Okay, stupid question. As far as gassing them out, are exhaust gases “heavier” or “lighter” than air. Will if “flow” into the network of tunnels like water? Or must it be forced.

Just curious, did the 2210 have the FEL on? And, what was the degree of slope you were “transversing”? 20degree?

Yes. I brew a batch of beer every 3-months or so, and thought I would give wine a go. I put in (12) plants in April, (2) didn't make it from the start, and the pocket gophers took (2) during the year. So I'm left with (8) plants. Next year, I plan on replacing the (4) and adding (6) more. And, with a bit of luck, I'll have enough to bottle a case in a couple of years.

Being an ex-dirt-track racer, I use the same type of 5-gallon jug and funnel that we used to fuel the cars. The jugs have an easy to tote handle, sit up-right and have a large (3”) opening, with threaded cap (Very handy). The funnel is a “D-type” without the filter element. I believe the funnel mouth is about 12” to 14” diameter, so I rarely spill a drop.

As for the time between fill-ups, I get 2 full mowings plus some putz-ing around time on 5-gallons. So, I refill the jug every other week in the summer. Like AV8R, I’m getting somewhere between 14 and 16 Hours on 5-gallons.

A “full size Ford tractor” with FEL, is not a SubCUT (BX2230).

Having used a 16hp Cub Cadet garden tractor with a blade and a JD2210 with a FEL to move snow. I would choose a blade over a FEL. And, given the option, I would choose a blower over a blade, or FEL --- Just my opinion.

A FEL on a SubCUT, is not the best choice, for most snow removal tasks --- Just my opinion.

In general, both of these machines are designed to make installation and removal of attachments, as quick and simple as possible. When you think about it, the amount of time (3 to 5 minutes) is really negligible, in the scheme of things. What’s a minute here or there, as long as you do it correctly and safely.<br>
<br>
In my opinion, I believe it more important to compare things like: Which dealer you are more comfortable with? Or, Which tractor’s controls you like better? (i.e. ergonomics), Or, even price? Etc.<br>
<br>
When I compared both of these, I was all ready to buy orange (and still would). But, what switched me to green, was (1) the difference in attitude and helpfulness of the dealers, (2) Deere’s “twin touch” pedal, and (3) the SCV and joy-stick placement.<br>

Size wise the 4010 is a step up from the BX-series. The JD unit comparable to the BX-series would be the 2210.

I was considering a posthole digger for my 2210, but since I had only 20 holes to dig, I gave-up and dug them by hand. Anyway, the one that I had looked into is made by "Frontier" (model PHD100) sold thru John Deere dealers. It shows 6", 9" and 12" x 30" augers available. If you search "Frontier" on the John Deere web site, you should find info on this, and other Frontier implements sized for the 2210.

I think I recall in a previous thread, that, originally the JD ballast boxes were not I-Match compatible. And, that JD recently changed them (within the last couple years) to work with the I-Match system.

I believe it has to do with the weight of the deck itself. In my experience, with the deck on, the arms raise to within an 1/8” of the stops. While, with the deck removed, the arms raise and rest against the stops.

It’s actually a rather “slick” little mechanism, and much more difficult to try to explain than it is to operate. I’ll have to check my photo archives at home, to see if I have any pics.

No, I never did make the trade. Even with my wife being behind me 100% for trading-up, I just couldn’t justify the difference in dollars. So now my plan is to wait for the next evolution of the forty-ten series, see what’s new and improved, then re-evaluate the cost-to-benefit ratio.

Frontier brand (sold through John Deere dealers) has box blades, rear blades, rakes, phd's, tillers, spreaders, etc... sized for the sub-CUTs. I'm somewhat surprised that your dealer didn't point you in that direction, mine was certainly pushing the Frontier brand.

I use a Frontier BB1048 box blade (which I believe is a full size Cat 1 implement) on my 2210 with no problems. The arm fit-up is perfect. However, as previously mentioned, the Sub-CUTs do not give you as much lift, as a regular CUT with a true Cat 1 implement.

I have had my 2210 with 62” MMM for about a year now (106 hours). I mow about 1.25 acres of tall fescue and 1.25 acres of alfalfa each week, and have no complaints with the quality of cut. The deck stays level side-to-side, and has a nice even cut. When finished, the lawn looks great to me. Although, to be honest I really have nothing to compare it with, other than an old 21” push mower.

The one thing that I have found, is that with the taller, thicker areas, I must travel in a near “straight” path. If I travel in an arc, even a fairly large arc, it seems to miss cutting a narrow ridge between the middle and outer blades (I think). It also does this on the turn-arounds. However, one last finish cut, transverse to the turn-arounds, corrects this, and all is well.

Not so fast, I thought I had last place wrapped-up. At Age 38, I had a CI of 15. I also, had to include the weed-eater, push-mower and, the car that technically belongs to my wife just to get there :-) My DCI is 3.
