tractor carefully and read about the pros and cons of this tractor as a
representative of the company. We would select the tractor with the
smallest power as a home gardener we will be interested in the smaller
size tractor.
The model we have selected is the 2210 4WD
compact tractor.
The Power plant: The features of the
tractor look very good and power plant gives 23 HP, through a liquid
cooled engine. It uses diesel as fuel and is very economical in the use
of fuel. The coolant flow is a generous 5.5 gallons per minute keeping
the engine cool.
Other features: The tractor has a
4-wheel drive and the 4 wheel to 2 wheel drive can be selected when the
tractor is working. The wheels can be locked individually to increase
traction when it is required for other wheels. The power take off points
are provided in the rear and in the middle for supplying power to other
implements when it is required.
Driver comfort: It features hydraulic
transmission so you do not have problems in shifting gears while
driving. You can also make direction changes easily with the power
steering. The controls are operated through Twin Touch™ two-pedal foot
control. This leads to driver comfort and ease of driving. The engine is
mounted on isolators and hence the engine vibrations are not transmitted
to the driver decreasing driver fatigue.
Engine Reliability: The engine is
reliable and works up to the last drop of fuel. On refilling of fuel,
the auto bleed removes the air in the system and the engine starts
immediately. The tractor has oil immersed wet disk brakes and the action
is quick and responsive
Safety features: The engine will not
start unless the operator is in seat and the tractor meets all the ASAE,
SAE and OSHA standards. It makes this tractor as very safe and easy to
use.
Costs: The tractor retails at prices
starting from $10,000 upwards.
Attachments to the tractor: The tractor
is versatile and can take up many attachments. One such attachment is
the 54-inch blade that can turn the tractor into a front-end loader. The
attachment features a concave surface blade with heavy gauge
construction with reinforcing angle added to the rear of blades for
added strength.
The attachment can be tilted through 30 degrees
for effective use. With help of this attachment, you can do shifting of
soil if there is any need or do the leveling of the field.
