hard to believe how powerful these machines are. you really showed its capabilities very well in this video. I think massey owes you a check for this one. better than any commercial I have seen for massey.
HAHA! Don't I wish!! What a Christmas it would be! LOL Thanks Dave! Hope everything is well with you and the family! Have a great Thanksgiving my friend!
I like your videos.
I purchased in 2013 a new Mahindra Max 28xl HST (Diesel)with loader and backhoe w/thumb Compact Tractor + Grapple, 5 ft landpride box blade, 4 ft bush hog, 5ft landscape rake, a used 5ft disc, used 5ft King Kutter finish mower, ratchet rake, and carry all for 5ft sprayer with 30 gallon tank. I also purchased a 16ft trailer to haul the tractor. I have about 430 hours on the tractor. I love this tractor with no breakdowns, I have used this tractor to clear 2 acres +. I'm currently digging a 290 ft ditch across my property to reduce flooding. I still have a little more to clear on my acreage. I had to clear vines out of the trees and cut down and burn 20 trees only with this tractor. I dug out 10 grapevine root balls.
Good Luck with your Tractor.
Thank you Stanley, for watching and commenting! Sounds like you got a really nice setup!! Thanks for sharing you review of the Mahindra! I hope you get many good years out of it!! Have a good one!
Perfect tractor. Mine has 88.4 hrs on it and going strong. We ( my wife uses it also) use it for clearing land, moving rocks, making and repairing roads and carrying large logs to my sawmill. We are in central Maine homesteading off grid. Love your vids.
That's awesome! We are trying to put something together for all those Lady tractor lovers! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Rick!
Finally a video of someone doing the big jobs, that’s what we want to see pre-purchase of these small machines.
Thank you Jamie Broun, for watching and the comment! I really appreciate it! That's why I do the videos. When I got mine there wasn't much about them being worked. Have a good one! See ya in the next one
I have a gc2600 Massey. 500 hours on it and still runs like a top! It is always a show stopper when I start working with it. Nothing it can't do with some time and patience. Great machines!
Thanks James, for watching and the comment! They are great tractors! I'm glad you got so many hours on it and it still runs great!! Have a good one!!
Hi John,
Watching your videos gave me the best review for purchasing a sub compact. I grew up driving a Massey 165 for my Uncle so it was only fitting that I got one. I picked mine up in June and have just over 80 hours on. This past weekend I trenched in a 100' waterline from the house to the barn. I live in Canada and had to dig a 5' trench so it doesn't freeze. Other projects have been yard cleanup, I picked up a set of pallet forks for moving landscaping rocks around, post hole digger for making a set of climbers for the kids, going to plant trees in the spring with it as well. We have a big berm on our 3 acre yard and I must say the 4wd makes mowing a breeze on that thing. I love my tractor and every time I use it I am so glad I bought it. I need to post some videos but need to get a go-pro or something to record while I work with it. What do you use for recording and editing? I do have some still pics, but no video yet of mine.
Hey Thomas! Thank you so much! That is a heck of a trench and deep! Believe it or not I use my Samsung S8 to video and Hit Film Express to edit video it's free!
These little compact tractors are just all around impressive and tough as nails for to he so small,I have an older kubota bx24,its a little rough looking cosmetically but it has yet to let me down on any task I have thrown at it,I have removed some huge stumps that left asteroid crater sized holes in the yard with it and numerous other heavy task and it handles them no problems,I love my little orange beast,awesome video by the way,very well done and a great demonstration of the capabilities of your little red beast. Have a good one John
Thank you Blacksmith 76! These sub compacts are so strong and versatile you can do just about any project! I think they are far under estimated! Have a good one!
Man, this video has opened my eyes to all the possibilities of what this little tractor can do. I have watched many, many videos but not one of them has shown the capabilities and versatilities of this tractor as well as you have. I am not rethinking what attachments I can order and use to clear property in a proper manner. Thank you very much for the time and effort you have put in to making this video, and Yes, I have subscribed. Best of luck to you in all your endeavors. Keep on Tractoring !
Thank you Andy, for watching and the sub! I really appreciate you kind comment!! Look forward to reading more of your comments. Have a good one!
I really appreciate your enthusiasm and it this was a great retrospective of your projects. Congratulations on 150 hours!!! I think we all can tell that you enjoy that little tractor and that your review will be favorable. No lawn tractor, overgrown or otherwise, could take out the stumps you and your Massey handled. I only have a total of 30 hours of tractor experience, but I consider my John Deere 1025R to be part of the family. I'm not in my 20's or 30's anymore and the tractor is literally the difference between giving up on outdoor projects and getting them done with a smile on my face. I think someone would be happy to have any tractor, red, orange, blue or green but as you know I chose green. Why? Well once I started seeing people on TractorByNet post what they paid I called my dealer with some numbers and to my surprise they said yes. So price was out of the equation, it was just a few hundred bucks more than the others. I wanted it because I liked the loader control mounted on the fender, the seat felt really good the quick attach system didn't seem to hurt capacity and allows for pallet forks (this was a big factor), The thick rubber mat on the floor seemed "premium" and likely to stay in place and I like the plastic since a lot of other tractors I see start rusting where the operators feet scuff the paint. Cup holder, USB power for my phone, tilt steering, cruise control, a height stop for the three point hitch... It just seemed like a really nice tractor to me. I have to admit that I like the way it looks too. So it was "the one" for me. Can't do much of a review though since I've only had it for about 8 weeks but I will say we are enjoying it! Thanks again for the videos and I hope you have a great Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! JD are good tractors! I think if you are happy and it's doing what you wanted it for, and you feel that it was a good value. Then like you said, that's "the one" lol
Great review. You do a great job showing what the machine is really capable of.
