"I purchased this 2210 tractor to replace a JD 4100 compact utility tractor that I had owned for six years. I wanted a tractor with a little more power as I use it to not only to mow and till, but also to blow snow, which in Minnesota can be heavy at times. We've owned as many as seve acres, mowing up to 4+ acres, and have owned horses, using the loader to clean stalls and barns. I've used the tiller on tree rows and large community gardens, as well as planting our own 3-acre yard with grass after tilling and landscaping it myself. Our lawn looks better than those maintained by professional crews. I have a 10' sprayer that works great, as well as a spreader and trailer that attaches and makes hauling dirt/branches, etc, so easy. I've never looked back. I kept all the attachments from the 4100 model (52" snowblower, 52" rotary broom, 450 tiller), but did give up the loader as I don't have use for that anymore. The 2210 is smaller and lighter than the 4100 was, and therefore my wife and daughters aren't intimidated by it (they were intimidated by the 4100 and never did use it), yet the 2210 has more power, which is useful with snow-blowing. I honestly don't know if I need the extra horsepower for anything other than that.. The 4100 did everything I asked of it, and so does the 2210. These machines are as RELIABLE as they get. I've never needed to do anything with them other than routine maintenance, and I USE them, as I've said. I have a 450 tiller that is used in VERY hard earth and I have never had a problem. Even in wet clay soil the tractor will bog down sometimes, and then you have to back off a bit and start over, but that happens very rarely, and in terms of using the loader, snowblower and mid-mount mower, it is never an issue. The 2210 is also very versatile. It has plenty of attachments, as you can see, and it's built to handle all of them. The bottom line is that you'll have a hard time outgrowing this tractor. There is very little that a homeowner with 10 acres or less can't accomplish with this machine."

"We purchased a 2210 to replace a JD540. We needed a little more weight to move boats and campers around our yard. The 540 had a front receiver hitch and we put one on the 2210. Very EZ to drive and with a 62 inch deck mowing is a snap. I would recommend getting high lift blades as it will blow grass further and keep deck cleaner. Forget deck mounted washer, just get out your pressure washer. It also came with a quick attach JD loader that is very EZ to take on and off and is built to do smaller jobs around the farmstead. I believe with regular maintenance this mower will last along time. We tried another brand and all I can say is nothing runs like a DEERE."

"I got this tractor to replace a Kubota. I had driven Kubotas for 25 years, but the last model just did not mow to my satisfaction. The John Deere provides a better finish cut, but I don't believe it is the same high quality overall as the Kubota. It is fairly comfortable to operate, but hard to work on. Even an oil change is a major ordeal. Reason: I am working in an old barn with a rock floor. There is no way to remove the deck, so this means there is not enough room for the oil catch basin. Too, the hanger brackets break regularly, and it is a hassle to replace them and rebalance the deck. Poor design? Poor material? I'm not sure, but every mowing season, I have had to replace at least one hanger bracket. "

"My father bought this little tractor in 2003 to finish because I was working for a Deere dealer at that time. He bought this 2210 with a 210 loader, 62C mower, ballast box snowblower & 3PTH 60" blade to replace a B7100 Kubota which was purchased in 1982 and had 1400HRS on it. He was quite impressed of the 2210. I purchase the 2210 from my father in 2007 and had 267 hrs. on it. I finish all my landscaping, did firewood (about 20 cords every year) and many other chores with it. I never had serious breakdown with it. It's a good size for a home owner. I hope John Deere still have the same quality in their new version of the 2210."

"After my PTO Shaft broke in half and I I inspected the shaft I noticed that it was welded together with a very minimal bead of weld. After I priced the replacement shaft it was almost apparent (In my opinion) that it meant not to last. If I buy another tractor it will be a Massey."

"I bought my 2003 JD 2210 used in 2008. It came with a brush cutter and loader. I bought it because I can tow it with my 6 cylinder minivan and it fits nicely on a 16' lowboy trailer. I have about 3 wooded acres. I use the loader attachment for moving brush piles and topsoil. It does a good job for both. I have also used it to cut brush on a 12 acre piece of property that I have and it performed well. It maneuvers well in tight places and is very user friendly. I don't like that the axle shaft and wheel lug are one piece because I have to replace a rear seal and it looks like I'm going to have to drop the whole trans axle assembly to do it. Other than that it's been a great little tractor."

"This is the first new tractor I've owned and I have always found it well worth the money. The machine is incredibly reliable and a solid performer. I get as much use out of the loader as the mower and I'm quite happy with what it can do. Since owning the tractor I have built my own backhoe, which it powers effortlessly from the rear PTO and the 3-point, my own ballast box and just last year built my own fully aluminum cab with drop in hinge doors and hinged windows and the works! I've also just finished an alternator upgrade from the factory 20 amp to a more robust DELCO 70 amp unit. I've purchased a proper rear tiller. I've gone from a frontier rear snow blower to a proper JD front mounted unit. I've added a the usual tow behind spreader and sprayer. One of the first things I did was to purchase a 3-point Quick Connect hitch system which I now have all of my implements modified for. I've had to add my own rear Hydraulic quick connects as well as my own 12v accessory plug. These two items and the lack of some form of mechanical cruise control are the only real short falls on the machine."

"First tractor I ever owned."

"Bought this little tractor to take care of the property, 5 acres w/house & 30 X 50 metal out building. This tractor came with the 210 loader and a 62C mower deck. Have since purchased a weight box, front 54" Blade w/chains, and a 5 foot rear blade. Virtually use this tractor for everything. Only item I wish was different is the bucket on the deck is the large one, and even with a weight box it gets a little dicey when full of dirt or gravel if not on level. Love this tractor and it now has 750 hours and has caused me no problems!"

"I have a 40 acre rock and tick farm in west-central Arkansas. My tractor is used primarily to haul a brush hog around and to relocate the innumerable boulders that dot our landscape. This little Johnny Deere has never failed to meet the task. It was purchased used from Spider Webb In Ft. Smith two years ago and I could not be happier with it."
