Mowing Just Purchased used GC 2610 TLB

[DJRussell]

Hello all.
Just purchased a 2610 TLB (400 hours) with 60 inch MMM and Muratori roto tiller. Have dug out some stumps, and done a little leveling. Have had the BH on and off a couple of times, but have not used the MMM or roto tiller yet. I am pleased with the SCUT, but have some reservations about using the MMM on the slopes I have. Currently using a Craftsman 54 inch mower, and have to shift my weight to mow on the slopes. I will give the 2610 a try next mowing, and take it easy, and try to take the slopes straight on if possible.

Would also like to find a manual for the MF 2325, PDF form would be nice.

I have read lots on this forum, and feel confident that I can find answers to any questions I might have. I also think the 2610 will be perfect for my 2 acres with plenty of poplars to thin out, as well as some minor landscaping.

Welcome! I have the 2310 and some pretty good slopes, and I've been quite surprised at how well it handles them with the MMM... but I'm very careful. The really steep parts I only do while going straight up or straight down.

Take it slow, put up the ROPs, use the seatbelt, and try it, but don't overdo it. And always use 4WD low range on the slopes; if the rear tires begin to slide (in 2WD) on damp grass, you'll be in for quite a ride! WBB

DJ, you can goto agcopubs.com and order a CD. Don't know if it's in PDF format though. I've also heard the print option is disabled. This version is much cheaper though.

I mow steeper then this without a problem and if I think there will be a problem I swing the BH to counterbalance the tractor. Just be careful.And when you are on a bank put it in 4WD because the first time you find out you have no brakes because the rear tires are sliding you will make sure you have it in 4WD the next time so you have front braking.