Thank you Luke! I try to push the limits a little! lol Have a great time with the family!
Very impressive! Hubby and I really enjoy watching you operate the backhoe....like a professional! We don't have a tractor yet, still doing some research. Going to look at a Massey this week:) Yay!
Thank you P&J! You can not do enough research. Take y'alls time so you can get the tractor that is best for you! Keep me updated on the progress. Y'all have a good week!
Glad you found my channel now I am subscribed to yours. My tractor is the GC 2300 one of the first ones without a backhoe. Basically been a good tractor 4 10 years besides replacing the seals on the axle knuckles regularly as well as tie rod ends. It has 1700 hours on it and it still runs strong, replacement starters being a pain in the ass. You really put your machine to the limits that's great to see, will be watching your other videos about the geothermal that seems to interest me a lot thanks for sharing
Thank you Mighty Moe, I glad to hear you are happy with your GC after all them hours and work! I'm glad you're here and thanks for the sub!
Hi John I enjoy all your videos. This video does show it is not a an overgrown lawnmower. The machine is made for specific duties.
Let me say to know your machine and use it to its potential is what makes the tractor and the operator. We all learn by doing. I get most of my ideas and knowledge first on videos like yours and then apply it to my needs and my machine. I have a BX25D and I love it. From mowing, grading, stump pulling, moving stone and dirt and to removing snow I just love it. I am residential but my two kids and the neighbors all benefit from my "play time". Happy Turkey Day
I love it! What others consider "WORK" we consider "PLAY TIME"!! Kubota's are some great tractors! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well!
Great video editing of what this tractor can do. In your honest review you show that some things break with use but you make that Massey Ferguson GC 1710 earn its keep! Prayers to you and your family. I'm checking out your other videos as well.
Thank you Jeff, for watching and the kind comment! It has done a great job taking my abuse! HaHa Same to you and your family! Have a good weekend! See ya in the next one!
Great video. I am researching subcompact tractors and was skeptical about how much power they had. You helped put that question to rest.
Thank you M____B, for watching and the comment! I'm glad the videos helped you! Now not all tractors are a like, so do just what you're doing till you find the one that is right for the work you want done. Also try and think about what you might do with it a few years down the road. Please keep my updated on what you get and how you like it and what you're doing with it! Have a good weekend! See ya in the next one!
Picking up my new GC1705L with loader this coming week. Can't wait 😊
CONGRATULATION!! Jeffrey!! You are going to have so much fun with it! I hope to see some video of you and the new Massey!! Have a great weekend!!
Great video John and as for my review I love my massey Ferguson GC1710 TLB and I consider it a tractor it has way more capabilities then a oversized lawnmower lol. You did a great job showcasing the Tractor keep em coming.
Hey Tim, I'm glad you're happy with the Massey! I think these sub compacts are so much more fun to run then the commercial equipment!
Best compact massey review ive seen yet
Thank you Andrew, for watching and the comment. I really appreciate it! These little tractors are amazing for the size. Have a great week! See ya in the next one!
Great video John! Love your tractor videos and I'm so happy for you and how your channel is growing! You'll be at 1K in no time!!
Thank you C.J.! I can't wait till you breakout that LS again! Happy Thanksgiving! I know it going to be a much warmer one then the past! lol
@@LouisianaTractorworks Happy Thanksgiving buddy!
Hey John,
Hello from Southwestern Pa,
This is my first time commenting but I’ve been following you for quite a while now. I really enjoy watching your videos. They’re fun and informative. I own a Massey Ferguson 1526. I bought it brand new 5 years ago, It’s been a great tractor. Two friends also bought Massey’s this past summer, a GC1705 and a GC1720. Both guys love them so far. To anyone looking at tractors I’d recommend putting Massey on your short list! Thanks for sharing your videos with us! You definitely show the capabilities of these machines. Keep up the good work. I’d call these “tractors” in my opinion, Small but mighty.
Thank you drb6600, I really appreciate it! I would love to have a 1526! I glad to hear they hold up! Massey does make some great tractors! Happy Thanksgiving to you and the family! The friends too! lol
Just ordered one. Thanks for the great video
Congrats!! I hope you have as much fun with it as I have with mine!! Have a good one!!
Definitely a tractor...I have a Massey Ferguson 1742 with almost 20 hours on it and love it so far... Working on getting a little business started with it hopefully... Keep up the great work!
Thank you Robbobshiskabob Robboboscarpete, I wish you the best on the business! They are some great tractors! Have a great turkey day!
Great video John! Lots of power in a small convenient package. I have the JD 3036e and I love it. It's my third tractor in three years. Just wish I had bought my third tractor first. Would have saved me a bunch of money. 😀
Hey Espressodude, JD 3036e that's a nice size tractor! Sorry you had so much problems the last three years with tractors but glad you're happy with what the one you have now!
