I decided on the GC1710 for a few reasons:
- It would have been late August till I got the 1720 due to stock
- The 1720 needs to have RPM's around 350+ more than the 1710 to achieve the correct PTO speeds. I prefer the lower RPM's of the 1710
- The 1720 seat is nicer and is $1200.00 from Massey! I did find a similar seat online for about $250.00 which I will buy.
- Rear lights have a metal guard, from Massey they are about $35.00 each so I bought them for the 1710.
- 1720 has the rear work light on these guards. I will do the same on the 1710
That really is the only difference, so I saved $1700.00 and went with the GC1710. I did look at other brands, but my GC2310 was so rock solid I just didn't see the point in switching brands. And the new GC's have a full 5 year warranty as well !
Congrats! Good to see you staying MF red!
