I think you need to contact New Holland directly to get an answer on this. Goode luck sounds like they have had lots of CVT issues.

Is there repair software available for a 3050 Boomer with CVT

First, I have a severe case of "megalomania" (a delusion of grandeur or power). In my mind, BIGGER is always better and I just can't seem to buy, build or use small. I hate buyers remorse, so I usually study til my brain hurts and then pick a size larger. But in this case, I'm questioning my disease.

Here's my dilemma: I have 3 heavily wooded and 1 mowable acre in the far west Chicago burbs; plan on building in the next couple of years. I'll primarily be a weekend user as my weekdays are loaded. For my land, I will be doing the usual; mowing, moving dirt/rock/sand/logs/mulch/snow. I suppose I could get by with an 'X' and a few additional trips. I used a friends JD 4110 w/ FEL and MMM (great guy and machine)and my megalomania immediately makes my Deere of choice the 4115 because of the 4 extra HP.

Then, Deere introduces the 2210. I know, do you believe it? Size wise....it's smaller. A different machine design, but apparantly a good one. Honestly, based on lot size/use, the temptation now is to have a machine of that size and that 24 HP (smaller tires, limited cat. 1 and no folding ROPS). With large oaks, maneuvering with no folding ROPS under low hanging branches is certainly an issue, but then again, I have a Deere chain saw. So too is mowing and moving under/around the trees.....potentially better with the 2210 than the 4000 series. But are these substantial concerns? Although implements will come later (FEL and MMM are all I need to start), the 'limited' does concern me a bit for future landscaping/gardening needs.

I'm fortunate, because dollars and the local Dealer service quality are not at issue. I've frequently checked this fantastic board and memorized all the spec differences between the three (2210, 4110 and 4115). I want this to be my Green Baby for a long time and making a realistic decision (based on lot size/use) is the primary reason for this post.

Am I missing any issues of substance for my smaller lot? I think the 2210 would be just fine but will it be enough machine? Should I step up to the 4110 or the 4115? OR, should I just buy the 4310 (or BIGGER) and be done with it? I know there are other megalomania guys out there, so, what do you think?

My local dealer tells me R4's are not available on the 2210 (but then again, he couldn't find the key for me to give it a test drive).
I too am looking into the choice between the 2210 and the 4000 series. I used a friends 4110 w/ 410 loader and R4's and could easily see why any less tread would (on my property anyway) be a problem for loader work. It was a great machine.
For me, this is really a tough choice since the 2210 was introduced. The 4110 was on my wish list vs. the X, based purely on the type (heavily wooded) and size of my lot. I have been trying to think this decision through the long term use/needs, but if there is, or is going to be a 2210 with R4's, now I'm back to studying.
Good luck with your decision.
