There is no farmer. The place is boarded up and has been vacant for years. There are no occupied dwellings within miles of the place. In fact, releasing mice near abandoned buildings is not only legal, it is recommended by the Humane Society.

I picked up two new handguns and a Case Club case to take to the range. I already had the CZ P-01. The Walther P22 and Springfield XD-E are new.

My Countyline Landscape Rake from Tractor Supply Store has a Tarter USA label on it.

I only own one pistol, a CZ P-01, and wanted to get another one. I like hammer fired DA/SA pistols and found a recently discontinued Springfield XD-E in stock at my local gun store. I actually went in to buy a Walther P22 and ended up with both. I also bought a pistol hard case on Amazon by Case...

From what I've read on various forums, the backhoe swings in one direction faster than the other direction. They are saying that some valve needs to be changed.

Agco mailed out a service and support letter to owners of tractors with the BH2720 backhoe. A copy of the letter is attached.

My list is stuff that I purchased over the last two years of ownership. I made my tool box out of an ammo can from Harbor Freight. I had to buy a PTO shaft because I cut the one for my tiller too short. My dealer is 2-1/2 hours away and they charged me to pick up the tractor to install the third...

Just giving people a heads up and how much you can end up spending on these toys.

I bought this for my son in law and he loves it. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/royal-gourmet-tailgate-grill-combo-griddle-gd4002t

I changed the oil and filter on my GC1723 today. Then I changed the fuel filter. What a pain. I don't have the mid mount mower, so the linkage that connects to the mower deck needed to be lowered to get access to the fuel filter. Well the knob that locks that linkage in the up position was...

They say at 100% load the generator will use 5 gallons per hour. So that would equate to about 2 days. They also say it may overheat and may shut down to cool off.

We just had a Generac propane generator installed to replace our portable gasoline Honda unit. We wanted something that would run our well, oil burner, fridge and freezer. It is supposed to run 4-5 days at 25% load off of the 250 gallon propane tank.

Our propane company delivered a new tank for our generator and their truck mounted crane did not have enough reach to get it into position. I used my GC1723 and pallet forks to move the tank for them. Then I backfilled the trench they dug for the gas line with my bucket. Without the GC1723 I...

My OEM Massey third function kit mounts horizontally on the loader cross member. The connectors on the tractor side are both male and on the grapple they are both female.

I put down cheap landscape fabric for the walkways and covered it with wood chips. Then I used cheap landscape fabric in the beds and used a propane torch to burn holes in it for the plants. So far so good. Very few if any weeds.

I get free woods chips from my tree guy and use them around my fruit trees. The trees are 3 year old bare root apple, peach and plum trees. They seemed to be struggling until I started adding the wood chips around them. This year they seem better than ever. I keep the chips a few inches away...

Any tractor with a backhoe is what they said to me.

My dealer filled my rear tires with Rimguard on my little Massey GC1723. They said they automatically fill the rear tires with it on any tractor that has a backhoe.

I just built some wooden shelves to hold my attachments. I have the 3 point attachments on the ground and the front attachments on the shelves. I put a rollup tarp to keep them out of the weather.

Finally finished extending my drainage trench. Just need to add the gravel and pipes.

Ordered one this week. I also have their sentinel skid plate and side step. Very happy with their products and their service is second to none.

Burning stumps, brush and rounds from a fallen tree. Using my Homestead Implements grapple to move everything to the burn pile. What a fantastic attachment.

I suggest expanded metal in 11 gauge steel (~1/8″).

Finished priming and painting my no weld grill/brush guard. Sprayed painted it with grey primer and then grey Massey Ferguson spray paint. Made this out of 1/2" threaded rods and scrap chain link fence pipes. I got the grill emblem off of Ebay.

Here's a link to the owners manual. https://www.mikestools.com/ownersmanuals/28-303.pdf

The PTO shield on my new tiller has no grease zerk for the internal plastic bearings on the shield. So I bought this from Lock-n-lube to be able to get grease into places that have no grease zerk.

I was originally going to buy the Milwaukee. I like their tools, but I caught the Dewalt on sale. And I have other Dewalt tools that use the same batteries. I still use my manual grease gun with a pinpoint tip to lube my PTO safety shield cover bearings. The shields don't have a grease zerk...

