Having just purchased a older gc1705 (2016) I got a sentinel plate for it. After several attempts to get the upper bolts started and failing I glued the nuts to the main body and then slid it up in being careful of the wires on the left side. Then just started the bolts. It worked perfectly.

Oh great. Part 1 of this got me to order the root ripper. I forgot to mention in my comment on that video that I also ordered the thumb and quick connect piece. All three were almost $1200. Now after watching this video I'm going to have to order the trench bucket. I need to stop watching your channel or get a second job!! Just kidding about not watching. Thanks again for posting these.

Great video !!! I always heard that anytime you are using the front end loader on a Massey gc1723 subcompact that you need to have 4 wheel drive engaged. I sure don't want to mess up my tractor, but it does help to push into the pile your are working with. should I stay in 2 wheel drive ?

Thank you Richard, for watching and the comment! You see correct that 4 wheel drives helps to dig in. What I would recommend is watch your turning radius when under a load. Try to make a wide of turns you can get. Long sweeping turns if at all possible. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!

I have one built by Howse(no longer in business😔)that I bought in 2013. They called theirs a ridger. It works great. I disk first, then pulverize with the tiller and then make my rows with the ridger. I make a row, go back down with the plow up and then make another row, make a row-skip a row. Look up Web Cajun on here for information about this. I do this with a John Deere 5105 and I will have very close to 5 feet between rows which allows me to get my tiller in there and clean out between rows. Great for a pea or melon patch. We have had so much rain in northeast La. this spring, it may be July before I can get anything planted. I’ve never seen anything like it.

A couple of observations: 1. This Quick Hitch Adapter looks like a good fit for that particular brush hog, but now you have to remove it the next time you want to use a rake, box blade, ballast box, etc. This adapter doesn't seem to solve the problem of making the quick hitch compatible with every implement. It seems to make it specific to this brush hog and Incompatible with every other implement. 2.
