Used for Snowblowing, Brush Cutting and Mowing.
Model Year: 2010
I sold my 52 acre place and bought a 1/2 acre place on a lake. Not needing my Massey 1235 compact tractor for the lake I traded it on the GC2400 as it is the smallest tractor I liked that could handle a 4 foot bush cutter. I needed the bush cutter as I mow and brush cut about 32 acres on dads old farm. The 2400 was delivered to the farm with a Rhino 4' cutter, I spent the first 8 hours bush cutting and mowing 2 foot tall grass. I am very happy with the power and stability on the hills. I then moved it to my old home and hooked up the 2325 5' mower deck and mowed about 15 acres of 6" high lawn. I also bought an old John Deere 5' scraper blade and put a couple of hours on it landscaping dirt and mud. The turf tires had good traction and worked good all winter in the snow also. Next I moved the 2400 to my place on the lake and installed the front 2360 60" snow blower. I live in Northern Maine where we get around 115 inches of snow a year. It is the best snowblower I ever had, it installs in about a 2 minuets and works great. The tractor has a block heater and only takes about 15 or 20 minutes to warm it up so that it starts easily. The snow blower has no problem cutting through hard packed snowbanks that had been sitting for months or moving any snow I had to move. Lots of power for cutting, mowing, and snow blowing.
Pros: Looks Great, good power, easy on and off for the implements, comfortable to sit on all day.
Cons: No soft start for the PTO's, no problem at all for the blower or mower, but you have to idle down low for the bush cutter to engage without a lot of banging and shaking. I wouldn't let this keep you from getting the tractor as it works great.