I tried using my manual grease gun, but between the loader and the backhoe it was just much easier and faster to use the battery powered gun. There are just too many grease fittings to do manually in my opinion. I bought the Dewalt because I have other Dewalt tools that use the same battery.

Tractor Supply grease and a Dewalt grease gun.

We have a family of foxes living in an abandoned pickers cabin on our property in Highland, NY. The mother and 4 kits. I hung a trail camera inside to get some video of them. Warning, the video is about 10 minutes long.

Yes, stones and roots.

First time using the Oregon Farm and Ranch 60 inch tiller. This is the second pass with the back lid down. Very muddy, but the GC1723 handled the 60 inch tiller with no issues.

My daughter-in-law got me this book for my birthday. Looking forward to reading it.

Thanks. We pulled out the low voltage ones and put in these which are 110-120 volts. They are much brighter than the low voltage ones.

I used just one fork to dig a shallow trench to bury some landscape lighting wires. Worked out very well. Just need to be careful not to dig in too deep.

I have a small gas powered push type tiller that is almost impossible to start and impossible to hold onto when it gets going. This PTO powered tiller should be hands down better than what I've been using. My neighbor already asked to borrow it. lol

Exactly why I bought these. The turnbuckles were always coming loose and my implement would bang back and forth.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B59Y7TKC?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

I added these telescoping stabilizers to my 3 point. The are made for Kubota BX, but they fit the Massey GC series tractors. They adjust very easily, but I think the original turnbuckles allow for more fine tuning than these. I bought them on Amazon for $120.

My lovely wife said yes and let me buy a tiller. Yeah!!!

So sorry for your loss.

It’s the hardest thing to have to say god bye to a beloved pet. They truly are members of our families.

Thank you.

It never gets any easier. Last night we said goodbye to Tinkerbell. Our chocolate lab who we rescued from Japan. She was such a good dog. She was almost 14. She will be missed.

My neighbor borrowed my GC1723 to dig a trench to put in a drain in his yard. Only took about one hour to dig this trench. What an awesome machine.

I've been working on a no weld brush guard. I used 1/2" threaded rods and scrap chain link fence top rails. Inside each pipe is a captive washer at both ends, held in place with nuts on each side of the washers, to keep the pipes centered on the threaded rods. I attached the expanded metal...

I've use this pump to transfer fuel from my 5 gallon tanks to my tractor. Works great! Battery Operated Liquid Transfer Pump

I have the Homestead Implements Sub Compact Independence Series grapple on a Massey GC1723. It only weighs 190 lbs. and the specifications are almost identical to the Wicked 55 from EA. The price was better and so was the lead time on the Homestead. Shipping was also free. I have pulled small...

I picked this book up about Dick Proenneke, after seeing the PBS special about his life in the Alaska wilderness. It reads like a diary. It's something I would have loved to have experienced when I was younger.

Check out Homestead Implements grapples. They are almost identical to the EA grapples, but slightly less expensive and free shipping. Their 55" is the smallest size they offer for tractors from 25 HP to 55 HP. They have two versions. The Pinnacle line is their deluxe version and then they have a...

Made two stops today, so when I put the grapple on my shelf it cannot fall over like it did the last time. This is a Homestead Implements grapple that has flats on the side ends, so it can stand up by itself, but if you push too much when attaching it, you can push it right over.

I built a small, 12 t x 16 ft lean to attached to one of my sheds and built shelves in it for my implements. I also hung tarps that I can roll up to keep the weather out. I have a small subcompact tractor that also fits inside.

My homemade bucket level indicator. I used a 36" x 1/4" aluminum rod from Lowes and assorted hardware. I did have to make a bracket out of some scrap aluminum for the rod to pivot on at the bottom connection point.

Not sure what you are looking for, but this may help. Kubota Super UTD2 subbed for Permatran 821xl

Got two additional magazines delivered today for my CZ P-01. Got them for about half price on Ebay and they are genuine Mec-Gar magazines. Also ordered a MAKERSHOT Speedloader.

My 40 year old Dewalt radial arm saw. Love that saw.

I keep my tractor in an unheated lean to, with a trickle charger attached to the battery. No block heater. When I want to start it, I turn the key to the glow plug position for about 10 seconds and then start it. If it doesn't start I do the glow plugs for another 10 seconds. It always starts on...

Thank you.

