Just take off the spout and use a funnel. If you want a vent, drill a small hole (1/8 in) and plug with nail or stick.

Do you have a Massey Ferguson dealer nearby? I've had my 25hp TLB (GC1720) since 2018, 480 hours, and very happy. FEL, 60" mid mount mower, backhoe( for wife projects), rear tiller, other small implements. I would probably not get backhoe again, but it has been a lot better than a mattock and...

Check your cables, connectors. I had an 30+ year old charger quit. Turns out it was just the wire to the clamp had broken under the insulation. Easy repair.

If you get a backhoe for stump work, be sure the backhoe has a thumb attachment so you can grasp the stump to pull and lift out.

1st priority: work with tractor 2nd priority: keep radiator and air filter blown out and clean 3rd priority: always change oil and filter on schedule 4th: keep other maintenance completed on manufacturers schedule If there is any time left, wash mud off tractor. Wash mud sooner if needed to...

Are you trying to lift at idle speed? You will need to have engine running half throttle or more to get good lift force. Higher rpm gives more hydraulic force.

Look at Del Morino. I have one for my subcompact, great quality. They make models for larger tractors also. Flail mower is a great choice for the job you described. If you have the hydraulics, consider side shift and tilt functions

I second the RetailRems skid plate and step. Well made and worth the price. I actually got left and right steps.

Where do you buy these links?

Where are you getting the cable? I will likely be doing a similar project as I need to pull a line to my barn.

The Massey is a great choice and will serve you well. I have had my GC1720 over 3 years, 328 hours, and no problems. Mid mount mower is easy to remove and attach after the first couple of times. Be sure to get a quick attach front loader! I have a clay and a larger garden, and the 4 ft...

I just talked to the dealer maintenance manager. The steering piston rod is bent, allowing leakage by the cylinder seals. The cylinder will have to be replaced. I likely hit a small stump working on a deer feed plot, or working on a new trail for my wife to walk in our woods. Not covered by...

Mounts seem fine. No leaks. Steering is loose both directions, no change in the motor or noise when the wheel is turned past a certain point, and minimum resistance to turning when wheels reach the max turn radius. I dropped the tractor at my dealer this afternoon, fortunately he is only 8...

I will update when I know more. It may be next week, as I will be helping a neighbor dairy farmer with cutting silage. He just came home from serious cancer surgery and cutting starts this week.
