well i would go witha g except i would also like to be able to put the lift arms on during the off season or during hayseason so i could have a second tractor to help move in the bales and mow hay and such thats why i was woundering about the 720-730 series tractors

I personally would choose the 720, or 730 just because the slower first gear. with the slower first gear, if the things running good, just add weight brackets, and a good set of sharp tires, and you're there. you don't have to necessarily change your engine, or your tractors integrety to enjoy pulling it. Then when you're done take the pressed wheels off, put back on the originals, and your ready to work or parade. The 70 model is a good tractor, but it would need more work to be a good pulling tractor. I've seen a few late model A's {50-51} models out pull 70's, just because of that fast first gear of the 70.

A 70G rowcrop can get into the 6500lb class no problem. Toss the fenders,install steel disk wheels & aluminum front rims for less weight. Even a stock powerplant cannot be stalled on any track at 6500lb weight. The high speed 1st is an advantage in the low gear only classes.

G. Taylor,
I know what you are saying about the 70, but you are still gonna have to change some things to get into the lower class's, and in near stock configuaration 70's just don't have the power for the upper classes. Now mind you, on a dry track all the lower gear ratio of the 720 and 730 will get your is spun out at 150-200. But put that tractor on a power track with good tires in the 7500-10,000 pound classes, and watch it shine, even in first gear. Thats why I feel they are so special. Alot of people get pissed because they pull so slow, but I just love watching them craw past people that had just spun out,or powered out while pulling at Hay Raking speed while the 720-730 will travel by at a measly 1.5-2mph. I have no experience with the oil burning two lungers, but I do know a person can have alot of fun with a gas stock 720 or 730 with a good set of tires, and some homemade angle iron weight brackets. By the way G Taylor, why arn't the 70's reworked as often as the G's and GM's? Is it the initial price of the tractors by comparison, or are they set up so differently so that modification becomes difficult? Later on Greg H.

For a strictly pulling tractor a G is lighter to begin with & can be stripped even lower. Many G's have bee updated with the 70 head,manifold & even a water pump for power & longitivity. We pull the 40 in the 3500lb, 435 in the 4500lb, the 50 in the 5500lb 70G in the 6500lb, the 70D & 720D in the 8000lb & 80 in the 10,000lb. Saves dragging weights around.Would like to find a little Deere for the 2500lb class.

If diesel, a rowcrop 720 blackdash or 730. If gas any rowcrop 70 through 730 are ground pounding machines as well.
