    Supply chain issues not ending soon - Case and New Holland in this article.

    2 massey Ferguson dealers near me. One had absolutely nothing on the lot (smaller dealer), other had 2 gc1723e (no backhoe models), and an 1840m cab. That dealer also sells mahindra and had about 20 of them on the lot. Ls dealer had 3 tractors, kioti dealer was completely bare, john deere was...

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

    Used the woods RC4 and my forks to clear out lane between field and creek line and cleared a path into the woods. Used the forks to move a few fallen trees and limbs.

    scut ride comfort while mowing, R4 vs turf vs R14

    I own a proturn 460 by Gravely and if you could use that seat on the massey you would love it. Air ride with suspension seat. Super comfortable. They do sell just the seat with suspension for about $900 but I have no idea if it can fit

    Giant Hornets, aka European Hornets

    I just got rid of a giant hornet/European hornet nest at my house. They made a nest inside my wall. They got in behind my front porch lights. Called an exterminator and he got rid of them, then stuffed some steel wool around the small openings, but there are still some that come up to the house...

    Bang for Buck - GC1723/25

    I can tell you in my area john deere 1025r with backhoe was 5k more than what i paid for my gc1725mb. John deere place advertised it at about 1k more but by the time they added all the hidden fees it was 5k more out the door

    Rear wheel spacers

    No we normally do not get a lot of snowfall. Usually just 2 or 3 decent snowfalls each winter but can get pretty cold so sometimes that snow sticks around for awhile. You never know what you are going to get with Southern Indiana weather. Each winter it can be 0 degrees with snow packed in or 50...

    I feel for you. I know all about paying those college bills as I paid for my son so he wouldn't be saddled with debt immediately. It is not cheap and I worked alot of extra hours to get it done. So best of luck and much respect for taking on that financial responsibility as it is tough.

    Rear wheel spacers

    Well I read that I needed 1.5 inch spacers for enough clearance I think for chains on the rear. Front only chains could be a good option for first winter just to see how it does though. Thanks, I had not thought about that

    Rear wheel spacers

    Ok, so with the 2 inch spacers you did not have any issues with your 4 foot implements? If that is the case I might just go with them. Thanks , I will look up brotek and see what they have

    Rear wheel spacers

    Is rear wheel spacers recommended on the gc series? I would like to use chains this winter and it looks like you need to use wheel spacers to do it. So since I do not have nor plan on having a mmm, I thought about getting some 3 inch spacers. I guess I am wondering if that will screw up my 4...

    Thanks , just had it built. It's a 40x80x14. And just wanted you to know that your videos helped make this decision plus your comments last year. I was on the fence on what size to get but I decided after watching your videos and others videos that I could do what I needed to with the gc series...
