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

My first tractor arrived last month. I bought the GC1723 with the backhoe. The first thing I added was an LED light bar to the ROPS. The headlights are useless in my opinion. I used a magnetic mount so I didn't have to use a bunch of u bolts. I can also quickly and easily remove it by undoing one plug and pulling it off. I put the switch inside the fender storage compartment where the optional 12v outlet would be on the GC1725. I can also turn it around to face the backhoe.

Looks great! The one thing I found is the rattling the rops do going over bumps made the light come down on my noggin and that wasn't pleasant so I just zip tied it which can easily be cut and replaced.

Today I removed the backhoe and hooked up my Woods box scraper. I used the box scraper to pull all the grass off the path to my house from my parking area and then put down new gravel. The box scraper worked great. I used the scarifiers to pull up the grass and then went over the path again without the scarifiers to pull off the grass (and snow) and level the path. Came out very nice. My wife was thrilled. I was surprised how good it turned out considering I just got the tractor last month and have never done anything like this before.

Yes, I took off that 2" of slush a couple of days ago and the gravel part of the drive is icy but blacktop is good.
