Great Video I’ve been in the market for a subcontract tractor. Thanks for your insight. Great video thanks.

He must be unionized.

Rewatched! Absolutely a fan of this attachment and the skid steer dirt work being done.

Hi from Australia, I have the exact same issue with my GC1705. I see many design flaws with MF (ISEKI) tractors,which could damage the tractor and will cost a fortune. Recently the 4 bolts from my mower deck gearbox came off. awkward positioning of the tail lights , which already broken.

Thanks for this real world review. Very helpful

Great review. Very informative!!!

I was bored watching videos till I seen the Craig test dummy unboxing! Then it was must see tv! 😂

My fist impressions were on that pretty new concrete with no oil stains. 13:20 😂

A lot would be solved by a 1725M

What model is it? Looks like Massey

Great job Now ya got a BETTER THAN new looking tractor and no payments 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Holy crap man get a wrench.

I have the same tractor love the backhoe attachment which is what I mostly leave on but I have a blade and a finish mower,kinda wish I got the mid mount mower

Hi Jason, thanks for the video. HOW BIG IS THAT TRAILER? Really, will you tell me?

Hey Jason ,I have been missing seeing new videos from you and i just wanted to check in and see how you are doing.

Which tractor is a better quality and more reliable tractor, Kioti or a Massey Feeguson?

I'm looking at a used massey ferguson 2605, not sure if I should go forward with it. I just need something to plow and disc pasture to bring it into vegetable production for starters but I think it has enough power for other things down the line. There are no real reviews of it that I could find

Thanks for the review and your experience working the Massey GC 1710 tlb. I've looked at a lot of tractors. For now I'm considering a similar model of Massey Ferguson. Appreciate your honesty.

Just bought a new one. It's being delivered in the next few minutes. Your video makes me more relaxed as I wait for it to show up. Thanks!

She looks good, Jason! You did really well re-attaching the backhoe. I always have trouble with it, and fumble about for quite a while. - Rick

Hi Jason. I just ran across this video from last year. Great review. I have the older model GC2610, which is basically the same tractor. I've only had a few breakdowns, and they were all my fault. I think every breakdown involved damaging a hydraulic hose or two. I agree, these tractors are well built and tough! Thanks for sharing. - Rick

Good to see you cousin!!!

Happy to hear the 1000 hour news. I'm glad I picked Massey. Best bang for bucks. (Nissan Frontier pickup=best truck bang) Those lights. I snapped one off. Used gel super glue to fix it and tape to hold it while the glue set. Perfect job. Can't even see the break line. Because the Massey loan stipulates I can't use it for commercial, and insurance says it has to stay on the property, I have thought to take those lights off and replace with LED spots on the front and back of the ROPS. Not out the side. Those lights are for the road and don't make sense in the bush. I have the 2018 model. Better seat, same bucket joystick. It is a beast for sure. Only 60 hours but I've moved a dump-truck full of rip-rap, truck of gravel, truck of crushed asphalt, 3 trucks of wood chips, put in three culverts, dug out my ditch on property road frontage, graded the driveway, used the backhoe with thumb to carry numerous large logs, and dug out at least twenty big rocks (the ones that stick up enough to hit lawnmower blades). Oh yes, it's a great tow truck for the other machine that broke down in the bush. 20 acre property. Mostly low lying inaccessible bush. Did I mention I also built two short 300' roads over damp spots with the rip-rap, asphalt and gravel. One was mostly to level the path so the side-lights don't tilt into a tree (the one that snapped it off.)

Thank you! Good, honest review! Lots of seat time on that so it is based on real life experience. Always annoying when someone has 8 hours on something and gives a review. Thanks for sharing!

Well Mr. Jason at a thousand hours you have proved that this massey ferguson rig is of excellent quality & reliability. So many other video's & sales pitches with very little or NO back up. Thanks for vidio, happy safe tractoring. Just happen to have two Massey-Ferguson's; a 1988 2010 21hp 1686 hours. A 2016 1736 with a measly 10.4 hrs - yes 10.4 hours.. So just can't say much except it looks "pretty", just a case of "more money than brains" so far. Number 3- a 2017 Kubogy ,a mx5200 tlb with 778hrs does just fine except hydraulics are Kubogy slow. I need a (would like) a back-hoe attachment [a measly 10,000$]for the1736 to prove it's worth.--- but can't find any "REAL" vidios to spur me on--- like yours!!

That's some nice sandy soil to work with ! I use to have one of those portable garages 1st heavy wet snow crushed the hell out of it but I did manage to salvage the front & back & I use one to cover my log splitter implement & my newer M-F 1526 & I just have a tarp for the M-F 50 & my only tractor project I have going on right know is putting a canopy on the 1526 I'm repurposing a barely used golf cart top & I'm installing 2 led lights in the front & 2 in the rear that are attached the canopy along with a AM-FM / weather radio with a built in speaker & that's attached to a center brace that I installed & yes I'm putting on side view mirrors as well total cost of this build was only $ 355.00 & that is about the cost of a new one from the dealer for a plain canopy& way cheaper than a new plain golf cart canopy . Looks like the hood repair on Maggie is holding up good & I like your therapy nothing beats seat time on the tractors & the only other tractor project I have lined up is to replace the external hydraulic lines on the 50 & on the log splitter implement they are a wee bit over 20 years old. Thanks for the video & I'm looking forward to the next one. Oh! my brother is enjoying his new M-F GC 1723 EB & one other thing I'm getting a Massey- Ferguson dealer that is fairly close to me YAY!

