    Chipper  Wood chipper on PTO with HST question...

    I'm about to buy a wood chipper for my GC2310 and for some reason, I'm afraid that I may have problems starting off the flywheel on the chipper without stalling the tractor since I don't think I have a cluck on my PTO. I rent a commercial chipper last year and it was tricky to get the flywheel...

    Why pay more??

    Picture of a draw bar: This item was not a standard option but the dealer where I got the tractor made this standard. So, I got one (somewhere in my garage), 400hrs on my tractor and I still haven't found a use for it... ...... So why a more expensive brand over another? These are some of...

    Snowblower  My rear 54" Smyth snowblower

    Since I had a hard time finding info on the Smyth snowblower, now that I own one, I have to do my part. - Price: Cost me less than 2k taxes included! Was the same price as the 51" Meteor but I didn't want the Meteor and don't ask me why. It's the cheapest price I could find. And not the reason...

    Diesel additive, is it a must?

    Is it possible that the gas companies already put additive to the fuel for the winter season? Cause when I did ask my dealer what to do, their answer was to keep the water away and try to keep your tank full. Did not mentioned anything regarding Stabil or the 9-1-1 stuff. Maybe our diesel...

    Snowower bearings grease type?

    I finally got my snowblower and there are grease fittings all over the place. My blower did not came with a user manual and I was wondering if lithium base grease is good for bearings? Ya, I noticed my nice title, too bad I can't fix this. Thanks in advance!

    Other use for back-hoe hoses?

    I have a GC2310 that comes stock with a back-hoe. Therefore, I have 3 hydraulic hoses behind the tractor: 2 that connects together and 1 with a cap, when the back-hoe is removed. Couldn't I use those for: hydro top link, snow blower chute controller, log splitter, ...? I know I would need...

    Snow  GC2310, 54" or 60" snow blower...

    I put my name on a waiting list for a 60" snow blower but I'm just not 100% sure if the 60" would be a better choice over a 54". My dealer recommends the 60" and says that people seems to be satisfied. I'm looking for input from someone who may have had a chance to try both sizes. The model I...

    Buying implements online in Canada?

    Does anyone have a good resource for buying implements online? Every time I call my dealer to get some info on implements, I feel like it takes for ever for them to get back to me. I try to avoid buying from the States because you never how much you'll be charge when crossing the borders. Ebay...

    Pushing with a 3pt hitch...

    A while ago, I saw in a post someone who mentioned that a 3 pt hitch is made to pull not to push. A wasn't able to find some concrete information on that subject. I do agree that it must be stronger pulling but is pushing is something that should be avoid? Since I saw that post, every time I'm...

    Snow Equipment Owning/Operating  Gravel driveway, snow blower, no cab

    I've been reading lots of posts lately on snow blowers. Lots of people seem to say that snow blowers without a cab is big no go. And also that gravel may cause serious damage to the unit and so on. In other words, if I don't plan to get a cab, then I should stick with my FEL and BB(back blade)...

    Choose a proper spot to remove your back-hoe...

    From a recent experience: Make sure you choose a levelled ground when you remove your back-hoe. Last week-end, I removed mine to put my rear blade. I put the BH in my driveway which is fairly straight but not levelled. Not the first time I do that. The problem was when I put it back in place...

    PTO sounds like a diesel motor, is that normal?

    I tried (activated) the PTO for the first time on my GC2310 with nothing attached to it. It was never used before and I'm just curious if it makes the right noise. Is doesn't matter if its the 540 or the, hum, the other one (2200, I think). As soon as I engaged the PTO, I can hear a knocking...
