To anyone who has one how do you like it so far. Sat on one at the Dealer and drove it around a bit but there wasn't any place to really make it work. How do you like the hydro static trans. Does it have a abrupt stop when your backing up and let go of the Pedal.{ the one I tried did} also does...

Thinking about replacing my 2007 GC 2300 with a new Gc 1700 series tractor. To all that have gotten a new 1700 series how do they compare to the 2300 series.

After buying a few shear pins for the snowblower and paying way to much I decided to make my own.I made a jig out of a piece of 1/4" pipe and a piece of angle iron.I welded the pipe to the angle iron placed the new shear pin/bolt beside the pipe to mark where to cut the slot.I then put the shear...