Thank you. Not large, but it was wrapped completely around my spine and was putting pressure on my spinal cord. The back surgeon said I was millimeters away from being paralyzed from the waist down if it was not removed. I was very lucky that they found it in time.

Hold my beer. I had severe back pain for 2 years and my asshat doctor and asshat local emergency room doctors put me on muscle relaxers and pain killers....for 2 years. Got worse and worse and then a gastroenterologist that I went to ordered a cat scan with contrast and found a tumor on my...

Good advice ray66v. I only need to lift the 3 point to raise the auger off the ground a little when moving the tractor. The PTO would be off until I lower the auger and start drilling again.Thanks.

I needed more 3 point lift on my GC1723 for my Tractor Supply post hole digger, with the 4 foot long augers. The augers were dragging on the ground a little. So I swapped out the original side lift arms for two Tractor Supply lift arms that are adjustable and only $28.00 each. They are...

Thank you for your service. I bought the left side step and it made a world of difference getting onto the tractor. Well worth the price.

I got my carry permit about 6 years ago. I have a CZ P-01 which is a 9mm, double action/single action, hammer fired pistol. It's a very safe carry gun. Much safer than a striker fired pistol in my opinion. When you are holstering it, your thumb can be on the hammer and you know right away, if...

I love my Dewalt grease gun. Saves a ton of effort and time to grease up my little Massey GC1723.

Have you considered the Massey 1800E models?

I bought the 5 ft. landscape rake from Tractor Supply and it has a Tartar USA label on it. Seems very well built and works great so far, but the wheel kit was crazy expensive. $400.00 for the wheel kit. I also ordered touch up spray paint from the Tartar USA parts department, which matches...

My Open Water SCUBA Instructor exam, at Dutch Springs PA. It was in May and the water temperature was below 50 degrees. We were in the water for hours with just wet suits on. When I came out of the water my chest was purple. I thought it was dye from the wet suit. It turned out that it was blood...

Got a new kydex, light bearing, holster from Craft holsters for my CZ P-01 with the Olight Baldr S. Very nicely made, great retention, but it is the most uncomfortable IWB holster ever. Not sure why it has a Falco sticker on it. I guess Craft Holsters and Falco are related somehow. I prefer my...

My dealer included a 60" Woods box scraper with my GC1723 when I bought it. It works fine as long as I don't try to get too aggressive with it. I never don't put the scarifiers in their lowest position. The 54" Woods weighs 486 lbs. The 60" weighs 514 lbs. So weight is not really a...

Very true. My neighbor uses mine more than I do. He's a lot better with the backhoe than I am as well. lol

I have 2-1/2 acres, mostly wooded, with a 400 foot long gravel driveway. The little grass I have I mow with a Cub Cadet XT1 with a 46" deck. I bought a Massey GC1723TLB with the backhoe and loader and use it almost every day, to grade areas of my property, dress up the gravel driveway, remove...

The scopes didn't really improve the accuracy. I was getting 1-1/2 to 2" groups at 7 yards, But the rifles look a lot cooler now. And with my 69 year old eyes the scopes help a lot. lol

Got my picatinny rails today to add bipods to my Red Ryders. lol

I took that bipod off and put the light on the side of the hand grip. The new bipod folds forward towards the muzzle and mounts on a picatinny rail under the hand grip.

I put a spreadsheet together to see what the actual total cost of my Savage MSR Recon was. All I did was purchase off the shelf items. Nothing special or top of the line. Just average stuff one would want on a budget build. I had to laugh when I was done. My $800 rifle ended up costing me...

Maybe you should have grabbed one. I actually went back to Walmart and picked up one for my granddaughter. They had this one on sale for $29.96 and it has the compass and sundial in the butt stock. I checked it today and the new price at Walmart, if they even have any left, is $59.97. I ordered...

I just bought another one for my granddaughter. Walmart has an exclusive model with the compass and sundial for $30. Had to get it for her.

A Christmas gift to myself. I added a scope to it too. And I didn't shoot my eye out yet. lol

Bought myself a Christmas present. An Olight Baldr S 800 lumen weapon light with a green laser for my CZ P-01. I also ordered an IWB holster to accommodate the gun with the light attached.

Bought a Craftsman cabinet for my little tractor shed to hold all my tools and other stuff. I had things all over the floor and it got a little out of control. Now it's getting organized.

Uh, I'd like to sit and watch TV too.

