JD 2210 or what?

[TommyP]

Please help.
I am looking at purchasing a new JD 2210 with FEL and 54"MMM. I have price that I think is very competetive.
My concern is that it won't be big enough to do all of the work I want it to.
I have 8 acres. 2 acres cleared with house, 1 acre of driveway and 5 acres wooded with heavy underbrush, saplings, buckthorn, bramble, raspberry bushes and the like. I want to be able to clear this area. I know the 2210 will not handle the big stumps but what can I expect it to handle or not handle. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have looked at JD, Kubota, Farmall. I like the JD 2210 the best of what I have looked at, especially when it comes to distance to dealer, service and such.
Thanks

Ok, look at the 4115, and 4210....

If you need the mmm, and if you might want a backhoe especially look at the 4210 .... Both can be mount that way; with a 4115 its one or the other....

Also ask dealers about packade deals, low hours demos, etc. You might be able to step up a size without paying a lot more....

If the budget allows and you are sold on green I would look at moving up to a 4115 or 4210, I think the extra ground clearance would be a real plus.
Have fun shoppping and getting some seat time real soon. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

If you do end up with the 2210, Might want to look at dropping the MMM. You could probably get a rear finish and rotary cutter for about the same price.
