Experience pure joy: Our brand new John Deere 210p has arrived

[@timjenkins4637]

Beautiful machine, I have been a operator for over 40 years and bleed Deere blood. In my opinion they are the smoothest machines to operate!!!

[@dirtworx]

Yes sir! It’s definitely smooth, the 2d system is awesome I just need my smooth bucket to get here.

Nice 210, I bought 2 from Stribling a 2019 and a 2021. My operator twisted the stick on the 19 model land clearing. Bought a 21 model and it came from the Stribling rental fleet with just over 1000 hours on it, on delivery I was looking at the bucket and sure enough the stick was twisted. Over 70K each to replace ! My point is be careful if you use your 210 for land clearing, there is definitely an issue with the 210 stick design, particularly with a hydraulic thumb. Upon further research this is not an uncommon issue. You don't see that problem with equivalent CATS.

[@adventuresinlandservice6656]

A local rental yard has had two 35g’s with twisted sticks in the last year or so.

[@tristardiggin]

That thing is sweet!😀

[@dirtworx]

Yes sir! I love it, can’t wait to get some more seat time in it

[@LifeWithChase]

I see you over here looking at this John Deere LOL😂 @tristardiggin

[@tristardiggin]

@@LifeWithChase yup, that thang is perty!😀

[@storytimewithkhanlee3146]

wow, I was just thinking to myself yesterday "I wonder when he'll get some new stuff"

[@gillpecceuservices]

Nice Christmas gift. Keep up the videos. Aloha

[@dirtworx]

Thanks you sir.

[@madmax700r5]

That progress link geometry on that thumb is terrible and makes that thumb in the way. Can’t be full stick out and dig on flat ground.

[@dirtworx]

We will get with John Deere and get a service call on it, I’ll let you know what they say.

[@wantowski987]

Nice machine! Horrible design on the progressive thumb🙁 I run a WBM on my 290 link belt and I love their design on its thumb

[@wannabtrucker9634]

I was coming to the comments to say this exact comment! I do not like that thumb being in the way like that. What were they thinking when they designed that!!

[@dirtworx]

@@wannabtrucker9634 lol they wasn’t thinking, however from what John Deere is saying is it’s installed wrong. So they will be trying that if not then we will be getting a WB setup.

[@wannabtrucker9634]

@@dirtworx I’m glad they are planning to fix it for you. That would be a very expensive aggravation for you.

[@abikerinpa]

That’s a nice piece of equipment my new friend ! ♥️🍺😎

[@dirtworx]

Thanks for subscribing, we will have more videos coming here shortly on it..

[@4wheelers10]

Thumb would definitely be changed out for an AMI or something. Thats the worst thing I’ve ever seen. Or even get a Werk Brau since you already got their quick coupler

[@dirtworx]

They are coming out next week to come up with a solution and get this issue resolved. It looks like they just used what they had in stock. I would love to get the AMI but that dealer isn’t setup with them. I’ll let you know what we find out.

[@AutisticDigger87]

May i ask. I know that Hitachi and deer have split up since a while back. But why dos deer still have the same layout as hitachi now. Especially in the cabin area. Sems to me like they were living of Hitachi.. Are maybe Deer coming out with any of their own design model soon ? why don't you have traction control on the rollers instead of driving with the pedals forward/back

[@dirtworx]

I’ve never looked into the Hitachi units I do know that John Deere has a new redesign coming out maybe it will be different then the hitachi units.

[@AutisticDigger87]

@@dirtworx It's gonna be interesting to see what they look like 😀

[@Brian-gw6di]

Glad to hear Deere is going to fix that horrible thumb for you . that thing is a joke. Hope the machine works out well for you.

[@digginandbuildinwv7012]

Nice machine. Do you primarily just do residential work? Things must be booming there!

[@dirtworx]

Yes, we normal just do the land that we build houses on. We will occasionally do some work for individuals but very few.

[@digginandbuildinwv7012]

Gotcha, so your doing spec homes yourself? We are just about to start doing that here, but our is more the vacation type or second homes that is booming in our area.

[@dirtworx]

@@digginandbuildinwv7012 yeah somewhat spec house but we don’t build the same house twice, especially in the same area. Vacation homes or second homes aren’t popular here no one would want to vacation here lol.

[@digginandbuildinwv7012]

@dirtworx I totally get that, we are about 2 1/2 hrs from DC and Baltimore, and Northern VA , so everybody wants a getaway place here.

[@blakeholladay6899]

Oliver said. Is that peepaws in real life? Lol

[@joedoakes8307]

Are you going to have to find a tandem axle truck with a 3 axle lowbed to move it around with ?

[@dirtworx]

There is a guy locally here that moves all my equipment.

[@andrewbrenneman9592]

Looks like Deere screwed up with that thumb attachment. That thumb will be more of a problem than a solution. I suspect this machine will be getting a new thumb soon.

[@dirtworx]

Yes sir we are just waiting on them to come back out and get it.

[@James-er6qt]

Still hitachi cab?

[@dirtworx]

That’s what a lot of people have said, I’ve never seen one.

[@jacobbuckley8232]

That thumbs almost to big and looks like it gets in the way

[@dirtworx]

Yes it’s definitely going to take some time to get use to it, it works good for clearing thou. We will use the 180 for most of the dirt work.

[@ryanmanuel1763]

Man u can definitely get a better thumb then that! Worst design ive ever seen...

[@dirtworx]

Yes sir, we’ve made a call to my local John Deere they are coming out early next week, I’ll let you know what they say, he did say that it sounds like it’s not setup correctly

[@ryanmanuel1763]

U want a craig ss progressive link thumb. That's what I put on mine! When you need it it's there and awesome , when you don't it fold up tight to the stick! Hope you get it sorted out thats alot of money to spend on a new machine for them to give you a mess like that! Keep me posted! Thanks

[@kenf-c8m]

@@dirtworx it looks like the mounts are installed too low. I sell custom thumbs and attached and have been around many manufacturers, but I have never seen that before.
