Just picked it up a couple of days ago and really like it. I had a Craftsman GT before till it caught fire a few months ago and burned to the ground. The JD seems pretty well made. There's a lot of palstic on it but then there was a lot of plastic on the Craftsman as well. (It shot black...

I was mowing the tall grass in my back yard and ran over a very low alder stump, maybe 5" in dia and sticking up about two inches or so. The mower made an awful noise and then it completely stopped working. This mower is brand new. I've used it three times and that is all. Heck, my old...

Does anyone have the tire size specs on the 2300 available? I am planning to buy a set of turf tires for my 2300 (to please the little lady who doesn't like the ag tire marks all over the yard) and I'm not at home at the moment to get the information.

I have only used my Maschio finish mower a few hours and a couple of days ago I was cutting some tall grass and didn't see the low stump that was covered up by the grass. The mower went over the stump and when it came off it was making a rather loud clacking sound. It appears to be coming from...

My wife is getting pretty unhappy about the ruts being created around our house by the agro tires on my MF-2300. I told her that I could probably go to Les Schwab and get a set of turf tires for the tractor but I have no idea what they would cost. Any rough ideas on the price of new front and...

I tried to connect the PTO driveshaft to my tractor today but didn't get it figured out. The manual that comes with the finsih mower was in a plastic tube that was connected to the mower and left outside for obviously a long time and they are in really bad shape. The instructions are...

Got it home and unloaded but much of the day was already gone by the time I got the trailer back and back home. I spent about 1/2 hours moving a pile of filldirt that has been in my way since last spring. I had been working at it for months with a shovel and cart. That impressed the wife very...

Anyone got any idea what the combined weight of the GC2300 and FEL is? I have a trailer that is rated for 2200# and I want to haul the GC2300 and loader plus a Rankin Box scraper (approx. 300#) and a Rankin finish mower (approx. 350#). I'm pretty sure the trailer can haul more than that but it...

I looked at the GC2300 today. My other choice is the BX2350. The quote I got on the GC2300 with FEL is 11,995 and for the BX2350 it's 11,900 for the BX...very comparable. The MF guy told me that the MFs are on sale until they are all sold out and this was the last 2300 on the lot. They do...

I've been having problem getting the darn thing to even start but yesterday I finally figured out that if you jiggle the key a lot it will turn over and start. So I started it up, then left it running to go get my gloves and when I came back around the corner it was burning underneath the hood...

I got the go ahead from my wife today to get a new tractor. I told her I would try to keep it around $10,000. So that's where I begin. I've been mowing my 3 acres with a Craftsman garden tractor for the last few years (glorified lawn mower) and used it to do a lot of hauling with the large...

I have a five acre home on Whidbey Island in Washington state. It is slightly hilly with about 3 acres cleared and it needs mowing weekly (minimum) from about April thru November. I've been using my old Crafstman GT for years but the deck is about rusted out on it and the motor isn't going to...
