GC2310 attachment advice

Double D · Mar 30, 2008

I will soon be in the market for a box blade and a rotory mower to team up with my GC2310. If anyone can give insight to what they have found to be either a good or bad match for the machine I'd appreciate it. Thanks....DD

King kutter xb implements are a perfect fit. And fairly priced.

I bought the mf 48" tiller, and it works great. Its not a sub compact attachment, its a full size. I also ordered a rear grader blade. It will be in on Monday. Its also a mf 5', they were both recommended from my dealer. The mold board height is 14". I do believe that is a full size also.

The consensus seems to be you can use full size cat 1 implements. Although sometimes you need to move the pins on the lower attachment point of the implement to the inside of the mounts. This is to allow for the narrow space between the rear tires. The other possible difficulty is lifting height, this is also not what is usually found on a cat 1 tractor. I believe the height is a concern occasionally with items like a post hole digger.
This is the reason I like the sub compact specific implements, they take these into consideration as well as weight, which is also a concern.

I am not sure I would want a 5' grader box. Unless your just moving gravel, or loose dirt. I have a 4' and for grading firm ground, it is about all my 2310 can handle.

I have a full size King Kutter box blade, but wish I would have went with the XB series. I went with the XB rear blade and it does ok, but I can not get all of the play out of my trunbuckles for the lift arms, as I believe the spacing on the blade is for a Cat 0 hitch. If I get any other implements, I will go with MF

I have 4 ft. Bush hog box blade and it works great, think I could have donea 5 ft, but I got a good deal on the 4 ft. I also have a 4 ft rotary cutter and it works great, no problems there, the little red MF'er has plenty of power to run it.

I also have the 4' Bush Hog box blade. When you attach you BB, do you adjust the turnbuckles on the lower arms of your 3 point so it pulls them inward, outward, or do you leave play on the box blade mount? I've been currious on what is correct.

I adjust out most of the side to side play by tightening the turnbuckles.

I also adjust the turnbuckles so there isn't much side to side movement. I leave a little just for a little buffer if I find something hard.

My dealer just delivered my new rear grader blade, in the middle of my driveway. So I must move it, (darn) But when I hooked it up I found that the lift height is an issue. It only raised it about 3 1/2 inches. I think this is a real problem. I looked on Massey's web sight and they recommend this Rb for a gc2310. I cant believe that they didn't considered this. I did try to adjust the top link to get more height, but then the angle is really off. I measured the height of the lower pins when the blade is level and they are 19". I measured the lift arms when all the way up and they were at 21" high. I'm going to call the dealer tomorrow to see what he has to say, but any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
