I have a very early model GC2300 and after 600+ hours I have been very satisfied. Most of the hours have been spent mowing and running a log splitter from a dedicated valve mounted on the rear deck. I mow about 4 acres and have found this type of tractor to be a good cross between a garden tractor and compact utility. They are more maneuverable and low-slung than a utility (which is a big plus for lawn mowing) but are much more rugged and capable than a garden tractor.
Although this tractor (and all sub-compacts for that matter) have a Category 1 hitch it is lower to the ground than a regular tractor. Although most standard implements can be hooked up they may not be able to be raised high enough to be very usable. There are dedicated Cat 1 implements made for sub-compacts available.
The most serious problem I have had is blowing out a seal from the rockshaft control shaft but this was a fairly straightforward repair.
I wouldn't worry too much about the lack of after-market parts support. Any Massey dealer should be able to get anything you need and from my experience needing to obtain repair parts has been a very infrequent occurrence.
These tractors were/are made by Iseki in Japan and I would consider the quality to be equal to the other small Japanese tractors on the market.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
