Read articles →This is Massey Ferguson's official factory overview of the GC1700 series, narrated by a company product specialist walking through both the 1700M and 1725M models side by side. It covers operator station layout, PTO controls, hydrostatic range selector, loader joystick, ROPS options, and maintenance access points in detail, but it's a features-and-controls tour, not a hands-on field test with real work or pricing. Best for buyers wanting a controls orientation before a dealer visit.
Produced by Massey Ferguson North America itself, so expect a factory-narrated feature walkthrough rather than independent or hands-on testing.
The GC1725M comes with more premium features like an armrest, rear work light, taillight, and brush guards, while both share the same 1.1 liter Isuzu diesel engine.
Yes, it has independent rear 540 RPM and mid 2000 RPM PTOs that can run by themselves or at the same time, controlled by yellow handled levers.
Tractor and tractor loader models get a short fixed ROPS for garage parking, while tractor loader backhoe models get a taller foldable ROPS for backhoe headroom.
Under the seat is an implement lift speed control knob. Turn it left or right to increase or decrease the speed the lift arms move.
