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

[Dmacleo]

old gc2400 was instrumental in building 4 tomato trellis, each 8ft long and hinged for storage.
used tractor to haul the lumber up, stabilize the 2 halves while joining, carry down to garden and test using bucket to place. then carrying to storage area for winter.
odds are next plant season I will not be able to physically build these so I did it and tested it now.

each half is 2 2x4x8 nailed to 2 2x4x4 end pieces. then the hinges placed at top of the uprights and old wire fencing installed. 1ft 2x3 nailed to hold fencing in place, 6 per side. these also give me stacking room.



can carry 2 at a time orientated to place or 1 at a time oriented to stack.









all ready for May 2026....

I got another 350 gallons of water out to the trees again today, was pleasantly surprised to see I got figs! Just planted them this spring!

Most of my trees are out in the open, the deer have done a number on a few of them, with rubbing their antlers on them ... Not sure if it will make it or not, I gave it a good drink of water anyways! I had just 10 days ago taken the wire surround off, as it was restricting growth ...

I left the backhoe on, as I was going to be digging in the creek watering hole again this afternoon, the stabilizers make adjusting the side to side pitch easy, to get the last bit of water out!

Then I dug out the creek banks some more ...

I got a RetailRems side step for my gc. Definitely going to be nice in the winter.

Also ordered their sentinel hydro fan guard. I actually ordered the wrong one and had to ship it back. So, just waiting on the correct one.

Got the sentinel today and put it in.

I got to swing by home today for a long lunch break ... I loaded up Little Baby Fergie with supplies and tools to expand my "orchard" electric fence, I have some figs that should be ripening sometime this fall, since these will be my 1st ones, I don't want to share them with the rotten raccoons!

I added a strand about 6" off the ground, but ran out of wire, I will put another one at 12" once I get home next ...

This should discourage the little bandits!

That's 9,900 volts!

Then I drove over to look at the creek project, we got .94" of rain last night ...

Bought new Kubota rear R4 tires and wheels for my GC2610. The rear wheels are now orange to match the front. I needed them NOW, so didn't shop around too much. The original wheels rusted right through to the point they were unusable. I believe this was because they were filled with calcium. I got beet juice as I was told it was non corrosive. With a gallon of hydraulic fluid it came to a bit over $1200.00 (Canadian). More than I've spent in repairs and maintenance since I bought it in 2010.

Expensive wheelbarrow helper today, finished up the fence ... That should keep the racoons away from my fruit trees!

 

[Dmacleo]

used it to place 2 front tire/rim assy (7x14 prob 30lbs each) from MF1532 into truck bed to get new tires. will use it to unload tomorrow. screw lifting.hydraulics are my friend.

Had a tree that I wanted to trim to get my cabbed Kubota underneath it to mow ...

Used the pole pruner mostly, but the chainsaw on a couple of the bigger ones I could reach ...

While this would have been easier if I had a grapple, I don't ... And not enough of this kind of work here to justify one ... Forks worked fine, and the thumb too ... I dropped the logs off at a different place ... Four loads total

Looks better now, I also removed the boards the previous owner left behind, nails included!

Later I swing by with my new to me "Big Lawnmower" ... It fits!

^^^ Nice. I was hoping to see a pole saw attached to a bucket scheme .
