I recently saw an add for a 710 w/loader for sale. It says it has a gas engine, picture of it looks pretty good. I'm not familiar with this model. Can someone tell me a little something about them. Is it a model of the '10 series of tractors from the 60's? Thanks in advance.

Greg,
710's were made in Mannheim Germany. they were built in'66 and '67. they were 50hp, with engines similar to the US built 2020's(which is better than being similar to the 2010's). The tractors were sold in Canada and Europe. This info. was found in Don Macmillan's book "JD Tractors Worldwide" 1994. Hope this helps.
Bill

The 10 series tractors (310, 510, 710) were built in Germany during the mid 60s I am a JD service technician and certified JD nut however I am at a loss to say many good things about these machines The big thing about them was the poor hydraulic system. In talking to people who operated them when new, you would come to the headland when plowing and be unable to lift the plow and steer at the same time. I cant think that a loader operation would be any better. Compared to, for example a 1020 of the same age the 710 hydraulics were crude to say the least. I dont like to talk down anything Deere built but I havent made my last mistake either. We still see them around here today-the tech manual is a tough read and parts are getting touchy to get. I made reference to the 1020 . If you need a tractor of the 710 size the 1020 is similar although not as powerful.(about 40hp I think) Parts are still available and the hydraulics are much the same as all the utility JDs up to and including the 55 series. Hope this doesnt burst any bubbles but rather avoids any disappointment. Bob.

Bob,
Thanks for the information regarding the 710 series tractor. I too am a fan of all Deere products, but I would rather hear the negative now than experience it after forking over good money for a problem. I have a '70 model 820 3cyl. diesel that I have had for many trouble free years. I gather my German model is of better quality and/or design than the German 10 series. I have been looking for a loader and recently came across the 710 in the local adds at a price considerably less than most loaders alone cost. I guess now I know why.

I have thought about putting a loader on my 820, but, being a JD tech, you know what the price of a new Deere loader is. Last quote I had from my local dealer for a new 520 loader was $4900 complete. I have kept my eyes open for a used JD loader here in NC, but you don't come across them often. Most used loaders for sale here are made for Ford/New Holland. Could you give me some insight into which model JD loader (48, 148, 146, etc.) would work for me if I happen to locate one?
Thanks again for your help. Greg

Hello Greg Sorry to take so long in getting back to you. YOU have an 820! Thats great. They are a good little tractor and hard to believe but they came out of the same factory as the 10 series. The advancement in the hydraulics jusst shows what a bit of Deeres research and development can do. If you want to put a loader on the 820 the John Deere 48 is a perfect match. (this is what is on my 1020) These loaders although 30 something years old are still competetive with current productionI like the quick attach feature which for the age is still quite handy. If you do come up with one for your tractor there are just a couple of things to watch for. When attaching the mounting frames clean all paint dirt and rust off of the mating surfaces,then torque the hardware to spec.(if you cant find specs check back with me here) After some use check and retorque as required. When connecting the hydraulics the supply line will connect just down stream from the priority valve.The return line MUST go back to the filter base This ensures enough oil gets back to the front pump quickly and improves performance greatly. If you cannot come up with a Deere loader the hydraulic connections will still be the same however you must be sure that the control valve that comes with the loader is for a CLOSED centre hydraulic system or is convertable from an open centre type valve to closed type. This isnt as complicated as it sounds but is vital to the operation of all hydraulic functions on the tractor. Check back with me or a local JD guy if you need more info on this. Regrdless of what loader you put on rear ballast is important too. Not only does it help with traction but it saves the front end components (wheel bearings axle pivot etc) as well. Since my 1020 does most of the work around here the weight barrel is quick attach so its there when needed or out of the way easily when its not. Once again I hope this helps you and it gives me a chance to tlk Deere which is always fun.