Tractor Supply Store has one for $249.00 and it comes with a set of bushings that would be $45.00 if you had to buy them separately. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/agknx-cat-1-quick-hitch-with-adaptor-and-one-set-of-bushing-25-005?cm_vc=-10005#

I cut an old oil tank in half and moved it to my metal scrap pile with my Homestead Implements grapple. I love this grapple.

Actually, my 2021 Masey GC1723 label says it's made in Indonesia. No major issues with it except one. The dealer had to change the pressure relief valve on the backhoe control panel. Took a few minutes to fix the problem. I also considered Kioti and Kubota, but there are no dealers close to me...

This chart may help. My Massey GC1723 has 3/8" poppet style which I believe are also called Pioneer. https://homesteadimplements.com/content/Assembly Instructions/How to Measure Your Hydraulic Couplers.pdf

I had the dealer install the OEM Massey third function kit. It was very expensive to say the least. $1100 for the kit and $900 for the dealer to install it. I can't tell you where the power beyond port is. I have no clue. Sorry.

We heat with oil and just filled up our tank. We locked in the price earlier this year at $4.99 a gallon. We got 216.3 gallons delivered and it was $1,086.27 Simply ridiculous.

I looked at all of those 4 colors, but went with red. Mostly because I liked the dealer, the price and the reviews on the Massey 1700 series. My house sits on a 2-1/2 acre, heavily wooded lot, with a 400 foot long gravel driveway that needs constant maintenance. My subcompact with a box blade...

I replaced some old landscape lights and wanted to bury the wire for the new lights. I used one pallet fork to dig a shallow trench. Worked great.

I agree. I should have backed up a little to straighten out the auger. I need to practice with it. First time using it was a little daunting.

My 1970 Case XX and my 2021 Cutco hunting knife. Both with homemade danglers made from an old belt.

I hooked up the Tractor Supply CountyLine Post Hole Digger today to see if the 4 FT. long augers are too long for a GC1723 3 point hitch. The 4 FT. long augers barely clear the ground with the 3 point in the highest position. I moved the lift pin on the main beam of the post hole digger to the...

Tractor Supply Stores had 15% off for Veterans Day. My son bought me the 6" Countyline auger for my post hole digger to complete my set. I now have the 6", 9" and the 12" augers. Now I just have to buy the fence posts and start digging holes. We are putting in a 250 foot long split rail fence as...

Everything on my Massey GC1723 is metric, so I bought two Pittsburgh Pro metric socket sets from Harbor Freight. I don't see anything subpar about these tools. $27.99 for the 1/2" drive set and $23.99 for the 3/8" drive set. How could you go wrong with those prices?

How are the shanks supposed to be held in place on that box blade? I don't see any tabs for the locking pins that hold the shanks in place to go into.

I'm not certain how much weight my setup can safely lift, but my son and I were hanging from it at the same time and we weigh just over 400 lbs. together. I will probably test it with my Woods 5 foot box scraper which weighs around 500 lbs. I did add rafter hangers to the roof rafters before I...

I have a Massey GC1723 which is only 22.5 hp and I am using a Homestead Implements subcompact grapple. The grapple weighs 190 lbs. and my loader is rated to lift 900 lbs. So I still can lift around 700 lbs. So far I've been able to lift logs as wide as the grapple and around 12 to 15 inches in...

I just bought a Harbor Freight hoist and so far it seems fine. Even with my low ceiling I was able to move and store my post hole digger, but I can see many other useful applications for it. A word of warning. The 10 ft. Unistrut track, hanging brackets and roller trolleys cost more than the...

Lately I've been using my grapple the most and my post hole digger not at all. I plan to use the post hole digger to put a fence in this coming spring.

I have a GC1723 and bought a Homestead Implements Independence model grapple for subcompact tractors. It has very similar specifications to the Wicked 55 grapple for half the price. Same steel, same size, etc,. and free shipping to anywhere in the continental US. It only weighs 190 lbs. So you...

Not sure if this will help, but worth a try I guess.

I installed a Harbor Freight 880 lb. hoist in my little tractor shed. Now, even with the low ceiling, I was able to move my post hole digger very easily and store it out of the way and out of the weather. I was also able to back my tractor into the shed and rotate the backhoe to one side, so...

I moved my tool box to the right side of my tractor and installed the Retail Rems step on the left side. This step is a game changer for us older guys. Makes it a lot easier to climb up onto the operator's station.