I have the Massey Ferguson gc1720 and love it even tho i haven't used it for the jobs that you have as i don't have much going on right now .I have dug a ditch scraped my driveway ,spread four truck loads of dirt,moved last yrs. snow and moved several loads of mulch with mine . Now that it's starting to loosen up and get broken in i really love it as it seems to feel stronger and alittle more free everytime that i use it .It is a great tractor.I looked at several tractors before i bought the Massey and almost bought the R.K24 as it has more options but i just felt that the Massey felt more comfortable in the operators station and compared to the Fordson and the kubota b6100e tractor that i had the Massey wins hands down and would buy the same tractor again.Thanks for your videos and hope you have a great Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving to you Jerry! I would buy mine again as well! Thanks for the review Jerry!
I'm sold buying this one next month I love how you actually show the tractor working I've seen so many video showing all the specs and features but not work I don't care much what the specs say I want to see it functioning.
Thank you Joani, for watching and the comment! I really appreciate the kind words. Like you, I could not find much on these tractors. That's why I started doing videos so people could get the information I couldn't find. Congrats on the new Massey!! I hope you get as much use out of it as I have with mine. Keep me updated on what you think about it. There is a lot of great groups on Facebook like the one I have Learning My Tractor. Hope to see you there. Have a good week see ya in the next one!
Great video these little sub compacts are true tractors I know I have really enjoyed my kubota BX 25 and it has accomplished a lot of work that I could not have never imagined without it. There is one weakness with mine and that is lift capacity of the loader which is just under 600 lbs and that has been a disappointment, but all other tasks it’s has performed great with no issues. That being said and because of the lift capacity she going away yes I’m up grading to a larger one probably went way over board a lot more tractor then I need right now but I am also looking to the future where we want to sale my rental properties and get some land . Hope to have a video out when it comes in maybe next week. Keep your videos coming I enjoy watching. You and your family have a blessed and wonderful Thanksgiving.
CONGRATS!! On the new tractor! I can't wait to see it!
We picked up 5 acres wooded here in Florida. We are shopping for a compact tractor. This video just made sure the Massey Ferguson GC 1700 series tractor is on the list. There is a Massey Dealer about an hour from our property. We will look into paying them a visit. My son says he would rather have a small compact like yours with a backhoe than a larger one without. After him and I put in a 36 foot by 18 inch galvanized culvert by hand with shovels and a hand tamp, we are looking forward to adding a reliable tractor to the family.
Subscribed and clicked the bell.
Thank You FbP!! for the comment and the sub!! They are a swiss army knife type tractor and a very powerful drive train for the size. This works in two ways, strong and small enough to fit in tight places to do a variety of jobs. The small size and light weight limits you from doing other type jobs. When looking at tractors you want to figure out what are you going to be doing the most with it and find one that fits that first and everything else is a plus! You also want to find a really good dealer. That is the second most important part about getting a tractor! lol I hope the best for you and the family on this Adventure!!! Please let me know what you end up getting and no matter what tractor you get I hope to see you and it!! Have a great week!!!
Dang John you knew that you had a ton of work for that Massey and totally got it down how to use it and just look at all the work you got done so far. Super job! BTW you beat me to 150! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving to you and your family my friend.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Chris!! All these tractor are so much fun working them! I know you can't be to far away from me on the hours! lol You have done a lot with yours!
I always enjoy driving my dad's Massey Fergusons back in the sixties and seventies but they were agricultural and industrial tractors.
And I really like the sound of that Perkins diesel in them.
Thanks Kerry, for watching and the comment! Them old Perkins run great for years! I love them models. We have a 1959 Massey I would like to restore if I can find a motor for it! It's my wife's favorite tractor! Have a good one and Thanks again!
Great video John, really shows the GC1700 series in not a lawnmower but a real tractor, small yes but capable of big things.
As you well know Eric. These sub compacts have been given a bad rap for years and maybe the first ones were over sized lawnmowers BUT not these days! They are very capable of doing a lot of different projects! I hope you're having a great time! And Happy Thanksgiving!
Well John I think you love that tractor lol. The amount of work you did with is unbelievable. I'm surprised massey hasn't asked you to do a review lmao! Tractors come in all shapes. It can and will do anything a tractor can do. Thanks for the video. Have a good one!
Hey William, you are right! I think if it is doing the jobs you bought it for then it's a tractor. Each size is used for specific situations. I would not want to plow 1500 acres with my tractor but at the same time I wouldn't want to bring a Case 580 in to do these projects on my place. Hope you are doing well and waiting to see update on the old tractor!
Good stuff John ! Y'all have a nice turkey day and take care😀
Thanks J, I hope you and your family has a blessed one!
I’m not going to pretend like I know what any of this means, I don’t know anything about tractors. I’m just here to support you, because you’re a funny guy😂. Keep up the good work and Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
HAHA! Thank you Tom! You and your family have a great Thanksgiving too!
Nice machine. My tractor is a kubota 47 hp but I like the Massey equally as well. Great tractor and video.
Thanks G.A., That's a good size Kubota! They are some great tractors! Have a good one!
Great video, stayed for a full watch and like. Not been around for a while so catching up . Have a great day.
Nice to have you back around! I hope your week goes good!
