    Received a recall letter from Agco today regarding BH2720 Backhoe issue

    From what I've read on various forums, the backhoe swings in one direction faster than the other direction. They are saying that some valve needs to be changed.

    Total cost so far for a Massey GC1723 and implements

    My list is stuff that I purchased over the last two years of ownership. I made my tool box out of an ammo can from Harbor Freight. I had to buy a PTO shaft because I cut the one for my tiller too short. My dealer is 2-1/2 hours away and they charged me to pick up the tractor to install the third...

    What have you done with/to your GC Series 2300, 2400, 1700 Tractor TODAY

    I changed the oil and filter on my GC1723 today. Then I changed the fuel filter. What a pain. I don't have the mid mount mower, so the linkage that connects to the mower deck needed to be lowered to get access to the fuel filter. Well the knob that locks that linkage in the up position was...

    Finally bought a small generator.

    They say at 100% load the generator will use 5 gallons per hour. So that would equate to about 2 days. They also say it may overheat and may shut down to cool off.

    Finally bought a small generator.

    We just had a Generac propane generator installed to replace our portable gasoline Honda unit. We wanted something that would run our well, oil burner, fridge and freezer. It is supposed to run 4-5 days at 25% load off of the 250 gallon propane tank.

    What have you done with/to your GC Series 2300, 2400, 1700 Tractor TODAY

    Our propane company delivered a new tank for our generator and their truck mounted crane did not have enough reach to get it into position. I used my GC1723 and pallet forks to move the tank for them. Then I backfilled the trench they dug for the gas line with my bucket. Without the GC1723 I...

    Thinking of planting a garden weed control question

    I put down cheap landscape fabric for the walkways and covered it with wood chips. Then I used cheap landscape fabric in the beds and used a propane torch to burn holes in it for the plants. So far so good. Very few if any weeds.

    Mulch around trees, yes or no?

    I get free woods chips from my tree guy and use them around my fruit trees. The trees are 3 year old bare root apple, peach and plum trees. They seemed to be struggling until I started adding the wood chips around them. This year they seem better than ever. I keep the chips a few inches away...
