I got the little fellow (well, my wife bought it if you check some of the other forums... ;) for chores around the place, 4wd, loader, had under 500 hours on it. I used to plant with the 4 row JD 7000 planter with the Ford 7700 on it, but 85 hp was a lot, that tractor has fluid in all tires so weights a ton, and it has a cab which I just hate for planting operations. All my other gas tractors would be better sized for the planter, but all have hydraulic issues, would not lift the planter when full of seed & fert. Plus the 6v tractors & 12v monitor.... So, I tried the 1720 on it when I got it, & planted that way for 2 years now. I travel just a bit too slow, but my yields jumped up 10 bu an acre, so that tells me something! It is kind of humorous to plant corn with my smallest tractor, and then plant beans with the 15 row bean bar on my biggest 140 hp tractor..... I'm sure the neighbors are talking, but at least this way I know why! :) --->Paul
