SC 2400

I too have a mid mount mower but I know the wiehgt will not be a problem lifting a 60" on the 3 pt
but as easy as the mower is to take off and put on I would think the only way Id use a 3pt would be a brush cutter

I think the ag tires you can get with it are the same size I believe they take the lug size into account for size

It's not really the weight that the 3 pt can handle, it's the counter balance problem. Too much weight on the back and the front tires come off the ground. I had to add 8 weights to my 5254 to keep the front tires on the ground.

I have been told if I leave my front loader on, and put a 60" finish mower on the back, it should be no problem and weight would not be an issue. However, I was told that some of the 60" finish mowers can be pretty heavy and I should try to find one that is not too heavy. That is why I have asked here to see what others have done in that regard. I am curious to find out what brands/models of pull behind mowers people have had success with on these tractors. I also wonder if a 72" is going to be too big or heavy. I can find plenty of 72" finish mowers in my area, but not too many 60". I just don't want to go out and get something that for whatever reason does not work behind my new sc2400.

I was greasing the tractor last night and I am not sure I found them all. Does anyone know the number of fittings?
Thanks,

bought mine in may after plenty of research and three previous larger, and older tractors that i was never satisfied with. got the fel and mmm and have never been happier, 64 hrs on er now from regular mowing this summer and dirtwork with the bucket, uses no fuel, i think it primarily just eats air ?? formed up a rear weight using concrete that weighs 250 and provides ample counterweight for two wheel drive "heaped" bucket transport(sand,topsoil) will handle a full bucket with no weight on the back,in fwd. mine seems to be holding up good how is yours holding up? cant wait to push snow in da "U.P."

could anyone tell me a "start to finish" damage on the front blower?

gordyy · Sep 28, 2009

I really dont know what I payed for just the blower but it is one awesome machine
I have had garden tractors up to 25 hp gas and they work harder on 1 inch of snow than this does on 12"

I just got a quote from my dealer on a sc2400 with the snowblower. He gave me the MSRP and his price (which will vary from dealer to dealer, I assume, so here's the MSRP

Snowblower (SB45) $2,399
Front Hitch (FH100) 550
Hydr. Rotation Kit (HR45) 650
Hydraulic Valve (SCV100) 625
TOTAL $4,224

His discount to me was in the 20% to 25% range. Still seems like a lot of money, but I think the Front Hitch and the Hydraulic Valve can be used with other implements - front blade, FEL, etc.?? Maybe someone else can verify that. Maybe someone can also tell me if all of three features are needed, too.

I really don't understand why CC/Yanmar doesn't publish their MSRP prices or provide a configurator like Deere does. Unless they believe that they can't sell their machines on a quality basis and must compete on price.
