Thanks to Irene I had the opportunity to use my 10KW pto generator for backup power. I was without power for about a week and logged about 80 hrs with the generator powering the house. I can share some observations if there is anyone out there considering using a PTO generator for backup...

MF has announced the 1526. 25hp, 3 range hydro, and what looks like position control from what I can see in the picture. Press release and pictures

Hello, I'm looking for some help finding a multi throw momentary switch that I can use to control both electric chute rotation and electric deflector on my 48" RAD blower. Ideally I'm looking for something weather tight. I found this which looks like it might work, but it does not look very...

Hello, I'm looking to add a electric actuator to the chute deflector on my 2360 blower. I already have the factory electric rotation. I'm wondering if anyone knows the length of the factory MF deflector actuator. I'm considering using this one, but I'd like to copy what the factory unit is...

Took a drive to the dealer yesterday. Brought my front tires with me to get loaded with Rimguard. I've had this on my mind since I got my GC2410 TLB. When I go up a fairly steep slope, the front can get light enough so I can't turn the tractor. Front tires are coming of the ground. I...

Has anyone used a slip clutch on a front mount blower? Seems like it could be easier than changing shear pins. I've never seen it mentioned before. I've only seen slip clutches on rear ptos.

When I remove the BH from my GC2410 for a afternoon, I generally don't lower it to the ground after I unhitch from the tractor. I usually just leave it perched on three point like a tripod. It makes reattachment one less step. Is this a bad thing to do? Am I putting undue stress on the...

I'll be needing a new bar for my trusty 025C soon. Does anyone have experience with the E Light Bars? The reduced weight is very appealing to me. I don't use the saw often, but when I do it tends to be for 6 hours or more at a time, carrying the saw all over my property doing a little bit of...

Has anyone flipped their stabilizer feet over so the pointy end goes into the ground? The BH on the GC is very strong and has no problem yanking the tractor around. The flat side of the feet are smooth and seem to slide on the ground. I'm wondering if flipping the feet over would give the...

I'm in the market for a BB and I have available locally a Woods GBC48 and a Land Pride BB0554. I have seen the Woods in person and it is a quality item. I have not seen the LP and I am wondering how the scarifiers adjust? The Land Pride parts diagram shows a odd V shaped "clip shank retainer"...

I checked the mail today and found a package from AGCO. I thought this was strange as I had not placed any orders. I opened the package and found this nice gift box containing a card thanking me for buying a MF, nice quality hat ("limited edition owner's hat" according to the tag :)), a MF key...

It is interesting to note that with the demise of the 1523, Massey has a fairly big gap in the lineup. They have the SCUT GC and the next model up is the 1528. At 2400lbs the 1528 seems to be similar to a Kubota L series. It seems Massey has nothing in their line to match the B series or...

Hello, I have a front blower on order for my Massey GC2410. based on what I have read here, I have asked the dealer include a bunch of spare sheer pins with delivery. In my past experience with a single stage front blower on my lawn tractor as well as a 9hp Simplicity walk behind I have never...

Hello, Can anyone tell me the opening height of the 50" blower? I have one on order but unfortunately it has not arrived yet. I had to clear 20+ inches of snow with my lawn tractor and the 36" single stage blower. That blower opening is only 18" high. It is a real PITA to clear snow that is...

A little over a month ago I got my first tractor, a Massey GC2410. I have had almost no free time to use it until this weekend. I figured a good first task would be to use the BH to pop some of those pesty rocks out of the ground. The ones I almost always hit with the mower even though I know...
