I've noticed between the 2210 and 2305 if the light switch is turned on (headlights or flashers) and you turn off the key lights stay on.
On the 2210 all lights went off.
I liked that setup much better than the 2305 leaving the lights on when key is off

I agree, I don't much care for the lights being enabled with the key off though one time I was working on the side of the road in front of my house and I left the flashers on because I could. Conversely, if the lights didn't work with the key off, I wouldn't have even thought of it or cared to have them on.
While on the subject of the lights, does anyone know how to alter the lighting switch layout? In other words, when you turn the light switch to the first detent, the hazard flashers come on. The second detent gets you headlights and (optional) worklights. The third detent gets you headlights and hazard flashers.
There is no way to get all three, headlights, flashers, and worklights at the same time. When I snowblow in the road in front of my house, I'd like to have all three going. If I could just add the worklights to the third switch setting, I'd be satisfied.

I've wished for that too. I wonder if JD did that intentionally because having all the lights on might draw too much current?

My Kubotas have a separate on off switch for
head lites & tail lights
4 way flashers
turn signals

I think it's because it is assumed that if the flashers are on then your are on the road-and the worklights should not be used when on the road.
It's very easy to re-wire the worklights onto a new circuit with a separate switch for independent control.

Even if the lights didn't work at all on my JD's, I could never swing open my barn door and gaze upon an orange machine. Never happen. Sorry, I can only handle orange on Halloween pumpkins. Just my own opinion.
