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

    Ridiculous🙄, you can do an awful lot of 3 quart oil changes for 500 bucks!! And check in air pressure in the tires? Any knucklehead can do that, these dealers do anything they can to get a dollar out of you

    Thats odd because MF has some of the highest settings for hydraulics I've seen,,my new 1723 tested 2000psi on the dot, spec Is around 1900 I believe. You do know you violated your warranty any problems they can/will deny you.

    There IS a fuel screw on top of the injector pump to add more fuel that is not accessible there's a tamper resistant plug you would have to remove. it very well could be the 25's are set higher but the serivice manual doesn't state any settings for that.

    GC Series - 23 or 25 HP from the same size engine: How do they do that?

    That's what I'm thinking also, the 25 models are running at a higher RPM at PTO speed = more horsepower you would think. I wouldn't be afraid on a 23 model to run RPMs/PTO speed a little faster I do it at work all the time never a problem with anything

    On the GC series subcompact from what I can see the difference in HP is RPMs only, as this engine is a mechanical injected DI design no electronics or computer management controls that I can see on my GC1723EB.

    Iseki engines

    Can we stay on topic men... The Iseki engine is a well-built design, ours in our GC has been nothing but outstanding I read a post once on another site a guy had over 10,000 hours in his GC 1.1L, he used it a lot running a generator.
