Should I buy ISEKI TS2210?

Petman · Jul 24, 2006

You may have seen me ask for help on another tractor that I passed on. This has come through a dealer. I can't find much on the TS2210.

Iseki {Ford} Model TS2210 2WD 26 HP with Front end Loader and bucket. It has been completely re-furbished and has a 30 day warranty. It has a 3 speed PTO, and 3 cyl diesel that has had major overhaul. If you can purchase next week, we will reduce price to$4900 for fast sale. These Front End Loaders today cost $2900 from Koyker. It looks and runs like new !!!

This is from a dealer. From the limited posts about it on this board, I was concerned with parts. Dealer says I can buy parts from him. I am looking for a tractor to do mostly rototill work and occasional FEL work. I am comparing this to a Kabota B7100D, with Howard Tiller and Grass Cutter (no FEL) for $3,200.

Thoughts? Both are available for inspection prior to purchase.

Price is about average. It is not a Ford and never has been, it's just painted blue. Iseki made tractors for White and Bolens. I don't know about specific parts for this particular model, but Iseki is the only grey market tractor with a dealer in the US>

Make sure you can work on it. I own a TS2205 and had problems finding parts. I had to have them shipped to me from out of state and even out of country.

I liked my tractor just fine but the parts and service was too much for me. I am not a mechanic. I bought 3 oil filters had to get them from Texas. Finding a service manual in English just might not be available. I got a parts manual but could never find a service manual. The parts manual I got one for a Bolen's G242 it was close but not exactly the same.

Iseki made some tractors for MF and some parts are available from MF dealers if it is simaliar to one that Iseki made for MF but my TS2205 was never sold in the US and had no MF or Bolens or White match. So many of the parts i needed would be shipped in from Japan, at least that was what I was told when I was looking for some parts.

I finally bought an import which is sold and service here in the states.
