MF new GC 1700 series

[Riddick]

This was just released last week. Looks exactly like the 2400/2600's, but supposed to have a few things that are redesigned. This is all the info I could find.

GC1700 Series Sub-Compact Tractors

Anyone find anything else? Wasn't able to talk to my dealer today.

That's the first i heard about a new series. I'm sure there's a few new features.

It probably has an updated engine dash display... more of the non noticeable stuff.

Also, finally a factory joystick.

The 24/2600's had a factory integrated joystick also. It was listed as an option on the 2400 but standard on the 2600, 2410 and 2610. The new 1700 looks to be hidden a bit more though.

I wonder if they modified the parking brake? LOL Sorry Wacky, couldnt resist. Also wonder if they are coming with the iseki engine. Beyond that I really do not see much of a difference in specs from the 2400\2600 GC series. Maybe the changed the model number because it too closely related to the cub cadet sc2400:confused3:?

Maybe they intergrated some of our modifications.:thumbsup: I would have be smart of them if the did.

Looks like they put a handle on the hood in the center to open it.:thumbsup:

Is the joystick still pedestal mounted?
