I just finished adjusting everything on the tiller, cut driveshaft, and tilled the garden.
It works great. It's made for the SCUT's, and it will raise about 16 inches off the ground for transport.
I had plowed the ground about a month ago, and used the cultivator on it.
But after 1 pass with the Bush Hog tiller, the ground was well worked.:thumbsup:

Thanks, and I will post pics.

Forgot to post the picture.

Nice:thumbsup: Good to hear it works well. How does the GC do with the plow and cultivator?

The plow I found is an old David Bradley, only 8 inch. Not really a fair test, but the 2400 pulled it just fine, even with turf tires.
The cultivator would stop the tractor, so I had to make several passes, going deeper each time.
My tires are loaded with Rimguard.
But all in all..........The GC2400 actually did better than I expected.:thumbsup:

Here ya go: Pic number 1, under the fingers on my left hand......this slides over the top of the frame on the front of the tractor. Directly below that(the shiny piece), is the locking mechanism...........operated by the T-Handle in pic number 4 (quick hitch installed).
Picture number 5, the little thing sticking up in the middle of the hitch......that holds the blower on.

The FEL can be used with the front quick hitch installed, BUT, the quick hitch, and driveshaft is sooooooooooooo close to the ground, that you would need to be extremely careful (I can't emphasize this point enough).

By the looks Santa starting his run early this year.

Nice looking setup.

Thanks Don87, that's great. I always wanted to see how the Massey went on, as I've only seen the John Deere setup. I was worried that the front blower would be a pain if you needed to occasionally use the front loader, but it doesn't look bad at all.
I've had my eye on a scut or cut for a while now, the Gc was my favourite choice, but too many other things keep coming up. Got rid of my dump truck because I was frustrated with the low rates, then I got really stupid and bought a highway tractor, then a pickup.......hopefully the tractor is coming next:laughing:

Thanks for the pics.

Hey, Paystar-- you're right, it's very easy to slip off the blower and mount the loader --I've done it myself-- but Don's absolutely right: that blower quick-hitch shoe sits very low. I found out when I --uh, contacted-- a low stone wall...:ashamed: Fortunately, no damage, other than some scrapes in my nice shiny black paint. But really, it only takes a few minutes to accomplish the swap, if you have wheeled dollies on which to set the FEL and blower.

Very nice equipment Don. Looking forward to winter to try that blower out..... are we.

I purchased the blower, so that I can clear the path for Santa:thumbsup:

But yes, I'm anxious to try it out.
May not be long though...........Rochester NY. had snow last night. I was there, LOL

Good luck with your 2360, I have found it to be an awesome snowthrower. It will throw light dry snow 50+ feet. I have thrown slush with visable standing water. With slush get into it hard and out of it fast. Light loading tends to clog. Personal opinion: for slush remove the wire gaurd in the chute as it tends to clog the chute.

Thanks for the tips.
I was wondering about the 'wire guard' myself. Looked like a problem area to me.

 

[irvingj]

Ditto on the wire guard. I've threatened to yank it off several times, but it's still there.... :mur: Maybe this winter it'll bite the dust!

And ditto on the slush! Mine's throw gets reduced to around 25-30' with the wet stuff. (Oh yeah, I can live with that!)

thanks for the pics, Very nice looking tractor, when I when green there was no red dealer in the area, but I have heard and can see many fine things about Red. Does your tractor have a rocker pedal like the orange or 2 seperate like green?

The Massey's have seperate forward and reverse pedals like the Deere. And left side brake.
