GC2310 Spotted

Local dealer in NJ had 2 of these on his lot. Here is a picture of the mounting of the backhoe to the tractor. Note the links are folded up,

Here is a photo of the whole TLB. I checked it out but did not have time to test drive it. My observations was that it was built well. I did have problems getting the seat to lock securely in the front position on both tractor. It seems that the base of the seat frame does not move close enough to a latch to secure it. It misses by about an 1/2 to 1 inch. Perhaps it needed adjustment. Also the bucket to the loader has a very small 1" opening in the upper back corners. I am not sure of the purpose of this. My camera batteries went out before I could get more photos. Massey now does make reference to the GC2310 TLB on their website. Last point is that the sheet metal for the backhoe bucket seemed lighter duty than that on the WOODS 6500 backhoe bucket and the teeth are not replaceable. Hopefully we can get feedback from those few owners of this fine machine.l
