The Case 70 series were/are good tractors from the start. As said before, properly used and maintained, the powershifts will last a very long time.I was talking to my service manager at the dealer I deal with and he said while it is not cheap to overhaul the RPS, can you get 20-25 years out of it again? "Certainly" was his answer, properly maintained and used ofcourse. Many of them still have not been opened up, although they may not have that many hours on them even after 30-39 years of use on them. My 770 has not yet been touched, and has a broken tach with 6877 hrs. Keep in mind, anyone that doesnt like any color for any reason can find a way to put down that particular brand or model. That being said, I was raised with IH, still have it, and it has been good to me. I bought my 770 two years ago, and yes I put some money into it, but it has been a great tractor. I will be buying another, a 1570 as soon as I am done with the tax man. The 70 series, in my opinion, are very good machines for the money.Also, as said earlier, pretty good on fuel. It would be better to get one with an eight speed manual if you can find one. An 1175 is one of Case"s best. Like anything, if you can find one that is not abused, a very good brand and size to have.
