I am considering buying a 2210 with a loader and a 72" Woods rear discharge mower. I will mow 5-10 acres of fairly level ground about every 3-4 weeks. Does anyone have any experience with a 2210 pulling that size finishing mower?
Also, in regards to minimizing scalping of uneven areas, is there any advantage to a MMM over a rear mount? I realize that the MMM is only available in 62" but I plan to go 72" if I get a rear mount.
Thanks for any assistance.

Oh yeah you asked how much money.

2 new ag tires $100 each
4 new 16 inch rims $50 each (the original 2 were rusty)
2 14-inch Honda car rims as spacers $39 each
labor to mount 4 tires to rims maybe $75 total
4 inner tubes at $16 each
100 pounds of calcium per tire $?? each

now get a calculator, I think it's around $600 total

I have been using John Deere Summer Formula diesel fuel additive Stanadyne use to make John Deere's additive until recently but I think the tests Standyne advertises show it is about the same. Amalgamated makes a good diesel fuel additive but the smallest container they sell is 5 gallons and that sells for $95 out the door. I have been using John Deere Additive in the gallon can for the last 6 months in my Cummins and John Deere 4410 but at nearly $31 a gallon, that is a bit steep. I have been corresponding with Gary Pipenger at Amalgamated and he tells me that their additive is the best out there. Of course everyone says that about their products but, I am going to give it a try. Check out their web site. You can always get the Power Service fuel additive at Wally World but test show it is not all that good in every area.

Hi Tom I remember when we used to have a choice of #1 and #2 fuel and kerosene. Currently we have on road diesel gold color and off road red dyed (Canada does it too?).

Here's my experience and understanding. We do road construction and trucks are topped off on fall and parked. Last few years we started to haul asphalt out of Nanticoke, Ont in late Feb, this year last 3 weeks of Jan. Frist few trips we'd lose a few trucks to gelling of summer blend. Our storage tanks might have as much as 5-8 thousand gallons of summer blend in them. The storage tanks are hit hard with a refinery blended (at the loading racks) and additional kerosene is added to the mix to help over come the gelling plus anti gell addatives are added. The refinery, (usually nanticoke, Imperial) blend a winter mix diesel that comes in by the 8,000 gal trailer load, not died. To the best of my knowledge this has no kero in it unless we ask for some to be added. We have run as high a mix as 40% kero on road. Our off road diesel for our loaders etc is died and cut with kerosene.

Watching the pyrometer in the first few hot days with the wintermix and kero they run a lot hotter under load so usually a lower gear is required to keep the exaust temps below 900 degrees F. The reverse is true with summer blend and hard pulls on cold days you usually will not even get close to 900 degrees.

Any way my fuel tank is outside and it has gelled in the past. My distributor cuts my fuel (dyed heating/offroad fuel) with kero, depending on the temps. We had a couple of really cold months. I burn wood and oil is a back up and helps to heat this big dump. So I really only use 200-300 or so gallons of fuel a heating season and 60-80 gallons or so of that went into tractor this winter. I can smell the difference in the exaust. Plus I get a little more smoke from the kero mix.

Bottom line maybe we are only talking semantics here. Summer blend VS. Winter blend. #1 and #2.

Of course I see lots of Southern trucks up here and lots of Canada trucks headed south. SOOOOOOOOOOO...

I just spoke to a neighbour who is a trucker/beef farmer, he bought an old Massey-Ferguson at an auction last year for buttons because the motor was shot, someone had pulled the drain plug to do an oil change but left the machine, it was inadvertantly started and used without oil.

He figured the local heavy truck repair shop does inframe engine rebuilds all the time on trucks, why not a tractor? They apparently said they would do it if he got them the shop manual and they could do it as a 'time and material' job, not flat-rate. He agreed and they did rings, all the bearings and seals.

They apparently did a first class job, and for what he considered to be not much money. He estimates he ended up with a decent tractor for about a third of what it would have cost to buy normally.

Around here the ramps are precast concrete which arrives in slab form and is lowered in place by a very large boom crane mounted on the tractor-trailer that does the delivery. Although at least one in this area was cast on the shore in pieces and pushed in place using a large payloader. Underwater concrete pores are avoided since the curing concrete release lye and CaCl into the water.

The rule of thumb seems to be that you want to have a minimum of 36" of water over the back edge of the ramp when the water is at it's lowest point in the year since you never want to have the rear tires of a trailer go over the edge, possibly getting the tow vehicle stuck on the ramp. The 36" figure is for an average pitch ramp, it is greater for steep ramps, a little less for shallow ramps.

Best of luck.

I purchased a new 790 (4WD) a few months ago for similar reasons. I also like the gear transmission, though most guys prefer the hydro (which is nice, but extra, extra pricey). However, I chose a non-Deere brand mower because I wanted one with rear discharge so I approach things from either side.

From everything I know, the 790 is a fantastic, nearly bulletproof, no B.S. tractor. However, if you want lots of extra bells and whistles, then you will have to spend quite a bit more for an equivalent 4010 series tractor.

Wasmeneh, If I were in your shoes, (and I have been) I would do the lead/lag test on the Firestone web site. After that you will have three sets of numbers on which to base your decision.

1)Your current measured diameters
2)Your actual diameter ratios in 2wd, and
3)Your actual gear ratio lead/lag in 4wd.

I would do the test on a hard gravel road or similar surface so that you eliminate the problem Art spoke of with the ag tires sinking in to the soil.

Once you have the actual gear ratio you can find the right tire sizes and build in a small lead.

Arts advice to find a similar model is a good idea, might give you a clue also that you may need different size/width rims.

Also, before buying, get a thin flexible tape measure and measure the exact circumference, as that is the most accurate way.

Just bought a used 360DTC with a 5140 loader. So far I think the machine is great with the exception of 1 big problem: when I place the tractor in mid gear, I have a lot of chatter in the differential, irregardless of the transmission gear. There is no noise in either high or low range. Everything still works, however when in mid range the hi-lo lever occassionally pops out of gear. I've checked the fluid sight bubble next to the PTO, and don't see any fluid. WHERE DO I PUT MORE FLUID IN!!!!!!I've called the local Long dealer, they are no help. They've told me that they don't remember and they can't make heads or tales out of the manual. They ARE a bunch of inbred morons, but that's beside the point, and needless to say I did not buy the tractor from them. I've searched hi and low on this tractor for many hours looking for a fill hole that I can definitely say is what I'm looking for. HELP ASAP! Ineed the tractor and can do w/o the mid range, but I need to make sure I got enough fluid in the darn thing.
