What have you done with/to your GC Series 2300, 2400, 1700 Tractor TODAY

[cglaser104]

After tearing apart my JD Gyramor 205 rotary cutter over the winter months I have finally gotten around to busting out the plasma cutter and cutting new deck pieces. Got a majority of the top cut but will have to butt weld some more sheet to the back to finish it. I also cut the sides out square so that I can begin marking and making the cuts to weld on the flanges and start bending the radius to follow the back. It'll be a PITA but I think it looks better and cuts better than a angels back side. The under sheet frame was absolutely beat from years of use (and abuse) so I'm modifying this to move the frame overtop. If I'm lucky ill be ready to mow in the fall.

Now that's what I call a 2 to 5 year project for me to complete...

I know how you fellas love your tractor ****....so here ya go. My 60" Countyline landscape rake arrived as did the gauge wheels. I put the wheels on the rake and went and tested it on a few spots out back in my yard that needed some clea up. Seems to be a perfect fit for the machine!

Ok CG, that rake looks great.
Do you get enough lift from the 3pt to travel from location to location?
I like the wheels, can see that being very useful

I like it, the rake and tiller are on my wish list next.

The wheels are adjustable so I can move them and use the top link to adjust angle and lift if necessary. Haven't had any clearance issues yet but obviously it's still early.

That thing is cool. And you know what it got me thinking, why don't they make such an attachment for the loader? Would it work so much worse than a pull behind?

Good question. I've seen front end power rakes countless times over the years but never a York/landscape rake. I would guess the weight of loader arms themselves would be stressful on the rake tines and create bending issues but who knows.

Bit of customer work today. A friend ground the stump (only guy I’ll refer/work with because he actually grinds them down far enough). I did the clean up
