I'll disagree that keeping your tractor clean isn't important. As important as checking the oil, no, of course not, but never the less its an important part of maintaining equipment. Giving her a good wash is about more than making the paint shine, I think most anyone would admit that. Applying...

Some people don't wash their cars either, doesn't mean it's a good idea. I like to do at least a little cleaning from time to time..and if anyone doesn't know, the new ceramic coating are more durable, and a lot quicker and easier to apply than a typical wax....

This was the spray ceramic from Adam's. Started using it on the cars last year and love it. I've washed my truck 2-3 times, by hand (not a car wash) since applying it the first time and it still beads up well. I'll do a full clean and a new coat before winter. The tractor was super dirty. Broke...

Got a new toolbox, this is the bottom of the 56" Husky. Lifted it up on some clamp on pallet forks to install the caster. Gotta be 300+ lbs. The spec weight on the pair (top and bottom) is 542.

Any else put a ceramic coating on their GC? Just me? Sure makes a tractor shine. Passed 400 hour today

I do, rimguard in the rears, I think they are over 100lbs. It helps overall, but I could do without just as well. If I need to replace the tires for some reason, I will probably skip it. For snow blowing, I take the backhoe off, way to light in the front. I put on a ballast box with 3-400 lbs.

Well, figured it out, mouse nest in the air filter. This is what she sounds like now

Hey All, Haven't posted in a while, but got a problem I could use the brain trust to weigh in on. Up to about 310 hours on my GC1720. Didn't get much use with the blower over the winter, but have mowed a few time already. Noticed a whining noise from the engine. See the video below. I am in...

I have one and love it. I had a piece of 3/8 flat bar welded to the top edge of the bucket as reinforcement before bolting it on.

Well, you can see here what the problem was. In the end, I took the path of least resistance and just put on a new set of the Carlisle multitrack c/s, which is what thy come with. I talked with the local tire shop about set of 6ply turf tires that Kenda makes. He didn't seem to think it would...

I run turf tires on my GC1720. I've had some problems recently. I had a slow leak in one of the fronts. I was ignoring it, but then I ran over something and popped the other front good and proper. I brought both to a tire shop and they patched them. Not a week later, either I ran over something...

I can't help with direct experience, but it does seem that by the specs, this tractor will do what you want. Massey Ferguson is owned by AGCO, along with a bunch of other stuff. The ST35, just like the GC series is actually an Iseki built tractor, badged for AGCO. I believe the stopped selling...

At a slightly lower cost, you could add a grapple thumb to your existing bucket.

Not to burst any bubbles, it does look like Massey may have their own factory quick attach now. See this youtube video. And this video. I think they may have an SSQA option also. I've also recently seen mention of a 54" bucket option for the loader, a 16: bucket option for the backhoe. Massey...

I have a Protero PV-18 PTO. Got it in the fall of 2013. Cost a bit north of $3K, probably more expensive than the Kubota bagging unit, but has worked very well for me. I couldn't tolerate the size of a tow behind unit for the weekly mowing. Picking up the fall leaves would be one thing, but I...
