Here's the straight scoop from a dealer here in the Portland Oregon area with some prices he quoted me:
Thanks for your inquiry on the Massey Ferguson GC2400 serie compact tractors. Below are some of the new features to be found on the GC2400 series. We should see them at our dealership this March. (probably at the end of the month) The loader for these tractors is the new style with the curved booms which gives a streamlined, modern look. We believe that the hood will remain steel construction. As far as the promotional financing, it will probably end this month (February) and won't be available by the time the new models reach our dealership.
Here are the updates listed on the GC2400 sereis that I copied from the Massey Ferguson website.
GC2400/GC2600 Introduction
We are pleased to announce the release of the new GC2400, GC2410, GC2600, and GC2610 Massey Ferguson
compact tractors. The GC2400 and GC2600 are rated respectively at 22.5 and 25 gross engine horsepower. The
GC2400 and GC2410 will replace the GC2300 and GC2310 model while the GC2600 and GC2610 are new additions
to the sub compact line up.
All new models come standard with a hydrostatic transmission and several new features to enhance the value of the
best sub compact tractor on the market. The new GC series has been redesigned with innovative styling for a sharp
sleek look similar to the 2600 and 3600 series. We also have improved the styling on the loader and backhoe to a
curved boom design much like the DL series loaders currently available. With a complete styling overhaul the
new GC series has sharp lines and a distinctive appearance.
Feature Enhancements
1. The new GC Series will now have side-by-side pedals.
2. The brake pedal has been moved to the left hand side of the floorboard. This new location is more accessible
to the operator and frees up more space on the right side floorboard for the redesigned hydrostatic pedals
3. A new improved analog instrument panel design with a tachometer, fuel gauge and engine coolant gauge similar
to the panel on a small chassis 1500 series model add to the distinctive new look.
4. The operator platform is now larger giving the operator more room and added comfort.
5. Not only has the platform been enlarged and the brake pedal has been moved but the location of the mower
height control gauge has also been relocated out of the way of the operator from the floorboard to the kick
plate for easier access.
6. Both TLB models now come standard with cruise control.
7. The flashers mounted on the ROPS have been changed with an added guard for protection. The new flashers
mimic the design of the flashers on the 1529 and 1532 tractor models.
8. Operator platform has been redesigned to add more space between the operator and the control levers.
All current implements for the GC2300 and GC2310 are compatible with the new models. The new DL100 loader
will work on the GC2300 and the 2350 loader will work on the new GC2400 and GC2600 series (excluding the
grill guard). All front-mount implements are compatible as well. The tire options and the hydraulic option will
remain the same.

The GC痴 have been a great selling unit in the compact line up. With the improved design and features we are anxiously
awaiting a successful spring in 2008. The first run of production will be available to ship to dealers this
coming March.
Sorry about the confusion on the financing. I was misinformed and passed it along to you. The promotional financing does run until the end of March for the GC2300 / GC2310 models. Our info on the GC2400 series is limited and has not yet been released to the public but it is unlikely that the 0% for 60 months will apply to the GC2400. We have a call into MF to see if they have any financing deals on the new models. I will let you know what I find out.
The info I sent you was taken off a secured web site accessible only to MF dealers.
The tillers that we sell to fit these models are made by Agric Tillers Inc. made in Spain. They are a high quality machine and will last for years and years of service. The model AL45 is a good match that tractor. It's 45" wide and will be wide enough to cover the tire tracks. They cost $1780.00
It sounds like R4 industrial tires are what you are asking for, they are available for both GC2300 and GC2400 series and the loaders are interchangeable between the two, except for the grill guard fits the GC2400 only.
The GC2300 with 2350 loader, R4 industrial tires, 60" mmm. List $16042.00* Your cost $13555.00* w/ 0.0%, 0 down, 60 months.
The GC2400 with DL100 loader, Joystick, Grill guard, R4 industrial tires, 60" mmm. List $16436.00* Your cost $14172.00 w/ (financing?)
