I am curious if anyone knows, the tires on the GC1723 aren't that big, they are only 26x12-12. How much weight could that add?
It’s around 90lbs per side with rim Gaurd

Not sure how easy it is to change your buckets, but I have a quick attach coupler on my BH. they make a ball hitch adapter you can buy so I can just attach it to the BH and use anytime. Example here.Is there a clever way to tow a log splitter with a 2" ball about with the BH still attached?
Rim Guard weighs about 11#/gallon and according to this chart the tires will hold about 11 gallons so that is and about 120# on each wheel.I am curious if anyone knows, the tires on the GC1723 aren't that big, they are only 26x12-12. How much weight could that add?
I've seen a receiver hitch welded to the side of the boom. I wouldn't tow with ball attached to the bucket.Is there a clever way to tow a log splitter with a 2" ball about with the BH still attached?
Sorry, what is MMM?
Sorry to say, but don't expect to be able to dig out 24" stumps. About 12" has been my largest and it took a while. And it was years dead.I have multiple 24" stumps so hope I can remove them without renting equipment that would be nice.
I have no implements planned to use the 3PH so Ill evaluate whether the BH becomes an asset or a liability with experience I guess.
Guess I need to sleep on the filled tires thing.
Check with your dealer regarding any potential warranty issues and get their reply in writing. You could be adding stress to the axle or transmission.Any reason not go with widest spacers (3")? Not worried about fitting between trees with 6" extra width.
I contacted my dealer about adding spacers, their response was that MF didn't have them for my tractor. I assumed by the reply and the tone that they would not put them on and more than likely it would give me warranty issues if something happens.

Not only is it ballast, but when you get stuck in the snow, you can lift the rear wheels in order to push more snow under them and eliminate the need to tow it out.Thought about filled tires but concerned about their weight if I need to take them off for whatever reason. Is this a valid concern?
I have looked at the ratchet rake and love the idea that is all I need! Do you know if it can be attached with a piranha bar or similar installed or does that have to be removed to use the rake?
Def getting the BH. Its only 4k extra on the GCs. No brainer. Plus itll be extra ballast.
