GC2310 review

[archerynut]

Just picled up the boxblade today, Bushhog 48". Haven't got a chance to hook it up yet. Justified it by saying that we will have a nice driveway without the potholes. Well, she doesn;t know that I worked it into the origianl deal and I was getting it all the time. New pics to follow.

Some pics of the box blade. I almost got the tractor stuck in the lawn, that's why so muddy. Just went down to feed the deer and other critters and on the way back up, mud city. 4WD and locking diff are a great thing.

Here are the pics of the driveway that I just smoothed out. That boxblade did a fantastic job. I will have to go back and smooth some more later on, but no more potholes for me.

Archerynut,

Did you have to reverse the pins on the box blade to fit the three point? That's what I dealer I talked with here told me is why I'm wondering.

Reverse the pins? I have a 48" Land Pride and have not run into any issues.??

No, the pins on the boxblade face inward and I haven't had any issues hooking it up to the 3PH. I can see how if the pins were outward it may be easier, but no issue hooking up and unhooking it.

I was looking at a 2310 TLB at our county fair last summer and asked the dealer if it would handle standard cat I implements. He stated you have have to reverse the pins. I guessing he meant if they faced outward.

I could see the issue because on the subcompacts the 3PH arms cannot spread as wide as CUT's 3PH arms. So if you want to some regular cat 1 implements you may need to switch the pins. The other side to that story is whether or not the tractor can handle the implement. I think all of the SCUTs have the power to handle the implements, but they may not just have enough weight (to counterbalance) and lift (height) to handle those implements.

I have used a King Kutter 60" tiller with my GC2300 even though the spec'd pto horsepower is 25-40 and it is listed under standard implements. I was however told that it would not work on a BX23 because the arms wouldn't open wide enough.

I also threw a couple 12" blocks in the FEL for ballast.

The GC2310 TLB was priced about 14,700 or so.

Wow, I definitly bought the wrong color tractor. I paid 2000 more for the JD. Wish I would have done more research.
