Anyone have a GC1723 Massey Ferguson ?

[toppop52]

Yes , also a drawback for the mower is the 3 point goes up and down with the deck... I think I will get a zero turn mower instead of the deck?

I have a 1723 E the deck can be locked in the up position so it doesn’t move with the 3pt. I’ve had mine about 13 months and I love it, I take the deck off for winter in case it snows and so I can service it. I shopped for months, best deal I found.

I paid 13,200 with 60” deck, quick change loader/bucket and Dirt Dog land plane.
it actually mows my 2 acres in about the same time as 48” Kubota ZTR. I do have to do a little more trimming, but my wife does that.

The snowblower was ready to pick up today. On the way, I got a set of lightweight pallet forks for it, also.

The pallet forks are topped only by the loader itself!

Awesome package Cat! Where's the cab for snowblowing? LOL

 

[Cat385B]

Cat, can you look at your new ride and tell me what direction the mid pto turns when facing forward?
I am wondering if I can use my present snowblower or not?

Ok, finally hooked that part up. The mid pto shaft going out the front spins counter-clockwise when sitting on the seat facing the front.

Can ya get some employee to sneak one of those out in his lunchpail?

 

[skyrydr2]

I might just use the soft cab , I don't need the extra height over the rops as it won't fit in my shed.. a soft cab will just squeek in DOH!

I finally got my rears loaded with RimGuard last week. I went to just short of 150 pounds per wheel. Cost was just under $100.
No more needing 4wd to back uphill on glare ice.

 

[olcowhand]

I have enough methyl alcohol to load my Kubota's rears, but not messing with that till later, preferably warmer weather!

I’m calling winter snow blowing over. Put the loader on, palletized the snowblower and related parts, and stuffed it above the snow tires.
