Strengths Plenty of power for the size and dependable.Easy access to all major maintenance areas.One of the best cuts of any mower I have used.I use a Bx 2200 also, and theres no comparison.

Weaknesses None so far for the tractor.One of the implements could use some work.

Overall Great tractor for the money ,good warranty ,and customer service.

Strengths Overall a very solid machine. The FEL will lift more than you expect. I maintain 10 acres with a 1 acre pond and this machine handles the hills very easily. The 62" mower will cut through tall grass and vines with ease. Implements go on and off with little effort once you get some practice in. I use the tiller to till a 1/2 acre garden and it puliverizes the soil to almost sand stage. The 2210 pulls the tiller without even being in 4 wheel drive.

Weaknesses Needs more low end torque with the hydrastatic transmission. Tractor is a little to light with the loader and it is a must to load the tires or have the ballast kit. Needs better springs on the seat when going over rough ground you will need to keep seat belt tight or get bounced. Hydraulic valve for loader needs to be larger. Mower blade speeds are so loud you have to wear ear plugs.

Overall Overall all this tractor performs better than any I have owned so far. I have used a mid size Kubota on this land and the 2210 outperforms it hands down. I highly recommend this tractor for those with a lot of property to take care of.

Strengths Great all-around for my 6 acres. I use it to maintain the lawn, do landscaping (especially moving rocks and mulch), spread horse manure, move sawdust, care for a 1000 ft gravel driveway year-round, etc. Its a good size for my barn and not so heavy that it tears up the yard when I mow. Loader is easy to get on and off for one person.

Weaknesses Hydraulics need more power.

Overall Financing program when I purchased was fantastic - 3 years for 0%.

Strengths Best mowing tractor I've owned. The blade-tip speeds it realizes are incredible; in fact the deck at full PTO speed is louder than the diesel motor. The low-profile is extremely well suited for slopes, almost as well as lawn and garden tractors. Quick attachments are incredibly easy to take off and attach. Ergonomics are first rate! Lots of hp, both gross and PTO!

Weaknesses Hydraulic implement pump could be larger (so could all the Deere products up to the 4210 class), both the front and rear lifts could be higher, there should be better rear lighting, counter-balance weight is crucial; load the rear tires, and if you are doing any heavy loader work, plan on the ballast box filled with concrete! The MFWD lever isn't in the most convenient place (Deere, go back to the placement of the 55 series!). The mid-mower lift etc, should run off its own mechanisim, instead of the shared spreader bar. The tractor should have position control off of the 3PH.

Overall I'd rate this tractor 8 out of 10 on a scale of 10; when you factor in the cost competitiveness of it, you have to push it above 9! Go Deere engineers; you have, and continue to get it right!

Strengths EXCELLENT POWER/SIZE RATIO , STRONGER FEL THAN MOST IN CLASS , ECONOMICAL TO OPERATE , SMOOTH RIDE & OPERATION , EASY/FAST IMPLEMENT CHANGE , EASY TO GET INTO PLACES YOU COULD NOT WITH LARGER TRACTOR , ALMOST INSTANT STARTS

Weaknesses MAJOR COMPLAINT HAS BEEN LEAK DOWN OF HYDRAULICS,HAVE TAKEN UNIT INTO TWO DIFFERENT JD DEALERS,BOTH SAID IT IS WITHIN ACCEPTABLE LIMITS , PERSONALLY I FEEL IT IS EXCESSIVE , WHEN COMPARED WITH MUCH OLDER TRACTORS WE HAVE,WITH MUCH LESS, OR NO LEAK DOWN,ALSO NO TOOL BOX

Overall WOULD HAVE TO SAY OTHER THAN HYDRAULICS , I HAVE BEEN PLEASED WITH OPERATION OF UNIT , GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY AGAIN , WITH WHAT I NOW KNOW , MAY HAVE TO LOOK AT OTHER BRANDS AVAILABLE

Strengths The loader is probably the best feature of this machine, very strong and easy to use. turning radius is great. Like the two pedal system much better than teadle pedal. Overall look will not "date" the machine in years to come. MFWD engagement is NOT electronic.

Weaknesses turf tires look very smal for the machines size. 3 point hitch is very sensitive even when turned down on the pressure. Getting used to refueling every 5 hours (a bit annoying)

Overall Outstanding machine. I would highley recommend it to anyone. John Deere finally has something to compete with the BX line. For anyone with a small acreage or landscaping to do this machine is well suited.
