New 2310!

chile_etr · Sep 6, 2006

I've been browsing this forum for a couple of years now, hoping the right opportunity would come that I could purchase a new GC2310. Well, it finally did and yesterday I picked up a new 2310. I've learned alot from many of you about many topics. I plan to continue doing this and now that I'll be getting some personal experiences, maybe I'll feel I can contribute some. Thanks to all of you and wish me luck with my new tractor!

Good luck!

A little over a year ago I was right where you are now, let me tell you-you will have a "blast" with your 2310 (as LouBlades likes to say.)

Welcome Aboard!

Looking to buy a new Massey Ferguson GC2310 TLB with a Mid mount 54 inch deck mower wounder if the GC2310 Has enough PTO Rpm. To get a clean cut lawn note I think the BX24 has a max pto speed or 2500 where the GC2300 has only a 2000 speed.

rpm speed may be a little bit of a factor in finish quality but 9 times out of 10 people just mow at to fast of a speed to get a clean cut. I now mow in low gear to help slow myself down and what a difference it makes.

That is the shaft speed only. I am sure that they are geared different at the mower end. Does anyone know what the blade tip speed is on either of these units at the rated RPM?

Why the 54?
A 60 will trim closer to ditches and banks and shorten mowing time.

If you like 2500 better than 2000 why not buy the 2500?

I agree with JerryG, I think you need to look at blade tip speed for each mower. One tractor's mower/spindle setup @ 2,000 rpm may actually spin the blades faster than the others' 2,500 rpm.
