Thinking about a 1070

Chances R · May 9, 2009

Thinking about buying a 1070 in the future for grading gravel driveways and dirt lots. Also to use it to pull a land plane. Any thoughts at to wether this would be a good choice. Any years better than others, was there a choice in transmissions.

Also what is the top road speed.

They have an 17 MPH road gear with 34 inch wheels. As far as the model year, the newer, the better.

Yes, you could get a powershift or an eight speed manual. The eight speed was kind of pokey on the road though, it is also very sturdy, and trouble free. I have a 1070 with an eight speed, and it has been the most trouble free tractor I have ever owned. The 1070, if it had decent maintainence in its previous life, will be a good tractor.

A 1070 is probably one of the best Case tractors ever. Big motor that will last forever. I have an 8 speed manual transmission model that was put on the dyno after a new PTO clutch pack was installed-130 hp with the pump still sealed and over 10,000 hrs on the tach. The motor has never been touched. It is simply a good tractor, although it is a 1978 late model. I can't give you any ideas about the powershift tranny as I have never owned one (or driven one). Don

Good tractor that offers both the 540 and 1000 PTO...

We use it as a general field tractor and a bale loader...

I was hoping for a little faster, say 25 mph. I will have to do a lot of road miles.

Thanks for the help!!

Hey Don, How did you squeeze 130 ponies out of your 1070? I was thinking they were rated around 100 horse.
