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

Shorts/T-shirt two days ago. Have to give it until Wednesday or so and see what is actually dead. Then replace.

That's tough. Guy I know is likely to be planting his 3rd batch of grass thanks to this.

I held the better half off for plugging and seeding until this weekend. One because I am still debating on which aerator to buy so I chase around the small rental unit over 1 acre, two because of living in Mi with late freezes. Don’t care to plant a bunch of grass early in April to have it die off with a late freeze.
Hoping that was it and what comes in now will make it through and give a decent stand.

Yeh, its sleeting here now actually, in the Chicago area.

So the biggest hit....bought Mrs MM, a concrete fountain for Mother’s Day. It was not cheap, the bowl cracked....between that and the plants I did some much needed tractor seat time.

Planted 8 new blueberry bushes and loaded a load of scrap up, I’ll recoup some of my losses there...

The grapple worked well for loading duties, although I found I will have to strengthen the top of the bucket, it’s pushing up a bit in the center, along the mounting base.

And, Puxguy, this is what you get when you're NOT by the lake....

At least the paved driveway stayed just wet -- but our dirt road was a mess! The snow on he uphill side of the house didn't completely go away until yesterday....

That's much worse than us because our snow was gone by early afternoon. It continued to flurry throughout the day but never accumulated. I drove over to Maine the same day and although they were getting snow, it melted on the ground.

Nice Sprinter, I have the same but a Winni chassis.

Had a light dusting of snow down here on Saturday. But got another stump removed and then filled in the hole.
The side root was almost as big as the tree base. Took 2 hours to get out and I finally got the root up enough to cut with a pruning saw.

Today the new step for my GC1710 arrived. I'm really happy someone started producing these. It seems really well built and since I'm a big boy (pushing 300 during covid isolation) it'll be tested. I'll share a picture after I get it mounted!
