I was planning to buy a 2210 also. Stopped by my dealer and asked him about a replacement for the 2210. He said he hadn't heard anything, so he called the JD rep. He discovered that the 2210 has in-fact been discontinued. The only ones availabe are the ones in the field. The rep couldn't give him any deatails on the new model other than to say that it probably won't be available until Sept or Oct. They are planning to introduce it at a big tractor show the end of October.

Hello everybody,I need some input concerning exhaust fumes.When I first got my 4400 the exhaust discharged underneath (standard position)it never really bothered me but my wife was getting a headache from the fumes.The fumes did tend to come up right up in the drivers area.So after talking to the dealer I ordered a smoke stack kit (approx $95)and installed it.It takes the exhaust out and up about 3'.Installation was very straight forward and required cutting a notch out of my brand new hood.Dang!I layed out the cut as directed,measured and rechecked the directions a thousand times, then stared at it about 20 mins before making that cut.(I told the dealer that if he received a call and someone was sobbing on the other end that to just go ahead and order a new hood!)But it came out perfect!Looks great.However, she still is bothered by the fumes.Are there any filters or other solutions to this problem?(and no, telling her to stay off the tractor is not an option!)Help!

I've had my 4400 HST since last August.I also felt the reversing pedal was uncomfortable.Then while looking over a new 4600 HST at the dealer I noticed the reversing pedal was taller,much easier and more comfortable to use.It was also cast iron.So the dealer and I looked at it and decided that it would retrofit on the 4400 and he ordered a set of the new design pedals.I only put the new reversing pedal on (only took about 5 mins) and I am very satisfied with it.Before,I was always straining to depress the reverse,now I don't even think about it.Unfortunately I had to buy my pedal but it was only $32 and an addition that was well worth the cost.

I am looking at a IH 254 compact 24hp 4x4 (mitsu.) diesel built in the mid 80's . The only problems seems to be the PTO. You have to push in the clutch to engage it and I feared that when the clutch is applied to stop the unit the PTO will come to a stop too. not "live power" I believe is the term. This would be a bad thing with a snowblower plugging every time I stop. The owner claims the clutch is adjustable to first stop the tractor's trans. then push further down and stop the PTO?? He has adjusted it to no avail...the PTO disengages when the clutch is applied. Numerous local IH/case dealers argue as to whether it is a "two stage" for lack of a better term, clutch some mistakenly claim it is live power!! <br> Could an owner of this model shed light on what kind of PTO this is and how much it would cost to fix?? If it is half @#$ live power I could live with it, or is the two stage clutch BS??? thanks a lot, I am struggling to find a tractor for a small 20 acre home. I wish I could afford a JD 4xxx or a kubota!!!

I'm looking at buying a compact (JD, NH or MF) in the 25-30 hp range to help take care of my 10 acres. Would also like to hire it out to help pay for it. Would have a loader, blade, tiller, chipper, etc. Do any of you do this sort of work with your tractors? What can you charge as an hourly rate? I'm in eastern Virginia.

I have a chance to purchase a B2700 with 150 hours. The tractor has a doxer blade. 1984(?) 1. Does $5700 seem reasonable? 2. Will this tractor have the powe to rum my 5' Woods (RM360) finish mower and my 4' bush hog? 3. Will current attachments such as Kubota loaders and snow blowers fit this unit? Thanks in advance for any help!!

Mel, where are you located? For a couple of thousand dollars, I will drive quite a ways if my local dealer isn't willing to talk. Thanks.

I have owned a tafe tractor for about a year. I really am pleased with it. Have not had any problems with it. I have the 35hp model.

I live 10 miles away from an auction yard, every month they have a auction of farn equipment. At the last sale about 75% of the tractors sold went to the U.S. Some of the local dealers sell brand new or close to new tractors there. There are at least two more yards near me that do the same type of thing. I'm not saying it's good or bad I just saying what happens here.
