Hi folks,
I just heard through the grapevine at work about someone about 40 minutes from me
who has a G707 diesel, apparently in good running original condition, and is
willing to part with it for a song. I know very little about the 705/707's, but
have always loved the large moline units, at the price/distance is almost too
tempting to pass up.
I can't justify it for my own farm (too many projects on the go, but might be able
to find a use for it at Dad's as the large tractor on the place. I'm told by
someone who ran it years ago that they think they remember it having the live pto
option. I have a hard time believing this, but it would certainly add to the
appeal.
Anything I should look for if I take a gander at this? I'm thinking it would pull a
4-16 trail plow and 16' disc quite nicely. If it indeed had the live PTO option
(which I doubt), possibly even a round baler? How did the live PTO option work on
these? Was it truly live, or was it independent?
Any thoughts on this greatly appreciated.
Daniel