Congrats on 600 SUBSCRIBERS & 150 HOURS on the Massey! I believe your review for your Massey tractor is you love it, You completed so many projects with it from geothermal digging ,removing serious stumps that made your front end lift up pretty high :) to leveling out land with a tiller and so much more. That Massey is a beast of a tractor! I believe my tractor (JD 4110) is a sub-compact tractor because its larger than the 1 family Deere and has a fair amount of hydraulic controls. It defiantly gets the job done for me. Hope you have a Great Thanksgiving :)
Thanks Jassal! I love your JD it is really strong for the size!
@@LouisianaTractorworksThat's one thing i like about it. The John Deere can fit through trees & cut grass nicely without being too heavy that it leaves ruts or tears up the grass.
I believe you have put the Massey though the mill and it's still going strong. We have and older Massey 283 it has done it share of work also. Have a good one!
Thanks MTRUNK, it's funny how much you can push a tractor to get the job done! You have a great week!
I think this video was aimed right at me. For years i have used what was called a garden tractor. I have went through 2 of them in 14 years at about $3 grand each. Just like you say just glorified lawn mowers so i have made the decision is real tractertime. Your videos have convinced me that Massey Ferguson GC1710 has what it takes for my purpose my only problem is so has the RK 24 from Rural King. So between now and this spring i must decide on which of the 2 real tractors to go with. Thank you for all your fabulous videos makes my choice harder but shows just what we want to see and expect from a great tractor and the company that builds them.
Oh almost forgot to say happy Thanksgiving and a great holiday season. Yes hunting season is here in WV and had a pretty good first day 2 management does ready for the freezer. I'm not a trophy hunter for me its just meat in freezer and food on the table. Again Happy Holidays and be safe.
You can't get much better food and two on the first day! Hey do you want to go gambling! With that luck we should win BIG!! lol Well no matter which one you get. I hope it works best for you! Happy Thanksgiving!
I own a GC1715 for 2.5 years now and I haven't had any major issues with mine. These tractors are built tough. I've used mine to dig boulders as big as the bucket out of the ground and haul them away. I just wish I bought mine with a back hoe. At the time when I bought my tractor I never thought I would ever have any use for it. The only issues I had with mine were the seat and pto safety switches going bad after a year. As much as I enjoyed the one I have, I want to get a bigger Massey to do bigger jobs and get done quicker. Nice videos by the way.
Thank you Kou Vang, for the comment! Glad to hear the Massey has been good to you! I wish I could get a bigger tractor too. lol The backhoe is great to have on a tractor so many things you can do with it! Have a good one and thanks again!!
Nice review John! I liked it! My front neighbor has a MF. Not quite sure the model, we don't happen to see each other much. The stump at 15:00 in your video tells it all about the tractor! We can see you are really satisfied with it. As you asked us about review of our own tractor, I would say I missed a great occasion to make the half century review on my Case 430 (1962)... If my tractor would have been used only 3 hours per year, it would have more hours than yours! Lol! I don't know exactly the number of hours on mine, as it reads 2004 hours since the last 15 years! Have a great Thanksgiving John!
OMG!! LMAO!! Your killing me Joe! I'm laughing so hard I can hardly breath!! LOL Now you can start the hour meter all over again. You have a GREAT Thanksgiving too! still laughing!!
Thanks for your "review", I believe I've seen all your Massey videos and I'd feel confident that you would give the tractor a 9+ out of 10 if I had to guess?? I have the same little gc1710, 490 hours on it and have not had a single issue with it to date. Amazing what these sub compacts can do for their size.....definitely not glorified lawn mowers, not even close haha. Happy thanksgiving!
Hey Adam! I agree with you they are just as capable as anything else on the market! Don't eat to much this turkey day! LOL
How's she goin' John? Just subbed. And as to your questions, the GC1710, like my GC2300, is way more than a lawn tractor. I don't have a back how but with my bucket I dug a hole deep enough to drive the tractor into it and it was deeper than the tractor was high. I'd say the hole was 7 feet deep!!! Amazing what they can do. Looking forward to watching your channel buddy!!!
Thank you Grampie, for watching and sub! I dug a hole like that! lol These little tractors are very impressive that's for sure!
Good video LA. It's definitely a tractor no if's or but's about it. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your's! Stay safe and warm . Later
You have a great Thanksgiving too Mech! Take care my friend!
Thank you very much for showing us how powerful the Massey is. I am sold and looking forward to trying it myself. I am in the market for a new compact Tractor, now I know which one to buy.
Thank you ThinkBFAB Experience! I really appreciate your comment! They are some really good tractor! I think you will love having one!! Please let me know how it goes! Have a good one and have fun with your new tractor!!
Amazing what you can do with that small tractor. Some people say you are pushing the limits of your tractor. But i say that a good operator knows right where the limlt is. Looks like you know right where that limit is!
Thank you for the kind words! I do push the envelope but I wanted the tractor to speak for it's self, good or bad! Thank you again for the comment and have a great weekend!!
Finally a preview of how this little tractor works massey ferguson needs to hire you in the p.r.department great video
Thank you Dwight, for the very kind comment! I wish Massey seen it like you do! LOL Have a good weekend!
Simply said....It's a BEAST! And John, I already told you this, when it comes to anyone taking out stumps, digging deep moat-sized holes, resurfacing top layers of soil, scooping buckets of dirt, or anything else a tractor operator must do.....You...Are..."The Beast Master" who controls the BEAST!! Gitem brutha...Gittem!
