Just became a member but have been reading as an unregistered user for about eight weeks. I have a JD 2210 on order and expect to take delivery in about a week. Thanks to many of you for help in negotiating the price.
I have a Ph.D. in accounting and feel as if I am working on a Ph.D. in tractoring. Many good professors out there, I am really learning a lot.
My 2210 will have a FEL, MMM, LX4 Cutter and a 48" Frontier Box. I am looking around for other used implements. Could somebody explain what exactly is the difference in my limited hitch and the standard hitch and what I need to be aware of in sizing the implements to this smaller tractor.

The "Limited" hitch might mean that some aftermarket attachments won't fit your tractor perfect. The only difference between your tractor and the B-7500 7510 series is the size of the tires so you might be a little short on stroke to lift as high or to go as low. I only believe you would have trouble with the width of the lower link pins and the height of the top pin when someone is trying to built a CAT1/2 machine for different size tractors. Most all compacts are Cat1 not two. ....

The limited cat 1 hitch means that it doesn't have as much lift height as a cat 1 on a larger tractor. This is due to the smaller tire size.
Sounds like your implements are sized right for the 2210. You definitely need rear ballast when you're using the FEL. Even with light bucket loads it gets light in the rear without ballast. Your 48" box should be enough weight. Carry your loads low to lower the center of mass and reduce the "tip over" index.
Love my 2210. It does more than I expected. ....
