Nice, where does one get Versa Turf tires? Did you get new rims?

The GC1723EB I signed for yesterday was actually able to rev up to the 3 on the tachometer, past the 2.6k dot. Is that normal?

I've been looking at tractors every spring, for 4 years for something to use on our 5 acres (1 acre lawn, 2 acre field, 2 acre woods.) I had my eye on the Masseys all along, and finally am making enough and got motivated enough to buy due to the inventory shortages everywhere. This dealer was...

Yeah I think that's probably right. Here's another dealer who says at the 2:30 mark that it can be used together.

This very new video shows both attached but at the 4:35 minute mark, the dealer comments that the backhoe must be removed for use. I wonder if it can really be used at the same time like your GC1720 + CB65

Thanks; Ohio Ag's unit on the lot has the new BH2720 backhoe so I'll have to find out if that's compatible with the mower. They have 2 actually-- and they're the only dealer that has anything in stock. The other Massey dealers I spoke to said September or worse. The other brands said they don't...

I'm curious how everyone feels about their GC1700 series tractors' reliability and parts cost? I watched a video of someone with 500 hours and the backhoe mounts and pin holes were already loosened/rounded out beyond repair, and several other issues with the steel and frame components. I've...

I see-- did you get the bucket issue fixed? By the way, what model backhoe do you have?

Wish I could but the SCUT is my limit-- so I'll have to make the best of the class capabilities.

Hi all, I am trying to narrow down what to buy. I thought for sure I would end up with a Kubota BX until I watched Tractor Tim's video on the comparison of lifting capabilities between the two. But that was a while ago. Have there been any updates to bring the BX more in line with the...

Hi all, I was seriously looking at a BX until I watched Tractor Tim's video in which the John Deere 1025R was able to lift vastly more weight than a BX 2680 (and I would be going 1 step down with the BX23s) That said, I would love to make a Kubota work but don't want to limit myself...

Great to hear. I'm on 5 flat acres, 1 of yard, 2 of field, 2 of woods, and have been scraping by with borrowed equipment so I think it's time. I know the Masseys are supposedly not the best on ergonomics. But it probably beats a borrowed 1950s Farmall. I watched a video of the seat switching...

I will have to check out Maibach; thanks for the tip! The Deere is indeed about $3k more if I want the mower. I believe the BX is maybe a little closer in price, but has less HP and loader capacity. (Watched a few startling videos by Tractor Tim that showed the disparity.) I guess the Massey is...

Wow, thanks so much for the quick response and helpful info. I think I can live with doing it that way. The mower will be for a straight, flat field, so no worries at all on the backhoe getting in the way. By the way, greetings from a fellow Ohioan. I am up by Lake Erie and considering buying...

I am about to pull the trigger on a Massey, or so I thought-- but is it true that the mid mount mower cannot be used with the backhoe attached? I know the BX and Deere can. I plan to use the backhoe as ballast for the loader and really don't know if I like the idea of taking it off every time...
