I purchased a GC1720TLB this spring with MMM and I am really happy with it. I also have a New Holland T4.75 that I got last summer as an upsize from my JD 5205. I have 15 acres that I was baling for hay but have decided to stop and will just bushhog now with a 6 footer. My T4.75 is a little big for what I do. My dad borrows it to do yard jobs and the NH is way too big for yard work. I am considering the 1700 series to replace it. Was thinking somewhere in the 1749-1759 range. I havent went to the dealer yet to lay my eyes on it but my main concerns are as follows:
1.) pulling a 6 ft bush hog is probably the most work it will do and I have one part of my place that is very steep.
2) still small enough to get in the yard if my dad needs it.
3.)will the R4 tires perform well on steep hill, my GC does fine but its alot smaller.
4.)physical size/weight difference from my current T4.75
Just wanting some of your all's first hand experience or thoughts.
Thanks in advance
