SC 2400

[joemama7]

anybody have some recommendations for a COLD WEATHER hyd./trans oil for the 2400? dealer says "universal tractor fluid", that's like telling me my car takes "universal car oil", thanks, may the force be with you

mine recomends the cc synthetic blend fluid
and here in ND we get cold
its some spendy stuff
also he said CC-YM does not recomend a full synthetic
but then whats $100. worth of fluid on a $20,000. unit

I have been told if I leave my front loader on, and put a 60" finish mower on the back, it should be no problem and weight would not be an issue. However, I was told that some of the 60" finish mowers can be pretty heavy and I should try to find one that is not too heavy. That is why I have asked here to see what others have done in that regard. I am curious to find out what brands/models of pull behind mowers people have had success with on these tractors. I also wonder if a 72" is going to be too big or heavy. I can find plenty of 72" finish mowers in my area, but not too many 60". I just don't want to go out and get something that for whatever reason does not work behind my new sc2400.

I don't have a 2400 but it's predecessor, the 5234. I really think a 72" would be too much for a subcompact.....and what you heard is exactly true, a loader is perfect for counterweight for a rear mower, and mower weights vary quite a bit, don't want to go too heavy.

I bought the snow blower last May in Bemidji, I paid 1900 for the blower and 440 for the linkage unit.

Mulch Kit:

Has anyone fabricated a mulching system for the 60" MMM deck. We have quite a few leaves in the fall and would like to be able to mulch up the first few weeks before I am forced to pick them up.

Can't you get a set of gator blades and fabricate a plastic cover for the discharge outlet? I'm thinking that would work...?

Not sure if this would work as the deck is not set up to mulch. I always thought there would be a different configuration under the deck to allow for mulching. I may be wrong and hope I am. If someone has done this before on a mid mount deck and it worked, let me know.

Thanks,
James

Id try just blocking the discharge and trying first
it sure seems like the deck has a ton of suction the way it is go across a bare spot in the grass and the amount of dust it pulls up is amazing

I saw on a previous message that somebody put an actuator on the snowblower chute, are there plans or instructions with the actual parts/models numbers? Also, I don't have the hydraulics on the chute, worth it?
