Implements : loader, mower, snow blower, tiller, rear and front blades, box blade, to much to list
Purchased From : platte valley equip
Strengths plenty of power for the size of tractor, I have a lawn care service and I use it to till up yards, move snow, move dirt, spray yards, and it does any thing you could expect a tractor of its size would do, I own (2) 2210's and would not have any thing else have 650+ hours on one and 250+ hours on the other and have had no problems at all, i put on a curtis cab and love it, keeps me warm in the winter for moving snow and provides shade in the summer this tractor will do what it is designed to do
Weaknesses none, i have spent 15 hours at a time in this machines moving snow and still could have went for more
Overall best tractors I ever owned, would never consider anything else just hope the new 2305 will compare

Price Paid : $13,500.00
Years of Use : 2+ Years
Implements : 210 FEL, LX4 Shreader, Land Scap Rake and Rear blade, Armstrong Box Blade,
Purchased From : Georgetown Farm Supply
Strengths Great Tractor. Easy to operate, and I really like the hydrostatic drive. I have the I-Match quick hitch which makes changing implements very easy. Has plenty of power and is easy to maintain. I have 7.5 acers of which I use the shreader for about 5 acers. The Front end loader and landscape rake are great for keeping up 1000 feet of crushed granite drive way.
Weaknesses The only weekness I have found is in the power to weigh ratio when using the FEL. It can get a little tippy when moving crushd granite base. I usually just hang the box blade on the back and it's not a problem. The staff at Georgetown Farm Supply could be a bit more knowlegeable, but overall they are pretty good.
Overall I have a little over 200 hours on it and never had any problem. It's very reliable in all weather and it allways gets the job done. Could'nt do without it.

Review By : Brookwood Farms on 10/16/2007
Price Paid : $12,500.00
Years of Use : 1-2 Years Use
Implements : 54" Mower Deck, Front end loader, 2-bottom plow, 2-row corn planter, 6' pull disc
Purchased From :
Strengths The diesel motor is as strong as a mule. I was very impressed with the power. Just purchased an 11 acre farm in March 07, and I couldn't be happier with the tractor. Plowed 4 acres of ground that hadn't been worked in 35 years. My neighbor's laughed when they saw the 14" 2-bottom plow hooked to this tractor, but were amazed how well it plowed the ground. I use the loader every day for hauling manure, firewood, or corn for the corn stove. The loader works great for moving dirt, stones, or mulch too. The mower works great, it takes about 1 1/2 hours to mow 2.5 acres. Hydraulics are very strong and the speed can be adjusted easily.
Weaknesses Rops destroy lower branches of trees, or the tractors lights. Make sure to use ballast box with added weights when using FEL to avoid tipping situations. Low center of gravity, makes it difficult to disc down ground.
Overall I would purchase another 2210 in a second. Although I might buy something bigger for larger implements in the future, but I'll still keep the 2210 for everyday uses.

Years of Use : 1-2 Years Use
Implements : 62" Mower / 210 Loader / Tiller / 3-Piont sprayer / 5' Blade / 5' Rake
Purchased From : JD Dealer
Strengths Great little tractor !! bought it used and have had NO troubles so far - LOADER comes on an OFF in under a minute !!(If if takes you longer than this YOU are screwing up) - Mower works GREAT when you have it adjusted right (MOST people don't know how to adjust them) - (THE MOWER WHEELS SHOULD NOT TOUCH THE GROUND!!) - The mower is VERY easy to get on and off-(Raise the front tires with the loader)
Weaknesses Hydraulics are SLOW !! - And I have heard the bearing for the rear PTO shaft has gone out on some tractors and it cost $4000 to fix ..?
Overall It is a decent little tractor - If I had to do it agian I would step up to the new 2520 - better hydraulics ...

Price Paid : $15,000.00
Years of Use : 2+ Years
Implements : Mowing deck
Purchased From : Hartville Hardware
Strengths Diesel is less costly than gas.
Weaknesses Doesn't have fold down bar, and my husband refuses to take off. We have a lot of trees, I do most of the mowing and it makes it difficult to get under all the trees.
Also the blades seem to cut into yard when mowing, if you are on uneven ground and also on turns.
Overall I think I would check others out before buying another John Deere. Also have a JD 318, which is old and I have sunk lots of money into it, and it still doesn't run well. We mow about 3-4 acres so need durable, thought that is what I was getting.

Review By : FM on 05/16/2007
Price Paid : $12,000.00
Years of Use : 1-2 Years Use
Implements : Front loader, Rear brush hog, Scraper
Purchased From : Dealer in Santa Clara, California
Strengths Runs like a deer. Easy to handle
Weaknesses When engage the PTO, the mower shudders. Like my old Yanmar which has a mechanical clutch release
Overall Very happy, I have a hill side property and the low CG of the tractor makes mowing a lot safer. My neighbor has a Kubota, I have to right him up twice.

Review By : Yankee John on 05/14/2007
Price Paid : $12,500.00
Years of Use : 2+ Years
Implements : 62"MMM, 47"Snowblower,54"Blade,Chipper, Hurd Spreader/Sander, quickhitch
Purchased From : John Stakowski, Granville, NY
Strengths Starting-I have a dealer installed block heater, but stopped using it; starts fine in the coldest weather. Service - the dealer delivered to me, demonstrated maintenance and attachments, and answered all of my questions over the phone. Reliability and operation - mows like a bush hog, throws snow like a champ, in 4wd pushes snow like a truck.
Weaknesses Already replaced one of the lights mounted on the rollbar - very easy to break off. If I have the chipper or spreader mounted on 3PH I can't mow on hills because the 3 point hitch and MMM are controlled together, so rear mounted implements drag on the hills in the down position. Caught a brick in the snowblower and blew up the transfer case; replacing it cost almost as much as a new snowblower - no explanation why the shear pins didn't shear to protect the transfer case.
Overall This machine from this dealer have exceeded all of my expectations. Removing snow from a 1/2 acre parking lot in the winter and maintaining a 20 acre woodlot and pasture in the summer were expensive until I started doing it myself with the JD2210. It is small enough that I can trailer it safely with my minivan on an unbraked trailer. I'm contemplating a FEL and BH next! Is there a log splitter for the 3PH?
