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

[Dmacleo]

yeah R4 are a good all around tire.My GC2400 uses R4 rears and R1 fronts. i have R1s for the rear but they do a number on lawns when driving around a house to till a garden.

We got about 8" of snow yesterday and last night (wet heavy like concrete).

3rd time plowing this winter season, only about 50% of normal snowfall this season.

Doesn't look like I'll be switching to the snowblower for the remaining season.

The GC has almost 800 hours for 15 years, equals to about 32 hours a year.

Photo is late this afternoon just before plowing.

warm weather, some rain, etc...led to 2+ inch thick icy skating rink for driveway as good portion gets very little sun.
put the box scraper on, tilted for VERY aggressive bite, roughed up 85 by 25 foot area. smoked a few cigars and drank some coffee.

Thought I was going to have to get out the GC today to move snow. Not getting much but the wind is blowing and figured I'd have a drift in the middle as usual.

But the wind is blowing in the very rare direction that causes it to blow all the snow out of my driveway instead of into it.

It has now been 24 days since the last time I started it up.

Been a while for me, too. Had it about ready to go yesterday AM, then decided it was little enough snow that I used my 3' garage-floor squeegee to push the snow off to the side. Works well (driveway's paved), only takes about 1/2 hr to hit the whole driveway. As soon as the sun began to come out, everything sublimated off. Tractor still sitting. We'll see what tonight's Clipper System brings....

We had 6" and it looked like it was going to melt/ice so I cleared the road and driveways.
Thick heavy stuff.

Yeah, it looks like the clipper on friday will end my vacation from moving snow. 26 or 27 days without starting the tractor in the winter is surprising.

So far this year I've used less than 5 gallons of fuel which means the tractor has not run more that 10 hours all winter. But that's okay by me. I have it to move snow but I'd prefer not to run it. It's no different than the 500# of salt I had delivered last fall that I have not used. I'll use it eventually, if not this year then next. One thing I can count on is that sooner or later I will need both the tractor and the salt.