No auger was included. They are about $200 each.

No auger was included. They are about $200 each.

Bought a Tractor Supply Store (CountyLine)post hole digger and started assembling it. My neighbor and I are going to be planting some privacy Arborvitae along our property line. I bought with it the 9-inch and 12-inch augers.

I bought a Homestead Implements grapple and had my dealer install the Massey Ferguson OEM 3rd Function kit on my GC1723. Now I'm waiting for them to bring the tractor back to me.

I added a 12 x 16 lean to attached to one of my sheds and then added some shelves to hold attachments. I also added a roll up tarp to keep the weather off the implements.

Jack stud? Where and why? This entire shelving frame is 2x6's lag bolted to 4x4's and covered with 3/4" plywood. I don't really see a need for jack studs, but thanks for the suggestion.

While my tractor is in the shop getting the third function installed, I finished sheathing and shingling the roof and put up the facia boards and a gutter on my little tractor lean to. No one had the same color shingles in stock that are on the shed roof, so I had to buy what they had in stock.

I have a small lean to on the side of one of my sheds where I store my tractor and needed a way to store my implements. So I built some shelves where I can leave the 3 point implements on the ground for easy hookup and the front attachments go on the shelves. I also got my grapple delivered...

Ammo can from Harbor Freight and some Massey red spray paint and a decal off of Ebay. Two "L" brackets bolted to the existing holes on the loader arms.

Looks great! Nice location. I have a pond behind my fire pit, but it is all dried up now from lack of rain.

Yes, the holes are supposed to make it smokeless. It seems that it works when the fire is really going, but starts to smoke more as it dies down.

Still wondering about that myself. lol

Thank you.

I finally finished my DIY fire pit. Three days of work, in sweltering heat, but finally got it done. Tonight I lit a fire, had a couple of beers and reminisced of days gone by. The holes in the fire ring are supposed to make it smokeless. The jury is still out on that. Glad I own a little Massey...

I removed yards of soil to level a spot next to my grill/bbq patio to put in a gravel pad for my picnic table and a fire pit. No way I could have done any of this without my GC1723. Update. Almost done.

Installed my Bxpanded quick attach for my GC1723 backhoe. This is a game changer. Expensive, but well worth it. Takes less than a minute to change from the bucket to the ripper tooth.

My Terävä Jääkäripuukko 110 from www.varusteleka.com

Well it kind of worked. I needed a stand for my landscape rake so I bought a bolt on trailer jack stand. It is a little too long to fold up completely, but it does stay put when it's in the up position. It sure makes hooking it up easier because I can move the rake around, up and down with ease.

GC1723 with BH2720 backhoe tackling a large tree stump.

My solution for tying up the hydraulic hoses when using the 3 point. I tie wrapped two rings to the hoses and then just hang them with a "J" hook to the back of the seat frame. Simple, quick and neat.

I have osage orange trees on m property and have gotten flats on my riding mower and bicycles. No flats on my Massey GC1723 yet. I bought this stuff which worked great on the riding mower tires and the bicycles...

It's caused by grabbing the top bar to pull yourself up onto the platform. I think either me or my neighbor got a little too aggressive climbing on and off the backhoe. We've been using it almost every day lately.

Looks like the previous model CB65 backhoe had a different mounting bracket.

My Massey GC1723EB backhoe control panel anchor tabs snapped off. This is a simple fix. Two Stanley "L" brackets, a couple of bolts and some Massey red spray paint from Tractor Supply. I cut off the corners on the "L" brackets so they would not rub on the hydraulic hoses. The existing bolts on...

I added the lock-n-lube lock on fitting and I also bought the right angle lock-n-lube fitting for it.

For around $229 you can get the Dewalt 20v grease gun. Believe me, once you use one, you'll wonder why you didn't buy it sooner.

I cleared a patch of woods next to my kitchen door to put in a little patio for my BBQ and new flat top grill I got for father's day. I only used the stock bucket which did a great job of scraping away the undergrowth. Then a little work with the landscape rake. If it looks a little lopsided it...

The clearance under the wheels wasn't enough at first to remove the wheels to change the wheel hieght with the bushings they give you. So I adjusted my top link and that solved the problem. To be honest there is barely an inch clearance under the wheels when the three point if fully raised. It's...

