    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...

    Finally a massey owner

    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...

    Finally a massey owner

    Meant to post this last week but I finally recieved my gc1725mb last week with a tiller, rotary mower, box blade, forks and bxpanded thumb. Used it all day last Saturday and enjoyed it tremendously!! Used the backhoe some and the box blade. Got some good seat time with both. I can already tell...

    Correct my thinking...

    Buy the massey. I just bought the mf gc1725mb and love it! So glad I chose a massey. Plus, nothing is going to get cheaper. Even with prices high right now, I guarantee you next year it will be even higher. Inflation will continue especially if they pass a 3.5 trillion dollar grab bag. Even...

    I really want an RK 24, talk me out of it. Please.

    I just recieved my gc1725mb a few days ago and I am very pleased. Already put 9 hours on it digging a water line, fixing a driveway, digging out some gravel in front of my new pole barn for a concrete apron, making a swale behind barn for water runoff from the field. I am thoroughly enjoying...

    I really want an RK 24, talk me out of it. Please.

    Blacktruck, I too looked for about a year and the rk24, gc1725mb, and ls mt125 were my finalists and I just ordered the massey gc1725mb last week. For me it came down to quality and ease of use meaning how easily is it to swap out backhoe and attachments. I did not want to be taking the 3 point...

Front sway bar package is fine but rear sway bar package is opened/torn and no sway bar in it!! Just the hardware, lol. Luckily helwig sent me a new one and just requested...

    Buying Advice Buying backhoe with the tractor upfront.

    Well It looks like you have a cab tractor that I am guessing cost more than $30,000. You probably have a lot of implements and attachments as well. Plus upkeep costs and fuel and garage space wasted. You could have saved all that money and just hired someone to maintain your property for cheaper...

    mmm or rear finish mower

    Sorry for the long absence. I lost my account but finally figured out how to get back in. No I have not got a tractor yet. Going to check one other dealer near me on a gc1725mb to see if he has one in stock. There are a couple gc1723eb tractors in stock near me so I might end up buying one of...

    2515R questions

    Branson guys, can you answer some questions for me? I have a Branson dealer 7 miles from me and as I was driving home from work I noticed they had a new tractor on their lot. It was a 2515R. So I stopped and took a look. They were closing so I didn't stay too long but will stop in some other...

    LS or Massey sub and small compacts

    Can any of you mt225s or Mt225e owners or Massey 1700 series owners tell me how you like your model so far? I will be looking at the 225s and 225e in a couple of days and just looked at a mf1826, which they told me was the new 1700 series with an iseki engine, and was just wondering how you guys...

    B65 backhoe issues on 2020 models?

    I can do without getting a mower attachment as I have a 54inch rider but it just takes forever and not the best cut. Here is some pics of my property . About 3 acres of yard and I have a creek inside that wood line and I own another 2 acres with that wood line and creek and a little farther into...

    mmm or rear finish mower

    I am looking to possibly buy a gc1725mb and was wondering if I should get the mmm or a rear finish mower. I have a husqvarna 54 inch mower and can use it around the house. I have about 3 acres I mow, mostly wide open.
