Info on 70 730

Transmissions are however quite different. The 70 is a FAST tractor when compared to the 730. A 70 in 4th will out run a 730 in 5th! The 70 has a big jump in speed from 3rd to 4th. That jump was closed up in the 730. The 730's hydraulics are substantially improved over the 70 and the 70 does not have a 3 point at all. The power steering is the same on both. Live PTO was an option on the 70. Not sure if ground drive PTO was still available on the 730 or not. I've never seen a 730 with PTO that was not live. Both are good tractors and I enjoy both of mine but there are considerable differences. The 720 and 730 are very much more alike than either is to the 70. The differences between the 720 and the 730 were practically all cosmetic. If I HAD to loose one it would be the 70. Glad I don't have to make that choice they're both great machines, just different. If you're used to A's & B's, it will take you a while to get used to all the knocking. They're not real quiet but are amazingly light on fuel consumption. Al.

Ps.... My 70's previous owner had to give up one of his 3 tractors. He kept the 2 730's & sold the 70 to me.
