I just bought my ym2210 from TripleDDD in Dodd City, TX, and I love it so far. I used this board extensively in making my choice. So thank you to all who post opinions, tips, and help.

I have used it two weekends now. How did I live without one?!?
I got a package deal that consisted of a FEL, backhoe, 5' box blade, 5' rotary cutter, and a post hole digger. I've worked (played to me) with the backhoe, and box blade so far. I'm hooking up the cutter next.
My 2210 has 4 gears for the PTO; which is the best for the operation of the rotary cutter?

What model/brand backhoe do you have? I'm looking for one for my 2210D and wondering how the tractor handles it. Is it a 3-point mount backhoe or is there a frame for it?
I believe rotary cutters are designed to run at 540 RPM - that would be first gear.
thanks!

I had a Koyker KB 60 with a 12" bucket put on it. It is mounted on the 3pt hitch and to the hitch mount. I read a few posts against that type of mount, however so far so good. I also am not using it for any heavy duty work. I have done a little work (played with it) and I love it so far. The tractor has done great, and I believe that Andy at TripleDDD matched it up and mounted properly so everything is good. Of course I'm now in Kuwait for the next few years so it may be a while before I get to play with it again.
