I just bought a 2004 GC2300, with loader, and mower. The tractor has about 350 hours on it. I have a few questions:
1) I saw some posts about ultra-low sulphur diesel. Is this a necessity for this tractor? I'm in Canada - I'm not even sure what type of diesel we have. What is the concern?
2) How stable is this tractor on side slopes compared to a JD L-120? I have 200 yards of ditch to mow. I presently mow it with a JD L-120, but I ride with one cheek on the seat, and the other off.
3) I don't have a tiller yet, but the dealer said that I could till with the mower on, but not mow with the tiller on (or vice versa). Something about the hydraulics being tied together. Can someone elaborate? If I can till with the mower on, does that mean the mower will also be down and riding on it's wheels when the tiller is down? Sorry, I should probably read the manual......
4) What are the weak points of this tractor? Anything I need to watch out for? Any special maintenance required to avoid problems?
Thank you,
Chris
