even as an owner (since new) of a 2012 John Deere 1026R, these tractors are catching my attention. SOME parts of them even look built better than the Green machines. Thanks for the video!
Just picked up a 2210. Was looking at for the 2220 but when i got to the dealer i saw that the new 2210 had been updated to the features i was looking for. They now have dual bucket cylinders, dual loader stands and a quick attach bucket like the 2220. For the price, it was a no brainer.
I have a CS 2520 if you look where the rear light wire goes through the finder you will find a extra plug in for lights . I Wired a light and switch for rear use from this plug.
They told me when I got mine that the turf wheels weren't as good while using the bucket as the trenches type wheels mine came with. And was hoping to get a quik hitch but only have a sprayer but am thinking about making a carryall box for the 3 point And I totally freaked out mowing when 2 times a stick was lodged in between the blade and deck, stopping the mower completely. Luckily it didn't bend anything. It's scary powerful though if mowing and you hit something. It will literally push clean through anything compared to my troybilt that I replaced which eould bump and splay the front tires. I'm happy with mine but wary when watching the bucket and framework lurch no problems yet and was completely surprised at the power when digging or anything and love the 4wd And I'm glad they came with 4ft bucket instead of all the others with 5ft. I can sneak through stuff with the 4ft. And it digs easier I believe. I didn't hear anyone with a 5ft say they could dig with them without teeth attachments. MIne digs just fine. But nothing will mow as smooth as my troybilt. But my 6ft mower cuts my mowing time by about 45 minutes....so yeah a sacrifice but I'm still working with tweaking it. So maybe juuuust maybe I'll get close to my troybilt. Later🤷
Good morning l just put rear lights on my CS2520 if you will look at the wiring harness under both finder there is a plug in already there for the lights l added a switch under the tool box .
It's ok on large, flat spaces. Not so great on hills and bumps. The anti-scalp wheels just tear up the lawn. It's certainly a tractor first and a mower second. My old Toro ZTR cut grass a lot better, but it was purpose built for that. But it's good enough for me. I live in a rural area, and manicured lawns are not the expectation.
Hey, thanks for the video, I have a question for you about the deck. On mine, when I set the deck hight, it's about an inch lower then it's supposed to be. If I set it to 3 inches for example, it's actually at 2 inches. Did you have to adjust yours or was it set correctly? I can't find ANYTHING in the documents to suggest how I would adjust that.
I don't think the numbers on the settings match up to inches. Same on my prior CS2210. I think the lower settings are really, really low. I usually mow at the highest or 2nd highest setting to keep from scalping the lawn.

Excellent video and commentary. Thank you

I just bought a cs2210 and has the skidsteer quick detach bucket and dual support stands so not sure what year yours was
It was a couple of years before those options were available. But I have since traded to one of the newer ones and I love it.
I'm looking to go for one of these. What would be the approx out the door price with the loader and mid mower?
$14k
How do you like the quality of cut that you get from the belly mower?

Looking to purchase a new kioti CS2220. Do you find needing more HP?
Not for what I do with it.
Hey Eric, i would love to get some feedback on this tractor, let me know when we can chat
