I have one of these box scrapers that I bought 7 years ago for my little JD garden tractor. Tractor gone but the box scraper is still kicking around. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026SQOTK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I also have one of these for my SCUT Is it worth...

I'm going to break down this year and buy a tiller. I'm looking at Woods because it is who makes my blower and what my dealer carries. Question is, will the GC handle a 60 inch tiller or do I need to go with a 48? Manufacturer says I should use the 48. With the spacers on my rear wheels a 48...

I have a metal roof. I was up in the attic and saw snow. It is being driven under the roof cap in a couple of places. Not large. One area is about 16 inches and another is about 32 inches. Using the 16 inch on center trusses to measure. If snow is getting in I'm sure that rain gets in as well...

I need to pump fuel oil out of my tank in the basement. I have a pump that will do it, the issue is that I cannot get the hose for the pump to snake down into the tank from the fill pipe outside. The hose must go around a couple of 90 degree bends and the hose is getting caught on where the...

Has anyone here tried the Ratchet Rake Snow Edge on a stone driveway and on lawn? I have a set of edge tamers but these leave too much snow for my liking and they cause the bucket to ride up and over extremely wet heavy snow. It's been a really wet and sloppy winter so far far for me and the...

I have a fox den (red fox) somewhere near or on my property. I plan to look for it when the rain stops. Problem is that they have started chasing pets and since they have become a threat I need to do something about it. I could go out with my gun at dusk and wait for them to emerge, but I'd...

This is about my Massey Ferguson GC1725M, but I don't really think it is specific to this tractor. Asking here in order to maybe get more input. So this is weird to me. I have never seen cloudiness in the hydro fluid through the sight glass when checking fluid level either before or after...

Question for other CG owners. I have a GC1725M, but all the GCs should be similar. I was out looking at the front end of my tractor for another reason and noticed something that I have not noticed before, had no real reason to look at it. In any case this has to do with how the steering rod is...

Anyone know of any source of steering ram locks in the US or that ship to the US? All I can find are in the UK and I can't get any of them to contact me about shipping to the US. example: Ram Locks for construction and agricultural machinery

In another discussion I was looking for a trailer. In the end I have decided that I would be better off if I just build it myself. I'm going to use a Harbor Freight 1720# frame. There are many examples of doing this out there so I have a lot of inspiration. Also a lot of tips on issues and...

I am looking for a trailer and not having much luck. Maybe what I'm looking for does not exist. Thought I would ask here and see if anyone has seen what I'm looking for. What I'm looking for Needs to be enclosed, sides and back, so that I can haul small sized stone without it leaking out. This...

Hopefully I am putting this in the right place. There is a trove of experience here and thought that someone might have experience with this. I want to put in some solar powered flood lights, here is an example https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08FCK6G1F/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza. There are other...

Massey GC1725M, but I don't think that matters. Was doing my first yearly maintenance, oils, filters, etc. I was getting ready to do the front axle hydro fluid and it says I need thread sealing tape for the drain plugs. I thought I read something about this here but my searching turned up...

I have read many topics here on TBN about this. If you start a diesel then you should run it, work it to get it up to operating temp. This burns off any condensation you might have in the oil, HST. It will also burn off any diesel that may have migrated to the oil. I've also done my own research...

The area that I have to use my blower in has a lot of dips and bumps, hills and valleys. What I've been thinking is that it would be nice if the blower could automatically pivot to keep it even with the ground rather than level with the tractor to better deal with the uneven ground. I don't...

I have a Massey GC1725M. I think this is more general and not related to the make of tractor, but I could be wrong. When I am using my rear blower and I encounter a rise in the the ground under the blower the blower will be pushed up but only to a point. After this point the arms will not raise...

I have been having a he11 of a time hooking up the PTO for my blower to the tractor. Limited space and needing to pull the yoke back while pushing the shaft on. Anyway, I don't know in what threads I read it but a lot of people suggested using a bungee cord to take the weight of the shaft would...

Got a new set of shoes for my snowblower from Snow Blower Skids for all makes and models and spent the morning outside in the cold getting them put on. These are for a Woods SB54S blower. Had to be custom cut to fit the machine because the bolts are 8.5 inch on center. C.U.T. Series 3″ Long...

Almost 2 weeks ago I needed to go out an move snow and it was 20F outside. I had run the block heater for about an hour before going out but I was sure I should have run it longer and the tractor it would start hard due to the temp. I was surprised when after just 5 seconds on the glow plugs it...

My driveway is fairly steep and can get quite slick. It is stone/gravel but I have seen it with 2+ inches of ice if we get a heavy wet snow followed by a rapid drop in temperature. This happens all too frequently so I am concerned about traction under these conditions. First of all I have R1...

So, I read a few older threads about bucket level indicators. Just for information, I will be using my bucket for moving snow and I have a set of edge tamers for it to help me not move stone or lawn. To be honest, I don't see that I'll need an indicator. First is the fact the the top of the...

I have been looking for something for a while and I cannot seem to find anything suitable and was hoping someone has seen what I'm looking for. Who knows, maybe it does not exists. Anyway, I have a block heater on my tractor. The plug hangs out the left side of my hood. I am also going to add a...

I have a GC1725M (<15 hours on it) and I just ordered 2" wheel spacers and I was planning the work and where I will put the jack stands. Since the 50 hour maintenance requires removing the left rear wheel to check/clean the suction filter I figured I could look at video of others doing it to...

New to diesel tractors and I would like to understand this What is the significance of the amber section? the red? Are these just to tell me that I'm going over the RPM needed to run the PTO at 540 RPM?

I have a Woods SB54S Snowblower. Below is an image of the chute deflector I'm looking to change this out to something I can control from the seat of the tractor. It gets really windy here and I don't always have the option of blowing with the wind. Need to put the snow where I can put the...

Hi, I am looking for an ROPS mounted tool box for my MF GC1725M. I have found one at www(dot)bxpanded(dot)com(slash)ROPS-tool-box (sorry, won't let me post a link) I'm not sure if this will work on my tractor or not or if it will, which configuration to get. I can't put it on my right because...

I recently purchased a Massey Ferguson GC1725M. Removing the loader is giving me grief. The reason is that the loader support legs dig into the soft ground like a woman on stilettos. I can see why the instructions I've seen say to do this on a hard surface, unfortunately I don't have any hard...

Hey, The email said I should introduce myself, so here I am. Name is John and I live in central NY. I've been reading and finding useful information here since I started looking into purchasing a machine to better handle snow management. I ended up with a Massey Furguson GC1725M, partly...