Excellent wrap-up review without even saying one word. As Dave said it, Massey should be paying you. I haven't seen any...not any tractor company do any real-world operator's footage like this. They just can't top this. Hey, I wish you and your family a fun and safe Thanksgiving, brother. Be safe man. Don
In reality John, your wrap-up review is how tractor companies , especially Massey, should really do their... "Take A Look At This"... sales pitch. They wouldn't have to say one word. All they would have to do is say....Just take a look at this satisfied user's footage. I'm going to our local Massey dealer and give him the link of your video (if that's OK). He just needs to say to folks thinking about a MAssey, watch this.....BAM!.... then let them see your video. Later.
Hey Don, Happy Thanks giving to you and your family! You know these tractor are awesome for property owners! enjoy your family time Don!
Don, you are way to kind! I hope I proved that they real tractors! Hey whens your next video! I'll be watching for it!
Well i would say by the video you are giving it a great review. As for what i think its hard to say. As i stand back and look at it it looks like a mower on steriods but as i operate it it feels like a tractor.
Now my review of the 1710 is i have no regrets buying it. I absolutely love it. Although i will say my first experiance with snow was a bit dissapointing. I live on a hill and it really struggled with being able to steer while moving snow. What i have read is to add weight to the front of the tractor and possible add chains to the front tires. So i think im going to fabricate a box for the front to put some weight in it and try some chains.
Great video.
Hey Scot, they do have some issues because of their size, but the flip side is because of their size you can work in places that bigger tractors couldn't. I hope the weights and chains work so you can clear the snow! Happy Thanksgiving!
You do a great job with these videos, I watch them for two reasons; 1. They are informational and Massey related and 2. Your character, you seem like an honest, straightforward individual and that matters to me. For reasons I will not bother to go into, I hold you above many of the other sites that are not as informative and introduce uncomfortable elements. That said, as you may recall, I too have a GC1710, mine has over 200 hours on it and I voted for Massey by purchasing a 1726e. Affectionately now known as "Little Red" and " Big Red". If you give me a way, I will send you pictures of some of my work and modifications which you can share with your audience. Second note - let's do a little math. Renting a loader-backhoe of this type is about $250 for a half day, which taking into account delivery (sometimes there are charges) the work of loading and unloading, getting to the destination and such, you are lucky if you get 4 hours of work. There are clearly financial benefits to renting it a whole day, a week, or a month, but we rarely get to use them for that amount of time continuously, right? They usually sit for a long time, waiting for "us" to be available. I welcome all opinions here. Moving on with the math, no fees or other charges being considered, you are about half way paid off on your investment. 150 hours divided by 4 (half day rental) = 37.5. That's 37.5 rental periods times $250 = $9,375. Of course this is a rough estimate and we can get this number to go either way with some other assumptions. At the lowest assumptions you are more than a third paid off and using mine above, you are easily half way. Again, thank you for all your efforts, I truly enjoy the information being presented and the integrity with which you do it. Let me know if you would like some of my pictures, I have no plans or desire for a UA-cam channel of my own. After watching the video, I vote that you hold the GC1710 in high regard as a piece of construction equipment and not a glorified mower...I completely agree!!
Carl, I greatly appreciate your comments! You are very kind!! Yes! Email me the pictures to louisianaaquaponics@gmail.com I can't wait to see them! You know, I bought my Massey to do some dirt work. I figured for what I paid for the tractor to do all the work my self. Was way cheaper then the bids I was getting. Anything I get out of the tractor pass that, is just a big plus. So you are so right on the math for just renting one! I really do love the Massey even with the issues I have had with it. Which seems pretty common. Thank you again for watching the videos and I'm glad you enjoy them!
Bruh, Acadia Parish here, any machine that’ll run and have no heating issues is ok in my book. I like them Massey’s, nice tractor that won’t rob ya.
Thank you Harikarikillboy, for watching and the comment! These little Massey are great tractors. I have never had and heating issue with it, and I work it hard. Have a great weekend! See ya in the next one!
Your introduction seems to make you out to be a really caring guy. I'd break bread with you anyday, Bub. Hard to believe your little tractor picked up that big stump around 4 minutes. The best tractor property improvement video I've seen.
Thank you Rodney, for the very kind comment and for watching! I have been very impressed with the Massey. It can do a lot of work. Just what I needed on my property! lol Have a good weekend! See ya in the next one!
@@LouisianaTractorworks I said I'd break bread with you, "anyway." Should've said, "anyday." Corrected.
Lol. That's ok. Thank you!
I've got a emax 25 with the same setup. I don't know if it's a "tractor" or not but it gets a lot of work done. It's like a fork lift in your living room. Rock on buddy.
Thank you Kelly! If you're getting the work done with your EMax 25 then it's a tractor! lol Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
@@LouisianaTractorworks happy thanksgiving buddy. It is a tractor. Hana
John I can see from your video you didn't get this tractor to park it in the shed!!! Like I say, Massey Ferguson's are working tractors!!! You sure proved it!!!
No I did not! I wanted it to do work, so either it works are I'll break it trying to work! LOL!
Good video, it seems you're pretty happy with it. I love my JD 1025R. I didn't look at the red tractors because there isn't a dealer near me. There was green, orange, and blue. All fantastic tractors, so I ended up with the 1025R for a few nit picky reasons.
