Read articles →An owner's first-day delivery video explaining why he chose the Massey Ferguson 1723E over Bobcat, Kubota, New Holland, Deere, and RK after building a price-and-features spreadsheet. He specifically calls out the engine's lower RPM rating and hydraulic specs as differentiators, and shares why he picked his dealer. Actual use is limited to a few laps around the yard; this is a buying-decision explainer, not a hands-on evaluation.
Posted by the Redneck Ed channel, apparently an owner-operator sharing his own purchase decision with no commercial affiliation evident in the transcript.
It came down to price and features, good reviews with no major complaints, and he liked the hydraulic flow specs and lifting capacity compared to competitors.
It's specced at 2600 RPM, well under most competitors in the 22.5 to 23 horsepower range, which run around 3200 RPM, yet it still lifted fine.
Mostly no, except where he spun the tires and had to use diff lock and four-wheel drive, which tore the grass a little but should recover in spring.
They mentioned a pre-delivery inspection where they check a hydraulic spring part, not an official service bulletin, to prevent small issues after ten hours.
