Loader New GC1723e

[MoMower]

Stoked! Sold my 2014 GC1710, yesterday, picked this one up today. Didn’t have much time to screw around with it but feels more refined from the operator seat.

The 1710 gave me good service and left with 595 hours on it with zero breakdowns, hopefully the new one will perform the same.

Got it with a 60” mmm and SSQA forks.

Forgot Murphy...

Monday, doing the last job with the 1710, rolling a big stump, it flops back and takes out the left headlight and front grille, dents the hood....

I invented new words!...lol

Congrats on your new tractor!

I really like my SSQA forks I bet you will to.

 

[Snobdds]

Boy that new grill is huge...

That is pallet forks isn't it?

Yes, they were under it for the ride home.

I stopped to get some service supplies for my gc1710... They had a new 1723 sitting at the door talking dirty to me! Wife would kill me if I traded in my 2016 250hr machine for that one tho. I already have the DL95 and CB65 so there no benefit from the implements but that cockpit was absolutely beautifully redone/laid out

I agree.. It will be a force to be reckoned with I think..

 

[MoMower]

That’s why I did it, better backhoe, loader, SSQA and drive over deck.

You won't be disappointed. The cb65 and dl95 are fantastic upgrades over the dl100 and cb05. The more you use them the more you'll love them

Did find a first world problem, complaint to make.

Due to the loader control location on the new machines, my right calf hits the 3 point lift lever and it’s not as easy to get on from the right side of the machine.

Not a big deal and wouldn’t change the loader joystick back. Just an observation.

MoMower, can you measure the height to the ROPS on your GC1723E and post.

I can't find any info on it and I want to make sure it will fit through my garage doors.

Thanks

 

[MoMower]

I can, but it’ll be a bit, I take the top half off in summer. They do fold though.

On the GC1723/25 I do believe the ROPS on the TL is shorter and doesn't fold. On the TLB the ROPS is taller and folds.

I have the TLB: ROPS Folded is 63in, ROPS in position is 84in.

I am pretty sure the TL version ROPS will fit fine under a standard 7' garage door, the TLB has to be folded, mine does at least.

Thanks for the replys,

I'm going to assume that the fixed ROPS on the GC1723E will fit thru a 7' garage door. It would'nt make sense not too.

I have the 1723E without the backhoe and fixed ROPS. It is about 6'-4" high. It fits in my shop with double swing doors and a height of 78". I can provide a better measurement this evening if you need.

I have the GC1705 and it fits in my garage with the 7foot door, I also have a Sunshade on it so it痴 a bit taller and it still fits, just make sure the door is open all the way.

Thank you for the comments,

My garage door opening is 76", so it will be a very tight fit.
