"With 4WD, back wheels inverted, and liquid in the tires, this is a "billy goat" of a tractor on extreme hills. Great fuel efficiency. Always starts. Low center of gravity. I started with 60 raw, rough acres and this tractor. Put over 1000 hours on it. The acres look a lot better, and the 1070 is looking a bit worse. I may get another tractor someday, but I'll never get rid of this one."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Efficient. Reliable. Safe. Enough power for the job.Cons: Original OEM parts a bit expensive (JD tax).Type of User: Homeowner 50-100 AcresLocation: USA TNI also considered buying:

"I bought this tractor for lack of better words. My hunting addiction, after owning it for a few years, I put a new Bush Hog 2045 loader on it and couldn't be happier. It's a two wheel drive and is sometimes used as a dozier around the farm. I've always been amazed how easy it starts in cold weather. The old gal is showing her age now and I'm having to replace a few parts here and there (left axle & sway link). This is a true work horse for its size. If you are thinking about buying one, jump on it. Also this thing uses very little fuel unless using a Bush Hog in the tall stuff. :)"

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Plenty of power, starts any time all the time, small enough to pull on a 16 ft. trailer.Cons: Parts are getting hard to find.Type of User: Homeowner 10-50 AcresLocation: USA MSI also considered buying:

"This 32hp tractor is quite a machine for little jobs! Front wheel assist is a life saver! I can get into small places to clean pens, work a calf roping lane, and pull trees. Still hefty enough to plant acres of grass, no-till wheat plots, and use 3-pt. disc and blade.Only downfall is not enough hydraulics to lift large round bales! Will haul the small ones, around 800#, but no bigger. Would like to try a 3-pt spike on the large ones, but don't have it yet."

Pros: Durable, reliable, easy to maneuver.Cons: Need a little more horsepower.Type of User: Homeowner 10-50 AcresLocation: USA OKI also considered buying:

"I traded down sizes from a MF 265 tractor. There was not the need for the larger tractor anymore due to downsizing. I looked for a year before settling on my JD 1070 with a FEL.I checked and changed all the fluids and filter that required serving. Very cheap to operate. One of my FEL hoses leaked and the bucket would drift down. One hoses and (2) repaired cylinders corrected that.I am well pleased with its ability to lift and move 1300 lbs. rolls of hay. Very good tractor."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Overall pretty good for a 23 year tractor.Cons: Getting use to running the RPM's so close to the redline mark.Type of User: Homeowner 1-10 AcresLocation: USA GAI also considered buying:

"This has been a very reliable and tough machine. At 39 horsepower, it has done a lot of grading, raking and bucket work. The backhoe attachment has been very useful and would be hard to do without. The bucket pins are pretty badly worn at this point, and the clutch froze up when I parked it in a field too long. However I know if I get that clutch replaced this winter, it will be back in business. Tried to free the clutch already several times with no luck. Can't get at it from the inspection cover (breather) either. What a great machine its been though for 20+ years."

Pros: Tough down to earth machine.Cons: Pushing in that clutch pedal is getting tiring!Type of User: Commercial LandscapeLocation: USA WII also considered buying:
