope that the bolts didn't shake loose or something. You will need to report that to Fredricks. It's a safety item that they take very seriously. It keeps the UTDA certification in check.

Oh wow, we both were mowing pasture lands recently. My mower is the John Deere 261 60-inch finish mover. I got to get the blades sharpened. On the PowerShift, I have the gear on 3rd and the PS in 3rd. When the pasture grass is above the weight bar up front, the PTO runs at selection-1 540 and 2000rpm. IF it's less height under the front axel, then PTO selection-2 and gear on 4 and PS on 1 or 2.

On my pto, there is a chain that keeps the plastic tube pto guard from spinning. The chain broke when a branch fell on it and broke the chain. I rigged up the chain again and all back to normal now. I did notice weed pieces on the radiator and cleaned them off. Another great tip I learned here before purchase. I mow a lot under trees and I had to watch the exhaust pipe at times.
Understand that I used to use a 5ft. 14.5hp Swisher trail mower/4 wheeler. I overheated the 4 wheeler many times and had to replace stator coil, etc. I could only maintain 5 acres of 75 that I have in semi native pasture. I will say that the relatively thin blades on the Swisher were very good at going through thick grass.
This tractor allows me to tackle the place for real now.
The ranch was an old neglected family property that we almost sold till I moved to it 5 years ago. The first 3 years were spent establishing security[anti trespassing, theft, poaching operations], fencing and then cattle/wildlife. Now this tractor really sets me on course to turn it into a showplace. That's the goal anyway.

 

[normde2001]

Take the chain off and let it spin.

 

[paddywagon]

normde2001, I took the chain off tonight and mowed another hour it seems it will still keeps stuff including me out of the links. bmavrick, thanks for the pto speed data. very interesting.

Well, those guys at Fredricks can't be stopped. They found a guy closely associated with them to bring my 2210d to me on Friday. 96 hours after I ordered it they got it to me 700 miles away. Right on time I took delivery and drove it home. Absolutely world class delivery and initial interaction with Fredricks.
The tractor is beautiful. It runs great and the Lowery cutter runs great after I checked all grease and oil was in place.[it was] I struggled to level out 3pth and cutter but got it finally. bmavrick, it has a 2T90 engine. The manual says to run cutters in 1st pto gear only, but I noticed you mentioning using 2nd pto and keep rpms down. Is that an option with this little 2 cylinder? It is super strong by the way.
I run a 250 acre wildlife/cattle operation[75 acres to mow in mosaic patterns, trail cutting and multiple small food plots]I will be trying to take care of this thing while working it to the max. Already have 2 hours on it.

your going to mow 75 acres with a 2210

 

[paddywagon]

Yea, 75 acres, but I have 10-12 plumb thickets, some briar patches for wildlife, pecan and mesquite trees mixed in this pasture and it is really about 40 acres overall to mow. I did 10% this weekend. It is not farmed so no pressure. I mow trails and other strips/plots on an additional 175 acres and I suppose that overall, I will mow 75 acres a year. I am on the edge of dry Texas scrub and East Texas grassland. I can mow fairly fast, but I do anticipate 75+ hours a year mowing. I will likely put 100 hours on the tractor this year. The LMC 500 Clipper will be tested for sure.
I will need to study and adhere to scheduled maintenance on this tractor for sure.

SWEET !

As for the 3pt hitch, if the lower arms have additional side holes you can move the two lift arms to those holes to allow the lower arms to hook up with the implements. I had to do that after taking delivery. Also, when I had visited Fredricks, I picked up an aditional lift arm that can adjust. Thus, for right and left are adjustable. This makes the box blade tilt even more. ( I can make ditches really easy now.)

Glad you got the 2T90. It's a little stronger than the 2T80. It may be the engine piston stroke distance as the pistons are the same diameter. The John Deere 650 2cly uses the 2T80. So parts should be alright to still find down the road.

As for the tiller running with the PTO at a higher rpm, did you ask Fredricks what PTO speeds your machine is capable of. Bobby or your sales person can forward that into to you. My YM2610 has 4 PTO speeds. If yours only has 3 PTO speeds, chances are the second one may be a bit too fast.

Yes, you will love that tractor very much since it behaves just like NEW.

Can you elaborate . Pics maybe? thx

The part would look like this to a certain extent, but TSC's part will not work for the Yanmars nor the New Holland/Ford either. Thus, Fredricks has the right one(s).

CountyLine® Lift Arm Leveling Assembly - Tractor Supply Co.

Once you have both sides with the 3-point leveling lift arms, take one to lower all the way and the other to highest setting. Now, the box-blade or the blade is tilted at an extreme to make a ditch side. Reverse to make the other side.

If the ground is dry and harden, I cheat first by taking my rototiller down the ditch path with a few passes. This allows the tractor blade enough reach to start the ditch making.

The process is rather simple making a ditch. The big question when you are done, where to put the dirt. lol
