    Replacing fuel hoses on GC1715

    Hey all. I made a bonehead mistake the other day. I was cutting down a hedge tree that was growing in the middle of some junipers and using my 2017 gc1715 to tug out the branches as I cut them off. At the end of the day I left my tractor back there and walked to the house. That was three days...

    Modifying a rotary mower

    I have a MF GC1715 and I just picked up a 60" King Kutter rotary mower. Got it pretty cheap @ $500. In very respectable/serviceable condition. Ran it awhile to cut some overgrown pasture grass and small saplings and it works fine. However, it is quite obviously not made for a tractor this size...

    How to approach lawn renovation

    Hey all, I'm looking for advice on lawn renovation. My side and backyard have been neglected for about 2 years during some bigger DIY landscaping projects and it's time to get things right. There's about 20,000 sq ft to do. Much of it is very bumpy, uneven, and overrun with weeds from the 2...

    New vs used tiller

    I've got a Massey GC1715, 25 hp with just under 20 PTO hp. I'm ready to upgrade from a rear tine walk-behind tiller to a 3 point tiller. Main uses are going to be two small food plots in heavy clay soil and a veggie garden in a more reasonable soil. I'm looking in the 48-54" range. I've got to...

    Realistic finish mower size - GC1715

    So I'm in the midst of the debate between a 3 pt finish mower and the belly mower for the tractor I'm buying. Dealer is selling me the belly mower at cost, or I can get a Tar River RFM for about $1100 less. Belly mower is 60", RFM is 57.5". I also have a 50" zero turn mower that I'm keeping...

    Financing fees

    I went to a dealer on Saturday morning to check out GC1705 tractors. All they had left were the 1715s, but I think he put together a pretty great package: Tractor/loader: $12,000 60" belly mower deck: $2,650 48" box blade: $895 Sales tax: $1,115.64 Total: $16,610.64 My question is on the...

    Looking at Massey GC - new vs used, 1705 vs 1715

    Hey folks, I'm hoping to join the scut club some time in the next few weeks. I've pretty much narrowed down my search to the Massey GC1705. Looking at probably buying from Bruno's, no local dealer can touch the price, then there's the issue of sales tax - almost 10% here. Price I'm getting...
