Overview
An owner-operator's introductory video after six years of tractor shopping, framed as a 2210 vs. 3039R upgrade story. He explains his specific use-case reasons for choosing this model, PTO strength, loader capacity, ground clearance, open station vs. cab, tire selection, and shares an unexpected real-world finding: significantly reduced bucket and fork visibility on the larger hood. Also covers DPF regen frequency from early use. Best for compact-tractor upgraders weighing a similar step up.
