What have you done with/to your GC Series 2300, 2400, 1700 Tractor TODAY

[MF RED in MT]

I am glad some of you can use your tractors for spring cleanup and other jobs.

For me, yesterday I drove all of my snowblowing areas with the blower not being used but just for using my rear studded tire chains to scarf up the ice so it's not as slick.

It seems spring is not here yet as we have a cold snow storm coming tonight and then again Friday and Saturday, with sunday morning low of minus 4 degrees F.

Any way That's what the weather man is saying...

Here are a few pictures below.


1st). My driveway is so slick the dog is having a hard time with slipping on the ice, the dark areas are where I threw out sand.

2nd). My new (first winter use) studded tractor tire chains.

3rd). My shoe chains I use for freezing rain, and also use at this time of the year for the ice on the driveway.

Same chains I have; they do work well for scarring up slick surfaces!

I have a 2010 GC2610. When new I bought the workshop books for this machine. Neither they, nor the operator's manual say anything about a plugged air filter warning light on the dash. When this un-explained light came on I checked with the dealer who had to check with the factory to determine what it was. After cleaning the air filter this morning, the light is now out. Time will tell if this is the end of it. FYI: This light is an icon of the crankcase with the outline of an arrow through it, pointing to the right. It is located immediately to the right of the oil pressure light. I will now go back to replacing the left side kingpin???? seal.

Yes, after I saw a picture of yours, I had to have a set.

They sure do grip the ice, but the concrete in my garage looks like a woodpecker went at it (just noticeable marks but no damage).

Oh, I've heard that MF has a few secret warning lights hidden in the dash.

If I'm brush hogging in the summer, I'll clean the air cleaner with the air hose and have noticed that it sure is dirty.

Small grading job, that hump was about 3’ on the low side, was expecting a stump, found a huge boulder. Homeowner smartly decided to make it part of the landscaping. EA box blade for the win.
