Howdy! First post. Looking to get a SCUT or CUT and tested out a MF GC1720 with backhoe. I wanted to love it based on specs and pricing. Upon my test ride at dealer a couple things I noticed. First, I'm an average sized person and the steering wheel seemed awkwardly low...like around my knees. Of course it wasn't but it felt like it.
Also, it took more effort than I would like to press both the forward and reverse pedals. If I drove it for 30 minutes my right leg would be worn out. :laughing:
Anyone else notice this on these MF's or otherwise have thoughts or feedback?
I see the new GC 1725MB, which is similar tractor has some design features that may change the steering wheel issue...tilt for one. The seat height is partically because it's double use with backhoe and it is spring loaded so sits higher than normal I guess?
