Some 2210 observations.

[JDdude]

today I put my 5 ft rear blade on the 2210. (I used to use the blade on a Yanmar 155D 4 wheel drive)..I must say I do not think I had realized how much tractor I have purchased..This thing has some serious power and traction in 4 wheel drive in the dirt..I am very impressed. These tractors have come along ways...

The front blade arrived today..Quick hitch attachment front Looks like it is going to be another blessing..Ease of attaching items to this tractor is second to none..

Well I almost have 10 hours on it now and plan on going to the dealer and pick up some filters and fluids tomarrow..

Had loader on the 155D. My guess is this unit will amaze me again when the loader for it arrives..

For anything less than all out farm or construction work I think this unit it going to be more than I had ever expected..

Have a great evening all..

Glad to hear the good news. I have one on order. I hope it gets here soon. What tires did you get?

 

[JDdude]

I have both...Turfs and R-1`s..I am running the turfs right now. The r-1 tires were kind of rough on the grass IMO..Mainly because this tractor wil turn so sharp..In the dry this unit has plenty of tire with the turfs..

I noticed something today that other owners might want to address on thier 2210`s..If you remove the right engine side panel. You will see the hose that runs from the radiator to the easy coolant drain to the side of the machine (why couldn`t they have made the oil drain convenient? The bone heads.)anyways, The hose rubs on a metal plate that looks like it will eventually cut the hose and loose coolant in time..I but some 3/8 fuel line,split it and used it as a insulator..I would advise giving it a look at..

JDDude,

I agree with your comments on the 2210 power! Several weeks ago I was digging out in front of the house for a side walk. We have very hard and dense clay in northern Indiana and I started out using the 450 tiller to loosen it up and then remove the loose material with the 210 loader. After a while, I tried just digging with the loader and I was shocked at how well it did! As long as you keep good load on the front tires, it was digging up 6 to 8 inches of fresh clay, no problem.

I think you'll really enjoy the loader. Let me know if your hydraulics are tight or loose. I've had some issues with my FEL acting like it has air in the cylinders and they move a inch or so before they pick up any load. Both on the tilt and lift cylinders.

Good luck with the new equipment!

John

You said ""...the cylinders and they move a inch or so before they pick up any load. ""

The cylinders actually move an inch, with no movement in the lift arms? Something seems loose between the cylinder ends and the lift arms if that is the case. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif Or were you saying something else moved an inch or so?

I too have noticed some air-like symptoms in my dump cylinders. I suspect it's from connecting and disconnnecting the hoses as it seems to go away after awhile. My 2210 has HDAP tires. very impressive little machine. Anyone have difficulties putting the engine side panels on?

that hose on my machine is strapped to the frame and doesn't appear to contact anything also it is braided.

 

[JDdude]

The hose on mine is zip tied to the frame side also, but where it goes from the most forward zip tie to the radiator it rubs on the metal there..and mine is braided also, but still showed signs of abrasion..Hopefully mine was-is the only one..
