Front or Rear Blower for GC

[WilliamBos]

And I see you added a cool redneck suicide knob, too. You guys in the south crack me up.

Looks like our next opportunity to use the snow blower is coming at the end of the week.

Why they are so cool, we have one too, a TSC Redneck special.



Makes life so much easier.

I would never have a blower without a cab.

No question, I would get a front mount.

I got the front blower for my GC --yes, it's expensive-- but never looked back. It works very well, I have no snowpiles to try to see around, and, occasionally, if I need the FEL, it's not that hard to remove the blower and put the FEL back on. (The blower's attachment sub-frame & driveshaft extension can stay in place while using the FEL, though they don't take much time to remove, either.)

My drive is about 200' long and uphill, and I also didn't want to face rearward. For really tight places alongside house and garage, I either shovel by hand --really doesn't take that long to kick it back 2-3 feet-- or use my ol' walk-behind blower. I haven't felt the need to use the FEL but once or twice a winter, the blower works so well. I also believe the blower's also a heck of a lot more efficient that the FEL at getting snow out of the way.

There are many who swear by the front blower/rear blade set-up, or the rear blower/front blade or FEL configuration, but I've been very happy with the front blower.

BTW-- $3000 for a M-F 2360 blower is very good; mine was $3900 (installed) when I bought the tractor a year ago.

do you have a link or I could get the kit with the blower for a gc2410

Hi wimbly and welcome to TBN,

This is a 10 year old thread, you might trying to PM (private message) irvingj if he does not answer in a day or so.

I just happened upon your post by accident today and I do have a 2009 MF GC2410 with a MF 2360 snowblower with quick hitch, and electric chute controls.

If you are just looking for the MF identification numbers, I can list the ones for mine below, I do not know if they changed any of them in 10 years.

MF 2360 snowblower

MF Electric Deflector option #8300203

MF Electric Rotation option #8300202

MF Subframe (quick hitch required for the snowblower) #8300101

MF Drive Kit (accessory option for the quick hitch required for the snowblower) #8300201

A snowblower that is useless for plowing back plowed berms and useless for drifted snow is pretty much a useless snowblower for my former conditions.

The comment about lake effect snow coming straight down is the funniest thing I have read this week. When lake effect snow is falling 200 miles from the lake as it sometimes does, it ain't falling straight down anywhere in that radius.
