I have a chance to buy a JD 1070, 1997 38 hp, 440 front end loader, canopy lists for 750.00, 4wd ag tires with 31 hrs! He is asking $14000.00. All the locale JD dealerships 4ea and my bank say the tractor is only worth 11000.00. All the same tractors Ive seen on the internet are about what he is asking. HELP!!!

IF YOU'RE NEEDING A TRACTOR FOR THE LONG HAUL, BUY IT---THE NEW JOHN DEERE'S ARE PLASTIC JUNK---WIRES HANGING ALL OVER--POOR HYDRAULICS & LORD KNOWS WHERE THE COMPONENTS WERE MADE---I HAD ONE OF THE NEW ONES AND TRADED IT FOR A KUBOTA---MUCH BETTER TRACTOR FOR THE $$

JD 5000,5003,5005,5010,5020 or just a JD hater who likes Kubota?

P.S.

Typing in capitals is shouting and very rude.

I would risk an 5003 if a 2WD tractor would do. About the only place I would use one is power a pto auto start standby generator. Costs about the same to purchase a tractor and install automatic starting and monitoring than purchase a skid motorgenerator set. Plus it's still a usable tractor. The 5005 can be had with M4WD. Both the 5003 and 5005 are stripped down simple tractors. They are no more complicated than a 4020. The deluxe 5000 and early 5010's rated right up there with the early 2010 diesel. If given one I would trade it for something else. The 5020 deluxe series have more complex systems but they will do and monitor status that the simple tractors won't. The latest round of de-bugging as 5025's may make them usable. There are a bunch or engineers and corporate executives who should be demoted to scrubbing toilets. As for repairs, I'll take my chances with electrical equipment Vs a rusted up binding linkage/leaking hydraulics. Anyone with basic electrical trouble shooting skills and a muiltimeter can find and an open,high resistance path or a short. Even on nuclear reactor fuelling and inspection equipment. The electric drives/controls are far less trouble than hydraulics or mechanical. The electronics provide high engine efficiency and economy than any mechanical system can. Run the numbers of how much fuel a As for plastic fenders and tanks. please bring them on. I'm tired of rusted out fenders and fuel tanks with pin holes in the bottom. Off topic but considering the future.As for these people out there paying more for a 32+ year old 4020 than it cost new? Run the numbers and you will see a 6403 or 6603 will walk all over a 4020 in productivity. M4WD is even better. And not just having a new tractor under warranty and avoiding old equipment leaks & wear. The 6603 will pay for it's self in fuel saving Vs. the cheaper 4020.

The compact Deere tractors of that era are rebadged Yanmars. Deere owns part of Yanmar but I assume a pile of Deere stock is held by the Japanese. The hydrostatic tractors of the time were the 755/855/955. The 1070 was an economy priced gear drive tractor. More efficient if used on steady speed heavy draft loads. Used prices for tractors small enough to park in a standard auto garage spot with a loader are out of sight. High demand from Market Farmers, hobby farmers, golf courses, plant nurseries,orchards and rural estates that require snow removal/large lawn cutting. Also explains why there are old pelters of small tractors 40-60 years old are still on the go. While the larger models of the same era were scrapped long ago. Little old 9N/2N/8N Fords, Fergusons etc still around everywhere.

that model was always a little pricey and thus not a really good seller. it is a compact and not able to handle big work, but fine for small acreage. it could not hurt to try to "make a deal" if you really want it.
