Here are the promised photo's of the 6" bucket I made for my GC2310. It proved
to be strangely difficult to photograph.

Thanks for posting the pics ray66v, you did a nice job. I think I am going to attempt to make a "ripper" bar for mine for stump removal and light trentching....

Ray- your Bush Hog tiller looks just like my First Choice RT048- are they made by the same manufacturer? I bought mine at the MF dealer where I bought my 2300.

I don't know if they are made by the same company, but they do look identical. Have you used it yet?

Thanks guys, check out my "articulated snow plow" if you have not seen it.
currently on page 4, under GC2310 Snow Plow, page 2.
Now that I am officially out of warranty, I am going to attempt to move the
brake pedal to the left side where it belongs. I will keep you posted.

The left side would be more convienent for the brake pedal. Just getting used to mine now (7.3 hours, I was just on it). I guess over time I will get used to where the brake pedal is though. Is it standard on larger tractors to have the brake on the left or the right, just my ignorance?

The problem with this setup is, if you try to move in close to say a house, or a hole and dump the front bucket the time it takes to move your foot from the drive pedal to the brake pedal can be frightening sometimes. If the brake was on the left side you could have your left foot poised to apply the brakes before
things get scary. It only makes sense since your left foot is not doing anything
else anyway. You will see what I mean sometime.

I definitely see your point, the left foot feels left out, nothing to do overthere except engage the locking dif. That left foot could be easily poised to hit the brakes when you are doing tight stuff around yard obstacles.

I just got my 2300 today and before this tractor I had a 1984 Snapper 1855a (same as a massey 1855a but different decals) that had the foot pedal for foward and reverse on the right and a brake on the left and I never used the brake but to set the parking brake but the pedal was more comfortable on the snapper.

Thanks Arch, I bought a piece of chain Sat. I think I will give it a try.

Let us know how the chain works, I am in progress of making a Ripper bucket for the stumps and any electrical trenches I need, think it will work way better than an actual backhoe bucket for this purpose, should have more ram torque than a bucket for ripping out stumps.......
