Hey there, I'm new here and I'm trying to learn a little more about this particular tractor. Has anyone used this tractor for lite landscape work? Seeding, fertilizing, small grade box, or roller, spike, blade. (I do need to mow a little too!)I was wondering if this tractor was too small for this or should I got to a 1428 or 1433? Also I know the GC is Hydrostatic, so If I did need a bigger tractor, should I try to stay with Hydrostatic or go standard to do this kind of work? What is the benifit of hydrostatic vs. standard? I've been told that if I do more than just mow, I need to go to a standard Transmission. Is this true? I've priced the GC2300 ($9525.00 w/MMM) but I haven't priced any of the others. Well, I've rambled on too much!! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif I started with one question and found out I have alot more!! Sorry! I just get excited when I get to talkin' tractors!! Any Help? /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif WINSTONSM
