Worst Ever or Misunderstood? John Deere 2010 Tractor Review

This is a long-time owner's defense of the John Deere 2010 against its reputation as underpowered, framed around decades of real row-crop and cultivating use on a fruit/vegetable farm. It covers the tractor's history, weight, gearing (driving through all eight gears), draft control, front cultivator hydraulics, turning radius, and why buyers who expected 3010-level power often abused these. Good for row-crop buyers weighing a 2010 against a 3010.
