Excellent video. I just bought a 2022 used GC1725M and I'm learning about it and this video helped explain a few things I was not sure about! Thank you!
I cant engage the rear PTO at idle. It's a very harsh engagement and kills the engine. I have to bump the RPMs up to around 1600-1700 to keep the engine from being choked out. Its still a very hard engagement but the tractor stays running. Anyone else have this issue?
I apologize, i didn't see this comment come through. I'm sure you'll get a better deal on the 2022, but year doesn't matter as much as hours on tractors. No changes from 2022 to 2024 models.
Sorry, somehow missed this comment coming through. The 1735 and 1740 have been replaced with an 1835E or 1835M and 1840E or 1840M. Where are you located?
I'm confused on lowering the belly mower vs 3 point. Same lever? What distinguishes which one you are lowering? I don't think you explained this when talking about the speed and height levers vs the control lever.
Sorry about the confusion on this. The same lever will raise and lower the belly mower as well as the 3-point. You can control the height it lowers the belly mower to by adjusting the knob that would be by your left heel as you are sitting on the seat on the tractor. It has numbers 1-5. That knob will control how low you can set the belly mower down. One thing you can do is turn that knob to the locked position, with it in the locked position you can raise and lower the 3 point without raising and lowering the belly mower. However, there is no feature that allows you to raise and lower the belly mower without raising and lowering the 3-point. That can be kind of confusing, please let me know if further clarification is needed. Thank you for watching and for the question!
You're better off just adding the arm rests to your existing seat. Holes are already there for installation and you can order the armrests through your local agco dealer parts department. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Well the tractor industry has taken its marketing from the pickup truck market. TRICKS AND TOY'S SELL!! I have a thirty year old fifty inch deck lawn tractor with a Kholer 20hp and is still cutting grass and pulling my yard trailer. My son-in-law bought one of these TOY'S and it didn't make ten years before it was a big $$$ problem.
Not sure what tricks you're referring to..... Like anything else, longevity of the machine depends on how well you take care of it. We've sold plenty of machines that are well over 10 years old and still running great! Just as there are plenty of tractors like yours out there that are no longer running or operational. Thank you for watching and your input!
I bought a MS 1725M mostly for the front end loader. I had NO IDEA how often I would use that bucket! And if I wanted to, I could also use this neat little tractor for mowing. Thankfully, I don't need it for that. On the other hand, gardening has taken on a whole new meaning. Now I can move large amounts of compost and dirt effortlessly. When you're 67, "effortless" also takes on a whole new meaning. Yes, I suppose you could call it a toy. But it is the most useful, back-saving toy I've ever owned. Absolutely no regrets in buying it.
@@pafurnace That's Awesome! They really are little work horses! We sell a lot of them. They are small, but mighty! Glad you are enjoying yours and getting so much use out of it. Thank you for watching and commenting!
