This is a quick guide for new owners or those interested in owning a Massey Ferguson Sub Compact Tractor GC1723e so you can get to work without doing a Buch of reading.
I have a GC1710 TLB with front snowblower, rotary broom, brush cutter, and mower deck with over 700 hours, fantastic machine! You will love this thing and constantly be impressed with the performance. Thanks for shooting the video. To the person who asked about the radiator petcock, there isn't one. There is a hose at the base of the radiator that is attached to a round steel dowel welded to the frame. It has a hose clamp on it. When you take off the clamp and pull off the hose, the radiator starts to drain out. Sounds cheap, but I love it as there is no valve to ever leak and I can replace the hose for pennies if I ever have to. Massey does not always complicate things, but they are incredibly functional and provide great service. Over 700 hours and have not had to replace anything except filters and fluids. Do the maintenance and they will fight over this tractor when you are gone. God Bless all, stay safe as the first rule.
Hats off to you Sir for your real time demonstration of a subcompact tractor owner/operator's life! You have the BEST features and functional guide I have seen online. Even though you are on a Massey tractor, many of the functions shown hold true for most other brand name units on the market. Every other demo I have seen just mention minor details about the lighting functions. You, actually got off the machine to show each light function in operation! Also, glad to see you remembered to shut off the engine when hooking up the rear pto! Safety first, safety always! Keep up the GOOD, SAFE work and videos! You have my like and subscription to your credit now! Best regards!
Awesome video and very precise. I'm thinking on getting one to help with the dirt being thrown into my pick up truck. I've been trying to get my yard straight for over 30 years. My low back is killing me...lol
Thank you for this very nice video teaching. I want to share with you a secret that I learned. No judgement or unkindness but from a place of love I tell you this: If you will take one tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil then 3 tablespoons of fresh squeezed lemon juice, first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, the fat will melt off your body like melting snow. You don't need to diet or exercise, switching to Coconut Oil for cooking will help. May the good Lord bless you.
Bro it's a super pain in the ass hooking up any implements to these tractors with the backhoe back frame there's no room I don't even like taking the hoe off mine but you have to, it's like a 20 minute ordeal just to get a brush cutter on it
Did you find a way to drain the antifreeze? I cannot find a petcock on the engine block and forget about the radiator, it's so cramped. I missed the 50-hr. maintenance, now I have 101 hrs.
I would definitely consider a GC series if I was gona get a small sub compact however I am hopefully going to be in the market for a 2855M series MASSEY FERGUSON..
There R4 tires , actually if you're in the market to buy a massey don't get the R4s order the R1s they are ag tires like the farm tractors have anyway the person that you're purchasing from should walk you through carefully how to use any machine if you're not already an operator I know personally that this guy was carefully walked through on how to operate the tractor either from a private person or a salesman from a dealership and sometimes it may take more time to show some people than others ...
