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

[GeneV]

We live in an Ash forest here and have lost almost all of them, many > 100' tall.

Hopefully this is only an anomaly for you and you don't lose any trees you don't want to.
Your wood stacks are so much more organized than mine.

Thanks for sharing.

Right! That wood is stacked so nice and orderly!

2point2 -- yes, there is -- I have a lean-to area off my garage. Then, after owning it for only a few years, I noticed the red in plastic parts around the hood was fading, so I partially enclosed that lean-to space. At this point, the tractor's pretty well sheltered.

My fronts had always looked horrible -- I'm convinced (contrary to dealer's protests when I called them about it) they were swapped at the dealer before I got it; they looked much older than the rears, with lots of weather cracking on the sidewalls.

One tire had so much trouble keeping air I finally had a tube put in it, but even that let go after 2-3 years, so I just recently replaced them.

I have a small lean to on the side of one of my sheds where I store my tractor and needed a way to store my implements. So I built some shelves where I can leave the 3 point implements on the ground for easy hookup and the front attachments go on the shelves. I also got my grapple delivered today, but I am waiting on my dealer to come get the tractor so they can install the third function kit.

Love it dude, great idea!

Thanks guys for the kind words about my woodshed firewood stacking, but I really stack the wood as quick as I can.

The only thing I try to do is making sure the wood is stacked level or leaning down towards the rear so I don't have a firewood avalanche.

Also I have a lot of free air space in my stacking.

The improvements of the woodshed have been progressing for about the last 5 years + -, I think.

Two years ago I raised the firewood off of the ground and divided the rows into 1/2 cords by using vertical 2x6 and 2x4s.

The vertical dividers has stopped all firewood avalanches and makes it easier to figure how much wood I burn in the winter (about 3.5 to 4.5).

Looking into the woodshed, on the right side it's two rows deep; on the left side it's one row deep; and the far back is three rows deep.

Total firewood stacked is about 8.5 cords.

It’s a pulverizor. Kind of like a non powered Harley rake. It smooths, breaks up the dirt clods and blends the new soil into the existing grass very well.

Now there's something I would like to have, but can't justify it, because I won't use it enough.

I think we are all in agreement, that you should loan it out, if any of us need it?

put pallet forks on last thursday removed 2 window ac units, nosed forks into shed tossed them on shelves. one is 15K btu weighs about 130lbs and is awkward to wrap arms around. will take out the other 2 12K units in a week or so.

free shipping upon loan out should be a goal also.

I mean, why not go for broke...I think I should get paid for testing out that thing.

purposely put mine into ditch in 2wd to show flex stuff with rear tire 8" off ground.
I was bored.
gotta do final mowing but it won't stop raining

GC2300 frame flexing under certain conditions?

hard to tell but think its item 3, bolts/washers item 4/5 go in from each side of frame to it. when those are loose/missing there is a bunch of flexing. I know this for a fact. mine fixed now and...like I said...enter a 36" ditch with one rear tire off ground (yeah 4wd and diff lock used) every...

While my tractor is in the shop getting the third function installed, I finished sheathing and shingling the roof and put up the facia boards and a gutter on my little tractor lean to. No one had the same color shingles in stock that are on the shed roof, so I had to buy what they had in stock.

Looks great but I'd put some jack studs just for insurance.

Jack stud? Where and why? This entire shelving frame is 2x6's lag bolted to 4x4's and covered with 3/4" plywood. I don't really see a need for jack studs, but thanks for the suggestion.

Ok, just a suggestion. I built a similar shelving system with 2x6's but without hangers (that I hadn't seen before) and jacks were recommended because of the weight placed on them. Looks good and I know it'll be a great addition!

Pulled and loaded a bunch of red oak logs!

started final mow crap. sucked some stuff up into belt.
belt 3606880M1for a 2326 deck is 130$
stopped mowing and said fk it for now.

edit: belt is safe. the smoke was from spruce cones around driveshaft. no harm no foul. guess I gotta still do final mow though.

hauled few trailers up from woods area (approx 1500 feet) so when owner out of jail he can grab them.
7x14 cam dump trailer (aprox 7500lbs empty) was only one I was worried about.
faster to use my massey than jailbirds dodge cummins.