I am very pleased with it. It's a swiss army knife type of tractor. And it is a tractor. People that call sub compacts over sized law mowers don't know what they're talking about. Yes, a bigger tractor could do more faster, but I don't need that on my 6 acres. It does everything that I need it to do and it does it well.
Hey Justin, a good dealer makes a lot of difference! Like you said they are all good tractor! I'm glad the JD has been good to you! Happy Turkey Day my friend!
@@LouisianaTractorworks I like how you use the backhoe to pick things up. I also have a thumb, but haven't really used it yet. Instead, for picking stuff up, I have this..., you should get one too. :D

I really like that bucket grapple! That will pickup anything you need! Thanks Justin!
Good day LA! That was a great review. Great format. And that was probably a lot of work trying to pull together all those clips from the past and edit into one video. Good job. I'm thinking you like the MF. LOL. They do a lot more than just mowing the lawn. Pretty remarkable actually. Love my Kubota. About 110 hours on it now. Honestly never used or had another tractor but love the one I have. Does the job! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and all the best to you and your family!
Hey GP, Kubota's are some really nice tractors! My best wishes to you and your family! Have a great weekend!
Great video!
Happy Thanksgiving Shane! Thank you very much!
I have a new 1725m, its awesome! Its a powerful little tractor, and its definitely a tractor.
Thank you Caleb, for watching and the comments!! Yes they are awesome little tractors!! Have a good one!
I see most of, if all the issues are with loose bolts. Tractor runs fantastic. Use locktight on those bolts and never have loose bolts again. Im looking to purchase a Massey or Kioti so hreat video. I will probably go for some of those bolts ahead and loctite them preemptively. Great video
Thank you Paul, for watching and the comment! I don't know much about the new model but this Massey has been a work horse. I've done unbelievable things with it. You are right. The thread Locker will do a lot for one. Have a great weekend! See ya in the next one!
Great video! I have a gc2310 and love it. I was wondering what bucket teeth you have on yours? Also if you like it.
Keep up with the videos man I appreciate you.
Thank you MMM, For watching and the comment! That is the piranha tooth bar from BXpanded. Love it!! Made a huge difference in the digging ability of a subcompact tractor. I use it for clearing land as well. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
Nice work
Thank you Evrything, for watching and the comment! Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
Very cool overview video! I've been debating getting a rototiller or a box blade to help level out my yard, similar to what it looks like you were doing. I have a few acres I'd need to work, and don't want to spray grass killer all over the place-- did you have any issue tilling the living grass? Looks like it turned out just fine.
Thank you Joe! I was thinking the same on both but the tiller works so much faster. I cut my grass as short as my SCAG would go. The tiller broke it up quickly. I did make a few passes but that's because of the stuff I was finding. I don't know what you have to deal with on your property but I'm glad I got the tiller.
@@LouisianaTractorworks Good idea on cutting the grass short first, that's sort of what I was thinking too if I went the roto route. In a dream world, I would get both the box blade and the roto, use the box first to stir things up and find any big rocks/debris, then till it to a smooth finish. Guess I better get back to work if I ever want that to come true, haha!
LOL! That would be the perfect set up for sure! Have a good one Joe!
I have a Massey 50 I need to fix the hydraulics on it is week but I can run a blade and brush cutter. You have a great little tractor there. The thumb is handy on the bh. Have a great thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving to you Pete! I can't wait to see you working your Massey! If you have a BH a thumb is a must! lol
Always great vids it's a real tractor
Thank you Rob, for watching and the comment!! Have a good one!!
Great video! I think it's a awesome tractor and I think you reviewed the thumb for the backhoe. Those were 2 different ones right? The second one I liked the best. Witch one you like?
Thank you Porfirio Castillo, for watching and commenting! You are correct that is two different Thumbs. Like you I really like the second one the best! The factory fit thumb works a lot better then the first one. It's a long thumb allowing you to pick up just about anything form a single small branch to a whole tree trunk! Have a good one!
thanks for the review! i just ordered a new 1715 and think its a tractor not a lawn mower. do you use the bucket tooth bar for trees only or needed for digging?
Thank you Joe! Congrats on the new 1715!! I hope it serves you well!! When I dug the Geothermal system. I did most of the digging with the FEL (no tooth bar) but I had the BH to get through the grass and roots. I would say, once you get the 1715 try some digging and if it don't cut. Then I would get a tooth bar for it. Since I got the BX's tooth bar I do everything with it. Thanks again and I hope to see you and the new tractor!! Have a great weekend!!
Happy Thanksgiving to yall as well
Thanks Mike! I would say "Don't eat to much" but what fun is there in that! LOL!
Good video. Where did you get the teeth for the bucket? and what does the buried pipe do?
Thank you Carl, for watching and commenting!! That is BXpanded's "Piranha Tooth Bar" and I absolutely love it, as do many people! The pipe is an attempt at a very,very simple Geothermal system! Thanks again and have a good one!
Awesome. Trying to decide between MF and Mahindra.
Thank you Code Red, for watching and the comment! First! Congrats on what ever tractor you end up getting!! The best thing I learned when looking for a tractor. The thing that is just as important as the tractor is the Dealer. Maybe even more so!! lol No matter what you get check into that dealer thoroughly!! A brand is only as good as the people that keep it going! lol Have a good one and please let me know what you end up getting!!
You ever tried the boom float feature on the backhoe. I new the loader had it but just found out the backhoe does also.
