GC1710 TLB over 5 years old with over 800 hours of work, never a breakdown, still has the original battery. Runs with a mower, front loader and backhoe in the summer/spring, front mounted snowblower, rotary broom, and blade in the winter. Some folks will be green :-) with envy, but you have a forever machine on your hands.

I have the same machine without the backhoe. Absolutely love it! I know for my machine the first big service wasn't due until 250 hours. I did it at 55. The previous model year for the same machine called for the first big service at 50 hours. I like doing things early with new equipment. Flushes out any leftover manufacturing debris and i learned a good deal about my machine! Enjoy an excellent tractor!

Those arm rests are held by three little screws that are screwed through 1/8" thick plastic on the seat. I was getting onto my tractor yesterday, grabbed the arm rest for support and it snapped, now my arm rest is flapping around. Calling my dealer on Monday, i mean this is ridiculous.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you're OK. On those tractors and mowers, armrests sometimes get in the way more than they help. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Sorry to disappoint. I've been comparative shopping for 4-5 years and slowly saving all that time to eventually buy a subcompact or compact ttactor. After all that, couldn't find any good reason not to include this one in the search. Thanks for watching.
