I managed to accomplish this 2 years in a row. I've just finished my changeover and am ready for winter! It was 65 today and I worked in a t- shirt. I pulled off the mower deck. Installed new blades, lubed, cleaned and touched up the pant. I installed my aux lights on the ROPS, mounted the...

Disclaimer, I don't have a P/U, yet. Always wondered about this. I've read quite often that diesel engines have great power. But, the drawbacks are expensive maintenance costs and when things go bad, they go very bad. Are these units "fragile" when istalled in pickups because of their high...

I posted earlier this spring about advice on building a backstop. The league my son plays in doesn't have enough fields for the kids to practice on. After getting chased off of 3 fields in one day I asked the coach if he thought we had a big enough back yard to practice on. He took a look and...

I plan on using my tractor for the project (there, it qualifies) My 8 year old and his baseball team need a place to practice. I happen to have an acre and half that's almost perfect for their use. Among other things I need to build a backstop without breaking the bank. any suggestions...

Just an FYI, My local dealer just got out of the business. They have 3 new 3ph blowers for sale for a significant discount. I was there yesterday. There was a 48 & 54 inch as well as something bigger than SCUT size probably 70 inches or more. Regardless, the 48 & 54 were tagged for $1,700. &...

Local dealer going out of the tractor business. Lincoln Supply & Equipment Co in Somerset PA is shutting down. I understand the tractors at hand are priced at 2% over cost to clear them out. I was past there recently. A few MF GC's & 1500 series left. A Branson or 2 here or there. May be...

END OF SEASON WORK DONE!!!! Took the mower deck off, scraped & touched up the underside. Touched up the outside of the deck. New blades installed, lubed & put away. Tractor lubed, chains installed. Blower installed, lubed & ready to go. It's 60 today. Beginning tomorrow the temp drops &...

In the event I can't get parts for my GC through my dealer what options do I have in the future? I'm refering to filters, blades and / or belts for my SCUT. Are there dealers on this site that will ship these items with a credit card order? Can any of these filters or belts be sourced through...

You hear it here first. I spoke with our salesperson recently. MF will be coming out with a 1526. It will fill the gap between the GC & 1528. Larger than old 1523 with more capacity. Should be out sometime int he next 6 months. I'm on the list

I have a GC 2300 with 275 hours. The seat safety switch started acting up today when I was mowing. If I moved at all it shut the tractor down. It acted as if I stood up. I mean I couldn't even shift my weight or it would shut off. It's not usable like this. Any Ideas? I have alot of work...

Has anyone run front tire chains on the MF GC series SCUT? The snow has been relentless this year, I'm running out of traction. I have a good set of rear chains & weights. I need more traction while dealing with the snow we have. Thanks

Hi guys, I don't want to start any kind of war here. There is something I always wondered. Does the increased longevity of a diesel engine offset the assumed increased maintenance costs? I'd be refering to 3/4 & 1 ton pick up trucks. If one were to ignore the increased purchase price are...

Has anyone ever heard of or used any products made by Luck Now? I just spent 4.5 hours digging out from the snow storm. I need a blower. I found a guy locally selling a used Luck Now rear mount snowblower for $950. I've never heard of that line. Any experience / advice to share?

I'm pricing a front blade for my Massey SCUT. I already have the loader valve, but need the blade and the QA mount. Ist number came back just under $1,900 if I do the installation. Is that number in the ballpark?