Hey Kenny, yes I did! It's a really cool feature! A long time subscriber gave me some links to video showing. How to use it while digging. ua-cam.com/video/bqh_A0vFb_c/v-deo.html and here's another one ua-cam.com/video/vfMKlOp-IHQ/v-deo.html Have a good one!!
Awesome review. I may be getting this tractor now. How much were the grey teeth on the bucket?
Thanks John Deere, for watching and the kind comment! That would be awesome if you got a Massey, though you might have to change your channel name! hahaha! That is BXpanded Piranha tooth bar it sales for $300 to your door! It is amazing! If you get one you will love it! Have a good one!
Great video just have a regular lawn mower sorry no tractor I wish have a good Thanksgiving
That's ok! My SCAG was my tractor for about 8 years! You have a great one too!
Reason i say that is cuz i had the kubota bx23s and it couldn’t get out of its own way so now I’m now a proud owner of a kubota B2650 compact tractor
CONGRATS on the B2650! Really nice size tractor! Everybody has their reasons for what they like and think about sub compacts but if my SCAG could of done what I have done with the Massey. I would of saved a lot of money and my wife would love me a whole lot more! HaHaHa! I'm sorry the bx23s let you down, that sucks!
Amen bruh!
I have to say very impressive !!! it's a little monster I'm sure you are as impressed as much as me. I have a Mahindra 2538 HST TLB and I have been as equally impressed I am on my second year with it only around 175 Hrs. on it and just like you I have worked it and it always has done what I asked and more!! Came close to being a Massey had priced them all came down to Mahindra or Massey I chose the Mahindra but from seeing what you have done with that Massey I feel I would have been happy no matter which one I chose.
You hit it! All these tractors have differences but no matter which one you have. If your happy with it and you feel you got a good value. Then that is the perfect tractor for you! Glad the Mahindra has been good to you! Hope you get many years out of her! Happy Thanksgiving!
Good job with the video but if you grade with the bucket tilted so much to the back you can cause the hydraulic cylinder to crack or break a different component
Thank you Slawek, for the tips! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!
Hey John, getting mine soon with everything including belly mower, wanna use to plow my garden eventually. Any vids on plowing with these masseys
Thank you Andrew, for watching and the comment! Cograts!! On the new tractor. I hope you get as much out of it as I do with mine. You got some toys with it, that is awesome. I have never use a moldboard, bottom plow, or a buster behind the Massey. Mainly because I don't have any of them lol. I use my tiller and I will be posting videos of a row maker I picked up at the end of last summer for this spring garden. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
I'm happy with my 1526 at 300hrs. Don't forget to check for lose bolts!
Thank you Jeffrey, for watching and the comment! I will keep an eye on them. I usually check them when I do the services. Have a good one!!
Have a small box store John Deere riding mower and that is what it is, a mower. I do pull around a good size cart with it that I use for all sorts of stuff, Has its place. The other is a Mahindra 1526, filled tires, back blade, box blade, 60" Lynx 3 point snowblower and a quick attach lifting boom for the FEL. Does more than the JD 2305 it replaced but after cleaning up my heavier projects, I'm missing the smaller JD. Both had the same HP. The Mahindra has a 3 speed gear which high is useless on anything but running down the road empty. When I hit the hill on my driveway, it slow that sucker right down to nothing. The JD with a 2 speed was perfect and it meshed with one finger. The Mahindra needs a hand full of lever but both are good for their capacities. If I had to say which one could out perform manufacturers claims and surprise the crap out of the user it would be the JD. I consider them both real tractors. One thing to consider and my main reason for going with the Mahindra was the regen. It doesn't have one, don't want one, will never get one. I liked the 2305 so much, I considered selling my new Mahindra and buying a used 2305 which I have located for 11,000, 100 hrs, garaged all its life, looks new. Probably won't happen but who knows. These small tractors are a great buy and can do most anything with them. I'd have been dead by now without mine. Great Video.
Hey John, thanks for subscribing! That Mahindra is a nice size tractor and JD does build a good sub compact Tractor! I'm glad you shared your experience with both and a review on them! Also glad you liked the videos enough to sub. We are glad to have you!
Very impressive machine! I admit I first thought sub compact tractors were glorified lawnmowers until I saw videos like this. I thought you were digging your own pool there for a while. I assume that’s a DIY geothermal system, right?
Yes Sir, all these are clips from previous videos of projects I done! Thanks
Great video. Curious how that heat pump turned out, if you know.
Thank you Platinum 1812, for watching and the comment. The geothermal system had a 6 degree difference but the hurricanes damage the building. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
I have a Massey Ferguson 1428v hydro tractor with loader and love it
Thank you Steve, for watching and the comment! Glad to hear you are enjoying the 1428v. That is a nice tractor. Have a good one! See ya in the next one!
Looking at getting one!
What was the big hole and the coils for?
Thank you Josh, for watching and the comment! It was an attempt at a DIY geothermal system. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
I'm about to go with a 1725M. Amazing how much work you can get out of these machines if you know how. I told my wife it was a lawnmower lol.
Thank you Charles Bienvenu, for watching and the comment! They are great machines. I have never been on the newer models. I hope you have as much fun with yours as I have with mine. The wife will be surprised when you do all the projects with a lawnmower lol. Have a good weekend! See ya in the next one!
