2015 GC1710 Changes

[madhatter]

Going to be trading in my beloved GC2310 on a 2015 GC1710 or GC1720. I can't help but notice, the 2015 seems "beefier" and has much better loader and backhoe pins, loader hydraulic hoses (hidden in frame ), backhoe bucket replaceable teeth and a few other refinements than the 2013/14 model year. Can anyone confirm this ?

I can't speak for the backhoe, but the loader has been improved in several ways you mentioned as well as improved lift capacity. I wonder if there are any other refinements internally as well.

Seems like it is the 2015 model, as pictures of the 2014 model don't seem to show these improvements. Just curious if anyone has any info.

So as it turns out the early 2015's still had the dl100 loader.The late 2015's have the new dl95 loader. Too be more confusing there are 2015's with the new dl95 loader but older backhoe but some with the new dl95 loader loader AND new cb65 backhoe. ��

I do prefer the new loader and backhoe for sure. Hidden hoses,recessed grease zerks,bigger cylynders....
