Have you considered MF GC1723E? Easy to take off loader (or maybe leave it off and just put on when you need it).

It came today, here's a couple getting started pics. Lots of fun getting used to new control layout + dual pedal + no clutch, didn't do any damage ;) Put the blade on to smooth out some potholes in the drive, immediately noticed that with the rear blade down, going backwards to smooth using...

I'm in the process of deciding about updating my old Kubota B7200HST. Main requirement is to run my existing attachments (5' rear mower, 5' rear blade, 4' core aerator). Most of my hours are mowing 3 acres, then blading or plowing the drive, and maybe aerating no more than once a year. Power...

Near the end of a recent mowing session, the speed control pedal on my B7200HST began sticking when lifting the foot, instead of returning to neutral ....just a broken spring or is there more to it? I haven't worked on this part of the tractor before, should I go in from the top through the...

Would like to pretty up my circular drive a bit, getting ready to sell. After 10+ yrs the old stone is well compacted, with the usual strips of grass/weeds in the center and along the sides. Still fairly flat except for ruts at entrance, belgian block curb has held in the sides. Any...

Any experiences using a smaller PTO chipper/shredder (eg Woods 5000) on a smaller (<15 PTO HP) tractor? My need is for something to manage 2 acres of trees, leaves and accumulated brush/branch piles. Have B7200HST (14 PTO HP) which is not strong enough for some of the nicer units that have...
