We bought a new tractor

This is a quick, casual update from an owner replacing his previous Massey Ferguson GC1705 (which cracked a rear housing) with the newer 1723E, using it for stump-grinding business work. He points out real changes he's noticed after just 10 hours: relocated loader controls, a power tilt steering wheel, a better seat, and a radiator screen fix. It's not a walkaround or deep dive, more a short personal check-in comparing old vs new model quirks.