I've been trying out my Tractor Supply quick hitch and Countyline 60" landscape rake, also from Tractor Supply. The landscape rake is actually made by Tartar USA. The wheel kit for the rake is a must have because it's nearly impossible to keep the three point hitch at the height you want on...

I used just one pallet fork on my GC1723 to dig a trench to bury some landscape lighting wires. Now I just need to spread a little more gravel to clean up the walkway.

Installed the Bxpanded ripper tooth. Also installed the Retailrems skid plate.

continentalfreightshippers.com is registered to an owner in Reykjavik, Iceland. I would say this is a scam. Whois continentalfreightshippers.com

I ordered the Bxpanded ripper tooth for my GC1723 backhoe and also ordered the Sentinel skid plate from Retail Rems that protects the hydrostatic transmission fan and the hydraulic filter.

Used the pallet forks and a 25 ft skidding chain to move some large stumps to the burn pile. I am amazed at the power of these little GC1723's.

The mechanic just changed all the hydraulic connectors to the backhoe. Backhoe worked for about 10 minutes and stopped again. Next we took the entire backhoe valve block out and took the pressure relief valve apart. It apparently is defective. It hangs up and gets stuck inside the valve body...

Update on my leaky GC1723 backhoe hydraulic coupler. After I fixed the leaky coupler, I drained off a little hydraulic fluid until the sight glass showed a line about halfway up the glass. I then slowly added a little more fluid until the line in the sight glass was just about at the top. The...

Added a $6 Ebay decal to my ammo can toolbox. What do you think?

Question for the group. My backhoe just stopped working. I noticed hydraulic fluid squirting out of one of the fittings. So I tightened the fitting and bought some AGCO hydraulic fluid to put in the machine. I could not for the life of me see any change in the sight glass while I was filling it...

I'm not certain, but you may only need to adjust your reverse pedal. Check out this video.

When I was a kid visiting my uncle's farm, they had a two seater outhouse. I was in their one day and my Aunt Lilly came in and sat down next to me. I was mortified. lol

Working on removing two tree stumps with my GC1723 that are next to my driveway. It is going very, very slow. These roots and rocks are huge.

After we moved into our current home we found an abandoned cabin in the woods on our property. We asked some neighbors about it and they said it was a picker's cabin that housed farm workers when our property was a working apple farm in the 1920's. We've been planning to renovate it and turn it...

I gave up on my manual grease gun and bought the Dewalt cordless grease gun kit. I also bought two lock and lube tips for it. A right angle tip and the locking straight tip. This thing works great!

Finally got my backhoe thumb from Bxpanded. Only took a few minutes to install it, but it took a few months to actually get it. I ordered it back in November.

My first hunting knife, a Case XX that I bought in 1970. It still looks like new because it's been sitting in my night stand for about the last 50 years, lol.

I got a .50 cal ammo can from Harbor Freight and hung it on 2 heavy "L" brackets using the existing holes on my loader arm bracket. Spray painted it with Massey Ferguson red to match my little GC1723. Holds a ton of stuff and yes it clears the front tire with room to spare. The only problem I...

Yes, I will need to lower the rops. I could only get 6'8" clearance and still have enough of a slope to shed water.

I used 2x6's for roof rafters and half inch plywood sheathing. It should handle any snow load we ever get in NY. I also added bracing to the posts. I had to stop work though. My framing nailer died when I was sheathing the roof. Total cost so far is $384.00, but I am getting the plywood for the...

I'm building a 12 x 16 lean to roof attached to one of my yard sheds. I need a place to park my CG1723 when the snow comes. I dug the post holes with the backhoe.

A little bit of snow and then it melted. We are having temperatures in the mid to high 40's in the NY Hudson Valley.

My little 2-1/2 acre property. Sunrise in Highland NY.

Today I removed the backhoe and hooked up my Woods box scraper. I used the box scraper to pull all the grass off the path to my house from my parking area and then put down new gravel. The box scraper worked great. I used the scarifiers to pull up the grass and then went over the path again...

My first tractor arrived last month. I bought the GC1723 with the backhoe. The first thing I added was an LED light bar to the ROPS. The headlights are useless in my opinion. I used a magnetic mount so I didn't have to use a bunch of u bolts. I can also quickly and easily remove it by undoing...

Jack, my new farmhand. He's an 8 week old blue heeler.
