Good looking mower. One suggestion with the use of IMATCH: you might need to rework the top link on the mower, because it can "jump" out of the quick hitch. It needs to be more ridgid like the "Frontier" mowers Imatch kit.

by rework, do you mean just put a bushing in it? that is what i was planning on doing.

You may need a bushing also, but the top link of the mower swings, right?? Well if you are going along mowing and the mower raises(3ph floating) up higher than it can stay in the Imatch it will lose connection and when it "floats" back down you may not be attached on top anymore. For the "FRONTIER" mowers they sell a "IMATCH KIT" which includes extra arms that go from the top link down to the lower lift pins to make the whole hitch assembly ridgid.

This link is for the Frontier mowers and it talks about the kit in the specs. Ask your Deere dealer for info. I have been searching for a pic but cant find one tonight.

I agree with the other posters, I just traded up to a 3120 with a 72" MMM from a 2210. All I can say is the 3120 is a beast. I can cut my grass 2 x faster in BMW confort! I found the 72" 7 Iron Deck cuts better than the 62" on the 2210 in any condition.
