I spent many hours in one like my new to me tractor for a neighbor many years ago. I felt so good to be in a 70 series tractor again. Can't wait to put her to work in the field!

I have been helping a good friend of mine with farmin' now for awhile. I am waiting for my neighbor to combine my soybeans, then I get to play in the dirt. LOL I'll try to post more pics of the 1070 also at a later time. Thanks for asking though. Kow Farmer (Kurt) [Reply]  [No Email]

No takers. I was honest with everything that was mechanically wrong with the 1850. So I think it scared people away. So I caved into the salesman at the CaseIH dealer and traded the 1850 in with some bucks to boot. I'm happy to get the 1070 anyway. Sorry I couldn't get yours. I couldn't pass this one up. Since my neighbor owned it since new-'78? So I had good confidence buying it, since I know the history of it. I hope I didn't let you down. Kow Farmer [Reply]  [No Email]

They were some tough tractors. There's a lot of 70's still earning their keep in our area. Our 1370 does all the chopping here. Good luck with the 1070. [Reply]  [No Email]

Went to the local MF dealer looking for a grain table. Saw a combine that peaked my interest. Asked about it and it was already sold, but he had a line on another one, turns out it was only 10 miles from my house. MF dealer gave me contact info for farmer, bought it directly from the farmer(with the head I was after originally), drove it home, gave a commission to the dealer. Dealer makes a little and never touches it, I saved some money because the dealer doesn't have to handle it directly. [Reply]  [No Email]

This is one of the times the internet worked in my favor, since it was on a local dealer website. I worked a deal with the salesman so I didn't have to drive it home from the dealership. The tractor never made it to the dealer though. I got her fresh from the farm. Kow Farmer (Kurt) [Reply]  [No Email]

I spent a lot of hours in the late 90's helping a freind with a couple of 970's with cabs. One of the easyest operating tractors I've ever operated. Did tillage, hay cutting, chopping both corn and hay. Really liked em, just wish they were in my current budget. Rick [Reply]  [No Email]

Would like to have a 40-70 hp tractor with decent hydraulics and PS. Plus my budget isn't much. We are trying to get the family farm going again with us doing the field work and harvesting.....the catch is without debt. Would be nice to have one tractor on the haybine and one on the baler (requires 70 PTO HP). I'm posed to jump on what ever comes up that fits that months budget! Only going to be haying/tilling about 70 acres to feed our critters. Ain't engouh to make it with grain for market but I can rasie and sell criters without paying out lots for feed. Very happy for you sense you found what you were looking for and close to home too! Now if you would just let me borrow it for the next decade or so..... :shock: Rick [Reply]  [No Email]
