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

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 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...

Did the 50 hour service last night, switched over to Amsoil. ATH int he transmission SVG in the front axle ACD in the engine Bought some grease since I was already placing an order, will probably need to refile my gun in a couple months. Bought an extra quart of SVG which will go into my...

Well, putting lots of hours on my machine (for me anyway). Need to do the 50 hour service soon, but ran into a problem today. I was doing some light loader work as we reshape some planting beds in the yard. I had just dropped a load of stuff off in the compost heap and was returning to the house...

Who has a Piranha tooth bar for their GC with the DL95 Loader? I contacted Expanded and was told to measure the inside bucket dimension about 3" back. I got 47&7/8. I was wondering who else has one, what their measurement was, what they got, and how well it fit? I assume there is a little wiggle...

Well, I did it, I upgraded my 2012 GC2400 to a 2015 GC1720. I had the dealer weld on some 3/8 plate to reinforce the top of the bucket for a couple of grab hooks and a "The Thumb" grapple powered by a WR Long 3rd function valve. Out back I have the standard 12" bucket and the factory mechanical...

Hey all, I've been thinking about upgrade my GC2400. One possibiity is moving up to a GC1710/20, but I've been pricing out a more significant option, moving to a kubota b2601. Reviewing specs on various machine got me thinking about what numbers are really meaningful to a user. Here are some...

Hey all. I currently have a Massey Ferguson GC2400 and I'm interested in adding a grapple thumb to my bucket. I don't need it a lot, so I have trouble justifying a full grapple, I also have a pin on bucket. Adding a "thumb" to my bucket seems like it would be sufficient for moving small amounts...

I spent a 2-3 hours cleaning up some brush with my chipper, then parked the tractor in front of the garage to come in for dinner, with the plan of putting it to bed after eating. Went back out and it wouldn't start. Checked all my levers, and still nothing. Decided to leave it out for the night...

Stopped by the Kubota dealer today because I've been thinking about moving up from my Massey Ferguson GC2400. They happen to have a BX2370, B2620 and B3350 parked in a line, which was nice for comparing sizes. They had a B2650 in the shop which was just set up. Based on the specs, I likes the...

Title say sit all. Anyone out there using their B2650/B3350 with a MMM yet? Most of the threads I have seen, everyone has them set up for winter. I was wondering how they are mowing since they have a floating deck design as opposed to the typical hanging deck I see on most tractors...

As the past weekend was coming to an end, and the wife and I were picking up the prunings from the days work, my wife turned to me and said "We need a chipper". That seems to be a clear message to me, buy a new toy! We produce a cargo van sized pile of small, ~1.5" or less prunings every...

I'm mostly a lurker here, but I thought it time to start asking some questions. Sometime in the next year, I'll be in the market for a new vehicle. Since I also need a trailer, I thought I should look for a trailer first, then look for vehicles which are capable of safetly towing it. Overall...