Good job
Hey Everything Kubota, Thank you! I was hoping to hear a bit about all them Kubotas and what you like about them. lol Happy Thanksgiving!
Louisiana Aquaponics I think you are really happy with the Massey it definitely shows in your videos. I couldn’t be more happier with my Kubotas. I have six of them now and never had one problem with any of them, not one. The hours range from 300 down to 25 on the different machines I have. Wouldn’t trade them for anything. I need to make a review video of all mine, if I could just get the time to do it. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family also.
I knew it! You can't have that many and not love something about them!! LOL! I would like to see that video! Thanks for sharing!!
Just bought a 2021 gc1725 yesterday
Congratulations!! On the new Massey! Hope you get as much enjoyment out of yours as I do mine. Have a good weekend! See ya in the next one!
I run the 39 hp and it does good most the time but others it can be a little week. I had some equipment stolen lately so im thinking about getting a mini ex or mini skid instead of my mowers and stuff again but just thought about getting the backhoe attachment. Mine is static so im not sure if it will have good power to dig stumps out, so i want your opinions. I want something to dig stumps. I have a grapple bucket for my tractor.
Thank you Caroline, for the comment! That's a hard one! lol I don't know why it seems lacking in power. Do they make a subframe backhoe for your tractor? You don't want to put a 3Pt BH on a tractor. I guess you could use the mini x to dig and the grapple to move and load. As long as you don't need both on the same job. It might be hard to trailer them both. You really need to weigh the pros and cons to all scenario and base a decision off that info. Wish I could have been more help! Have a good one and best of luck!
Awesome video. What is the hole you dug in the middle of the video for?
Thank you Dan!! The hole was for a home made Geothermal system for the Aquaponics. Have a good one and thanks again for watching and the comment!
👍
Thank you Jerry! Happy New Year!!
What is that blade called you added to the bucket and where did you get it? Great video man I just picked mine up yesterday!
Thank you THE LOUIE BRAND, for watching and the comment! That is the piranha tooth bar from BXpanded. You can google them or I have thier link in the description of some of the videos. It works great! CONGRATULATIONS!! On the Massey. Hope you love yours as much as I do mine. Have a good weekend! See ya in the next one!
@@LouisianaTractorworks thanks man!
That little bucket looks like it does some serious damage! It's amazing what engineering has accomplished. These things look like craftsman lawnmowers with some mud tires on them. Come to find out they're like a Swiss army knife of tractors!
Thank you Matthew!! They truly are little beast! Not to much you can not do with them! You are right! The engineering put into all these sub compacts is a work of art. To get out of them what you can with them being so small. Have a good one!!
Hey John around the 6:15 min mark you moved the tractor while operating the backhoe without swiveling the set or stepping on the pedal!?! I saw you put up the outriggers, lift the bucket and you moved forward all while staying at the backhoe side. Please tell me how you do this black magic!!!
Thank you John, for watching and the comment! I leave the parking brake off so I can use the backhoe to push it forward or pull it backwards. This allows me to move with out getting off the backhoe. Here's a link to a video where I talk about how I work my backhoe. ua-cam.com/video/nL3Q9O75JVg/v-deo.html
Hope this will help. Have a great weekend! See ya in the next one!
Stout hydraulics
Might also strap tree stump and roots to bucket to move
Thank you Lyle, for watching and the comment! The hydraulics are very impressive as well as the overall tractor for it's size. Have a good week! See ya in the next one!
Buying a new 1725 TLB with 60” belly mower tomorrow.
CONGRATULATION!!!! I hope you like it as much as I like mine! Great tractors for the size. Can do a lot of projects with them! Have lots of fun and keep me updated on what you think about it! Have a good week! And I'm sure you are, with a new tractor! lol See ya in the next one!

I’m in the market to replace my tires. Can you tell me what brand your r4’s are please? Also are you happy with them?
Thanks MMM, for the comment! I have the Carlisle that came on my GC from new. I have not had any problems with them. There almost 4 years old now and have carried a lot of loads. I do know early on they did have some issues but have not heard anything bad about them since they corrected the problem with them. See ya in the next one!
You can have this trator w a backhoe or next size up with no loader for same price im stuck??
Thanks Jon, for the comment! When looking for a tractor. Look at what jobs (now and in the future) you need the tractor to do the most. What size it needs to be and what implements you will need to use. If you are going to use a lot of 3pt equipment or pulling equipment you might want the bigger tractor depending on the horsepower! If you are going to be doing a lot of digging then the TLB might be what you want to get! I hope this helps and keep me updated!!
Nice looking unit, I bought a mahindra max 26xlt, I started a channel myself. Ill be following along!

Hahahahahaha people gotta come clean on what machine they got! Both of my tractors are farm tractors. I do have a couple of riding lawn mowers though haha. You Massey is a work horse man. 150 hours on a tractor aint nuthin...its still brand new to me. It should last you your lifetime.
You're right on that! A tractor should last a lifetime. It will be interesting to see how well it holds up over the years! Thanks Farmall Fanatic!
John, go to the Tractor Time With Tim u tube channel and check out the new gc series tractor from Massey Ferguson they have some sweet updates .Man i think that i bought about two years two early but man i love my Massey .Tim was at the tractor show and got the first look at the new massey gc1725m check it out.
Hey Thanks Jerry!! I will do that!!
