Massey Ferguson GC1723E
Attachments that fit.

This GC1723E guide covers the non-backhoe GC1700 configuration in Massey Ferguson’s May 2023 U.S. brochure: fixed ROPS, two-range HST and 18.3 PTO hp. The older 18.7 figure remains a source conflict. Attachment decisions also need the 661 lb rating measured 24 inches behind the hitch pins, rather than the larger pivot-pin number.

Scope of this guideGC1700 May 2023 U.S. brochure · 2-range HST · 4WD · fixed ROPS · non-backhoe. Each configuration below states the model and equipment covered by its sources.

Start with the exact GC1700 identity, then compare power basis and the complete rear load.

  • WCAP5 uses engine hp; WC46 and the current FH-BX42 manual use PTO hp. A shared horsepower number would hide the difference.
  • The three-point hitch is labeled Category I without Limited, but geometry and quick-hitch fit still need measurements.
  • LFS widths and shaft-inclusive weights allow a useful narrower-versus-wider mower comparison; FM-54 needs its Y-blade configuration at this power.

Choose the exact configuration.

18.3 PTO hp

North American GC1723E, exact non-backhoe column of the May 2023 GC1700 brochure, corroborated where possible by the 2019 U.S. brochure: two-range HST, 4WD and fixed ROPS. This is a brochure-generation profile, not a serial-range certification. Excludes the EB/MB backhoe packages, current 1GC successors, earlier GC1705/GC1715 families and Australian-market configurations.

Engine power
22.5 hp · 2019 U.S. GC1700 brochure explicitly labels gross engine horsepower; May 2023 brochure calls the same HP figure rated engine power. No SAE/ISO test standard was established. Printed HP is retained without converting the accompanying kW label.

Where the documents disagree.

PTO horsepower

May 2023 brochure and current comparison index: 18.3 PTO hp. 2019 U.S. brochure: 18.7 PTO hp.

Normalize to the explicitly selected May 2023 brochure scope. Keep the older value visible and require the serial-applicable manual before attachment approval.

Hydraulic flow basis

Brochures say hydraulic flow without circuit basis; current comparison index labels 6.3 gpm as implement hydraulic flow, but its linked product now covers 1GC.

Keep the published 6.3 number descriptive, with total/implement/steering/rear-delivery numeric fields null. Do not infer a circuit split from another market or generation.

FIELD GUIDE

PTO wood chippers for the Massey Ferguson GC1723E

The GC1723E’s 22.5 engine hp and 18.3 brochure-scoped PTO hp support different checks. WCAP5 publishes an engine-based requirement; WC46 and the current FH-BX42 manual specify PTO power. After that distinction, feeding method and a 661 lb hitch reference at 24 inches become more useful than the largest advertised chip diameter.

Flail mowers for the Massey Ferguson GC1723E

On the brochure-generation GC1723E, a mower decision can remain useful without pretending that its tire width or operator-manual implement limit is known. Compare the documented cut and shaft-inclusive mass of the fixed LFS mowers, then keep the FM-54 Y-blade configuration separate from its higher-minimum hammer version.
