I've had each version of GC compacts, GC2310, GC2610, GC 1710 and and the newest one. I went with the GC 1710 because of the difference in RPM'S, as I thought I would have longer longevity with turning less RMP's. After a couple weeks, I missed the "power" of the GC2610. I took a dremel tool...
Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the gc1710 and the gc1720, besides horsepower? I've looked at a gc1705 and I'm interested in trading my GC2610, but need to know why there is now $2000.00 between a GC1710 and a GC1720. If I remember right it was only $500.00 between the the...
I believe I have had the hydraulic lines going to my backhoe backwards for sometime on my GC 2610. I posted a while back that my 3pt valve went bad and when it was replaced, the mechanic changed around the hookups, telling me they were wrong. After this valve was replaced and hookups changed...
I have owned a GC series Massey since 2005 and a GC 2610 since 2008. On Saturday, while moving a large pile of topsoil for a neighbor, I finally "rolled" my tractor. The large pile had been setting for about a year and was very compacted. I was cutting into the pile with the front bucket...
I love my new tractor, but experienced my first problem this past weekend. A hydraulic hose on the main boom for the backhoe burst, sending hydraulic fluid into my face. It appears that this is a design flaw, as there is nothing to protect the hoses as they past out of the boom. (See Photos)...
While installing the upgrade for the HST Pedal Return (Neutral), I attempted to grease the fitting that is located between the HST Pedals. It would not take grease. I changed the grese fitting and still no luck. Has anyone else had any problems greasing this fitting?
I went to put my loader on my 2610 the other day and noticed that only one loader cylinder wasn't moving. After double checking my hydro connections, I extended the moving cylinder all the way and then the other cylinder started moving. Is there any problem that I need to worry about? My 2310...
Well today, I took the plunge and bought a 2610. I must say that it is a much refined tractor compared to my old 2310. I really like the new joystick for the loader. The only thing I don't like, it the plastic around the seat. The new pedals are going to take some getting use to. The build...
I'm going to buy a new 2610 on Monday and was shocked how much a 60 inch belly mower was. I was quoted $1995.00. Does this sound ok? The tractor is <$16000.00. Thanks
I'm trying to remove the steering wheel on my 2310 and need help. I figured that once I popped off the center cap, I would find some threaded holes to use a steering wheel puller on, but the three holes surrounding the center hole are not threaded. I tried using two bars of steel across the...
When performing service on my tractor at 450 hours, I noticed that the steering cylinder in front of the front axle, moves slightly when the steering wheel is turned backwards and forths. Has anyone else notived this with their's? It appears to me that this should not move and should rest...
\"New\" 2310 backhoe
I have an older 2310 without a tach. A co-worker just bought a new 2310 and I went over to play with it. Upon unhooking the backhoe, I found three hydrualic lines going to it. Can anyone tell me why there's three lines on the new ones and only two on mine? Thanks
I stopped by my dealer today and looked closely at the newest version of the 2310. I noted that there was an additional hydraulic line going to the backhoe. I also noted that there was a line going into the side of the valve body for the hoe, through the covering. This would be on the left of...
