Since nobody seems to own a JD 2210, I'm posting this In CUT HUT. Chief, you make the call if necessary.
I started mowing again with my 2210. One annoyance is the front and side screens around the radiator really suck the debris to them. It was real windy and dry yesterday, and I had to get off the tractor several times to clear the debris off the screens. Today I checked the removable screen inside the hood/cowling assemblies that is in front of the radiator. I was surprised that it was probably 50% covered in grass clippings. What was worse was the radiator itself had a significant accumulation of grass clippings! This (the inside screen accumulation) did not happen when I mowed in last fall.
Fortunately Deere (or Yanmar) makes removing the front and side screen assemblies pretty easy, so I gingerly got the stuff off the radiator and attacked the rest with an air hose. I can't believe
how much debris got past the screens. I mowed again today and frequently removed clippings from the outside screens and checked the removable screen inside. Hardly anything got to the radiator this time. Go figure.
I wish Deere would but an auxiliary fan that blows outward from the engine/radiator. It's annoying having to get off the tractor to brush the clippings off the outside screens. They really suck it in.
I can't believe this tractor has an idiot light instead a temperature gauge. On the other hand it mows great (62"MM). It even stripes pretty good. Mowing primarily pasture land. Handled the tall stuff with no problem.
