X595

WilliamWallace · Feb 12, 2005

A JD Dealer here in Nashua, NH quoted me a 2210 with the X595 bagger. He said he would need to create a special hook to attach the bagger to the 3 PT hitch. He had measured everything and said it was very doable. He was confident enough to provide me a price quote on it. I'm sure your dealer could help you with that too.

Now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure I saw a post here with one of the members who had done this.

that sounds intersting...will any warranties be voided by modifying the bagger then? Now I thought of something else...with the extra weight of the 2210, it obviously would be better at towing, but would the X595 be able to tow a tow 650 lbs. tractors w/o damaging anything? Of course, this is assuming it has the traction... Also, is the hydro on the 595 quiet, and why is there no choice for gear? thanks a million for all the help! /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

One more thing...do the 2210 and 595 have auto-bleed...i.e. do you need to do anything special if you run the tank dry, or just cycle the key s few times? That may be the 4000 series....thanks

Powerstroke,
The 595 will tow much more than the weight you mentioned. It will tow as much as the 2210. The additional weight of the 2210 makes little, if any difference, in the towing ability over a 595. Both tractors would pull a monstrous amount of weight relative to their size. In addition, most users of these size machines like the efficiency of the hydro in these size machines. Because of their size, they are chosen frequently for small areas and back and forth work. They also have relatively high power to weight ratios which makes the minimal power loss associated with the hydrostatic transmission and non-factor. A gear drive tractor in this size simply would not sell for these reasons. I must also note that perhaps you should operate one of these machines soon. Although it is nice to discuss their respective benefits, the final decision must be which one feels best to you and your pocketbook. I can tell you that in this size machine, there are no finer tractors available (although several manufacturers have good machines); and in the 595, you are seeing a tractor that certainly has no equal in its class. Good luck with your selection. I do not think you could make a bad one.

yeah, that's a good idea... Need to find time first, but I plan on operating a 595 and 2210 and possibly a 4000 series, for larger work...all comes down to what the consumer feels more comfortable with... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif thanks again

powerstroke,

As for towing, I acree with jcmseven, both tractors have more than adequate power, and 650 lbs on a level surface should be no problem. But if you have any slope issues, then stopping and remaining in control will have you looking for weight (ballast) very quickly. The 2210 weighs ~ 400 lbs more than the X, depending on the model, that is a good start. Even still, you may need to look at weights, loading the tires etc. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Just a safety .02

Regarding the MC519 cart and blower...I wasn't a fan of it. I used it with an x585. It's powered by a drive belt that's added to the MMM, it seemed to have enough power & suction but something about the design of if as the material (leaves, grass, whatever) transitioned from the deck to the chute caused it clog quite often. On my little 2 acre patch I would have to shut down the tractor, disconnect the chute and pull material from it so many times it became a frustrating chore. Once I was back up and running I'd then have to deal with this pile of stuff that had been removed. The cart itself was handy when used seperately, but if you opt for a FEL the need for a tow behind cart may be minimal. So, whether you go for the 595 or the 2210 I would encourage you to look at some of the other bagging options.

Best, -Norm

powerstroke,

Sorry about the lag, but yes, all Deere tractors today are auto-bleed. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

powerstroke6ltr · Feb 13, 2005

MAn is that nice...but then why do the specs say mechanical bleed then? "No tools req'd" Does that just mean that it will mechanically bleed itself??? Driven lots of older deeres w/o that option....MAN IS IT ANNOYING...then again, only a fool would run out of fuel /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif Can a 3 bagger be put on a 2210, thanks for the replies!!
