Mowing GC Mowing Decks

Cdnhogman · Sep 27, 2009

I know all about the width of the GC2300 with the mower deck! I took me over a year to decide to buy mine because of the price and the fact I'm cheap. When I decided to get it we were into late fall and I decided to wait till spring, but I wanter to be ready for the spring, so I converted an outdoor stall to a tractor garage. This involved removing the man-style hinged door, enlarging the opening and putting in a sliding barn door. It is in a load bearing wall, so temporary shoring, new header, etc - a big undertaking. I went to the local Massey dealer and measured a tractor, went home and went to work, finished the new home and waited for spring to get the tractor. In the spring I went to park my new baby and realized the tractor I measured didn't have the guard on it because my new tractor WOULDN'T FIT! I now mow without the discharge guard. It adds new meaning to the - measure twice - cut once!

Ouch, Cdnhogman!

The space I use was originally intended for my boat, but works better for the tractor. I had the slab extended 6' 6" for just that reason, but forgot to consider the 4x4 posts and the window trim....

The boat fits, but with only 1.5" on each side!

At least with the 2310 there's a bit more room....

(Boat now resides against the back wall of the garage-- better there, anyhow!)
