GC2310 question

[cag]

I would like some info regarding theGC2310. How does the GC performed with 3PH implements I would be using box blade, tiller, snow blower. I understand the BH is very easy to remove and finally do you have cruise control on the GC2310...cag

caq, All I can say is the owners of these tractors must be too busy using them to respond to your request? /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Maybe if you do a search here on TBN you could find some info? I'm sure in time someone will get to your question. If you can wait a while /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif I have no experience with the GC2310 but the more I think about doing things on my property the more I think I should have gotten one of them w/BH instead of the 1433v .

My problem is I was used to that size of tractor and was afraid to go down is size for power using bushog and 6' mower etc.
But now I'm re-thinking about a ZTR for mowing and a GC2310 w/BH for all the landscaping and tree removal tasks in digging up roots and such,rather than using FEL for creating a mess around tree trunks and digging up lawn with R4 tires and keep the old Massey 135 for the bushog tasks and such.

Anybody else having such thoughts??? /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

DougM, After re-reading my post I can see how it could come across a little smart. Didn't mean to ruffle any feathers /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif Just had thoughts that people are busy,Not meant to be sarcastic.
but as for the ?????????????? I don't know about that, OH Well

Do you have a BH on yours? If so is it easy to take off?
feel free to not answer if you have nothing to say(smart /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif)

I am a relatively new GC2310 owner (30 hours) and have never tractored before, so I am learning as I go. I unhesitatingly recommend Little Red if its size and speed meet your needs. It is tough, maneuverable, responsive, and just plain capable.

Re you BH question, it comes off in about 5 minutes. Takes a little longer to put back on. I have done it 4 times with the latest (best) time around 15 minutes.

I have a Gearmore tiller and it performs very well. It was a surprise to see how well the 2310 manages full weight implements.

I have used the BH to plants trees and to remove them. It will pull you into the hole you're digging if you get too greedy with the bucket.

I also have a Land Pride box blade and a Bush Hog auger. I have not used the auger yet, but am looking forward to it. The only constraint with the auger is a 34 inch depth due to the 3 pt being closer to the ground than with traditional large (too large?) rear wheels.

Thank's for the reply, can loader work on the gc2310 be done in high range or if one has to use low range...cag

(((Thank's for the reply, can loader work on the gc2310 be done in high range or if one has to use low range...cag )))

I have always used low for loader work..

But if You had to move a long distance load the bucket and then shift to high and go

Hi Cag,
Don't have direct experience with the 2310, but both my brother-in-law and I have GC2300's. Just got mine this Dec and put over 20 hrs blowing snow this winter. Worked great. He has over 600 hours on his and he does not baby it at all. Instead of the 2310 BH kit, he put on a Wallenstien GX600 since it was more heavy duty and the 2300 handles it real well. He also does tiller, box blade, auger, etc.. of course grass cutting with it and he has had no problems with the unit. Between that experience and the positive comments on this board made my decision easy. Get the base tractor with the mower and snow blower and then add when I need to (and when my better half lets me) /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Hope this helps some.
Henry...

Red your snow blower is it 3pth or front mount and how wide is it...cag

 

[red4now]

Hi Cag,
it is the front mounted MF2360 @ 50". Took 5 mins to take off the other day (felt is was finally safe to do so). Took longer to reroute the wire from the electric chute under the hood and tie it down for the summer (another 5 mins). I like this arrangement since the front end can also be used for a blade should I have that requirement. The only gotcha is that you have to have the grill off to attach the quick mount...4 bolts - another 5 minutes or so...so about 15 minutes to remove.

Moved a lot of snow this winter and it worked well. Had a similar unit on my previous sub-compact unit (same manufacturer) and so I was not disappointed.

Hi Again Cag, if you already have the 2310, a rear snowblower would likely be the best combo - loader in the front and blower balancing out the back - best of both worlds - depending on your removal requirements ie: tight spaces, vs long open areas etc..My need was for a long driveway and two larger parking spaces in front of the two houses on the property - wide open so front mounted was my best option.
