Hey all I am scoping out a 1700d. I had a jd 430 with the yanmar 3 in it & liked the engine, however i don't know anything about this tractor other than it looks like a tractor. What should I look out for on this machine. This is a local tractor with like new tires, homemade rops/canopy on it with 8xx hours on it. Doesn't look tore up & seems nice overall. I am going to look at it tomorrow. $2500 I think is the bottom dollar on it. I plan on using it for small chores & food plot matence like run a small tiller & 48" mower. general towing, would like to retro fit a snow blower on the front, but that might be a pipe dream. I am also looking at a bolens g174 in similar price range, but it has turf tires similar hours & a 48" belly mower. Would rather have the 3 cylinder bolens engine, but seems like this 1700 mule is built heaviery, tell me what you would do. I can get the bolens cheaper, but with ag tires the price will be the same. Honestly the 1700d looks over all in nicer shape. Thanks
