What have you done with/to your GC Series 2300, 2400, 1700 Tractor TODAY

[GeneV]

Hey cool, you got some work in. Me, I'm still pretty soggy in the back to get the massey out there, but did risk it enough to drive out there to the barn to fetch 60" mmm. Last year, I hardly mowed with that deck, but I'm gonna start using it this year. That deflector though, soooo stupid design! It doesn't even fold up full 90 deg. I'm gonna have to mess with it a little bit.

Yes, I'm paying for yesterdays little bit of work this morning.

Not all of the property is dry enough to run the tractor, don't want tire ruts all over.

I still have isolated areas of snow/ice, just off of the back of the house there is about 3' of snow still on the ground, leaking water.

It seems just about all of us are adjusting/adding/etc... one thing or another on our tractors to make them more functional to each of our preferences.

It’s on! Grapple will be here Monday.

It does add quite a bit of “noise” to that loader arm. But function over form will do.

Love it! Nice work!

Thanks! And thanks for the PM answer.

I just drilled an extra hole in that plate and used a hose clamp. It’s mounted firmly so we’ll see.

No problem! I think these MF GC's are every bit as good a machine as the much more prevailent BX or 1 Series machines and I'm always happy to help a fellow owner get the most of of their little red machine.

That said, I need to see the pics of that bad boy all hooked up and ready to go when the grapple arrives.

What one did you buy? EA Wicked Grapple? Precision Mfg mini322?

I actually ended up ordering “The Thumb” from Greens Machine Shop. $565 shipped.

It’s a 20” wide add on type. I will get two extra bases, that way it can be moved from my bucket, to my debris forks, to my pallet forks. All by pulling two pins.

Gonna get my moneys worth, lol.

A funny,

I spent about 3 minutes turning the factory loader control knob, figuring it was threaded...

It’s friction fit...lol
