I bought MF GC1723 and I love it. It's got the quick change bucket,a back hoe,forks,grapple and a Roto tiller. The cost was lower than JD or Kabota. I've had it 1and half Years and have 300 hours on it maintaining my 10 Acres. Yes there are somethings it won't do but I work around that like cut...
I got two loads like that. I called is dumb luck. A contractor working on interstate had to take out some trees and get rid of them fast. I was just in the right place at the right time
They are interesting and there are a lot of articulating tractors made in Italy. My CAST tractor is not articulating is is just 4 wheel steering. You can rotate the seat and drive if both ways
I wish people would say what brand of tractor they are talking about. They give a model number or a color. I do not know all the model numbers. To the point my tractor could be bought painted red,green,yellow, blue or any other color. It's a model 435L do you know what it is.
I took down a old building and used my Massey GC 1723 with a grapple to move the roof to a burn pile. I did about every thing from the tractor seat and that's the way I like to work
I had my Massey dealer put a 48 inch CID grapple on my Massey GC 1723 and I love it. The grapple with the quick change bucket is the best thing I ever bought for my tractor
I had my dealer install a 4 foot CID grapple on my little 23 hp Massey. He did all the hydraulic hook up. I have a little rocker switch on the loader joy stick . I can operate everything with one hand. I love mine and I bet you will love yours.
Thanks for the pictures you just made my day. I know two other CAST owners that want me to write a book. The fork lift is one thing I had found little about. I've been making a list of cast tractors can I add your to the list. mercerdale8@gmail.com
Be careful I had a long set of forks on bucket. I turned forks down and hooked them over a log and backed up. In that position the cylinders were all the way out. I bent and broke both cylinder rods.A 350$ mistake