Well let me tell you guys about my M/F 2750E I’ve had it for 8 months now . I had the dealership to had a 3 function and it’s a WRL brand it’s very good 3 rd function in the pass I’ve had two other tractor with those on them . Well who every put that one on my tractor need to know how to install them . It’s never work right . Now it’s been leaking oil. I’ve took the tractor back now 3 times and still have now fixed the problem. What a disappointment that tractor is 8 months and only 16 hours. 33, OOO dollars not worth a damn. Will be up for sale.

I have 250hrs on mine overall I’m very pleased with it. I too had a issue with the hydro line rubbing thru. After replacing I put a small piece of old rubber hose around the line it and it solve the issue. Only other complaint, is the lift capacity of the front bucket seems a little weak to me. Also I wish there was a quick disconnect for the front bucket so you could add attachments like a grapple for moving brush.

Really looking good after the detail. Did you find any leaking hydraulic lines or seals once the dirt/grease/oil was removed? The time-lapse makes a good video even better.

Jason, your tract of land is very beautiful. It looks dry with a wide variety of trees. I'm looking forward to its preparation for your homesite and transformation of the property. From all the palmetto plants I'm guessing you're located in Florida or South Carolina. Thanks for the video.

Just 4 bolts. You suck at life!!

Sawzall comes to mind as much quicker

I have the GC 2410 going on 10 years now...I agree with everything you said about the don't likes but I want to add the 3 PH lever...its too low and a pain to control any rear attachment accept the BH. I still have 300 hours on mine and only issue I had so far was the front pivot axle seal leak which I fixed myself.

You should look into the ripper attachment

Is your tractor missing the muffler?

Hey Jason ! I don't think there is anything John hasn't done with his SCUT or done to it , He really is a good person & has allot of good tips & experience with these SCUT .Nice job on breaking it down & showing the possibilities of what could have been the issue. Thanks for the video have fun & be safe doing it.

Hey Jason ! Maggie is looking good in the neighborhood again ! & good job on tackling all the minor issues before they got out of hand .& thanks for the video have fun & be safe while doing it.

Hey Jason ! Just giving You a follow up on my brother getting his M-F GC1723 EB he took delivery 2 weeks ago & the 1st 3 days he put 15 hrs. on her so he is ahead of me in seat time for last month, Dang it! & I have 2 tractors oh well . I've not heard him this happy in a long time & he wishes he didn't wait so long when he thinks about all the physical labor who was doing on his property & I told him he would enjoy his mechanical child LOL ,He did get the mechanical thumb with her & he already bought the the steps & skid plate for her & I bought him a real nice hat & Massey-Ferguson decal for the back of his country Cadillac ( P/U ) & I did forward your video to him about 4 week ago , Have fun & be safe doing it.

I bought a GC1710 tlb about 5 years ago. Just did the 500 hour service. I have 8 western PA acres, which means hills. I liked my GC so much I also bought a 1726e 2 years later.. A member of our club looked my tractors over and bought a 1734e with a backhoe to do hundreds of feet of irrigation ditch.. My tractors completed 5 versalok walls, leveled a couple of backyards, put in hundreds of feet of French drain for a few homes, and moved or distributed a couple hundred tons of material. Beast is an understatement. They have both paid for themselves 3-4 times over. I have done a series of lighting, toolbox, and winch upgrades. The only thing I have managed to break is one of the ROPs lights, just like you. I keep up with all the maintenance on both and from the looks of the machines, they will both be in my Will and fought over. Enjoy your equipment and most of all, stay safe, thanks so much for the video and sharing.

Got me a mfgc1723e, can't wait to start putting it to work

Hi Jason, When I watched and commented on your 1000 hour review I thought because of all the sand you have that you were going to have a lot of problems (sand is very hard on equipment) I bought my Massey after watching John video's! the comment by Dan H sounds like a good Idea, I may do it myself !

Very good review & honest ! I own 2 Massey-Ferguson's 1959 M-F 50 gasoline , & a 2018 M-F 1526 diesel both are great tractors & used year round.

Thanks for the review Jason, I bought the 1723eb about a month ago and now have 26 hours on it. Told the dealer it would be 10 years before I had 50 hours on it but I just keep finding more things to do with it. I am in my 60's and it's the son that I never had, I call him Jr. The new seats are supposedly better, I do wish they could move the seat up closer to the controls on the BH so you could sit back in the seat more. I priced the arm rests they said 300 dollars I said no thanks. I do like the joy stick on the fender. and I did buy the mechanical thumb and it works well. A guy in another video said the hood is 1800 dollars. It is very well built and a beast ! Thanks again.

I have this exact attachment and I love it too! I own and operate RV Parks and this thing maintains my roads and sites very well. I run it on a bobcat t66.

That was tough to watch. I wonder if he got a deal on a scratch and dent model

Thanks for the comprehensive review! I don’t get much info from the 10 hour ‘fanboy’ reviews.

Titan bolts there shipping crates with 3/8 hardware, a socket and a crescent wrench would have saved a bunch if time. Titan products are great and well built

I feel like if I tried to park tractors in that portable building, I would probably fall off the side and through the wall. Im a little top heavy. Haha

Keep going you are doing great.

Congrats Jason. Hope the next 249 flows smoothly. It takes a while to reach 1000 but once it does then you'll keep on climbing up there. Have a fine weekend.
