The video is a practical how-to focused on that one job, removing pins, fitting the adapter, and demonstrating a bucket change, with brief notes on greasing and a root rake attachment. Best for GC1725 owners considering the same Retail Rems add-on.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on experience from his own property, with no stated affiliation to Massey Ferguson or Retail Rems.
Remove the two 8 millimeter allen bolts and pins holding the bucket, then fit the adapter in their place with the open end to the rear, securing it with the supplied pins.
Yes, grease them regularly. The owner has seen pins wear badly on a tractor that was not kept greased, and says this applies to any backhoe.
The owner says after not quite a year and a half it has been great, very useful and handy, lifting serious rocks, though side hills are a challenge like with any subcompact.
