Best tractor for next year, IH 1066 or Case 1370?

I think I already know what needs to be done, but don't want to spend the money for hauling. My 1370 is here, the 1066 is in Nebraska. The Nebraska tractor might see 30 hours a year moving hay and snow.Back here gets a lot more hours. I have an agreement back in Nebraska with a neighbor to keep the farm plowed out from snow and animals fed with big round bales, using my tractor as he does not own one. He keeps maintainance up on it and a 861 Ford so I or he can keep the farmyard up, my renter does what he can, but has cancer and is slowing down. Anyhow, 1370 is leaking from power steering. PTO adapter slid off and PTO shaft is hammered. 1066 only has less than 500 hours on new TA and injection pump. No PTO adapter needed for 1066. Big fly in ointment if I don't get the 1066 is my Ford 5000 Row crop still has MAJOR steering issues once warmed up. DOUG
 
I am kinda confused about what you have going on. It seems like you have livestock in Nebraska and your neighbor uses your 1066 to feed them, and I guess plow out your sister in town. The 1370 in Illinois is down with a bad pto shaft and the power steering leaks. If so, and you take the 1066 how will the livestock get fed ? Or your sister get plowed out ? It seems the 1370 could be fixed for about what it would cost to haul the 1066 to Illinois. I would fix the Case. Pto adapters are cheap.
 
Guess I didn't make myself clear enough. The 1370 is going to Nebraska where it will see limited use, the 1066 is coming here where it will see lots more hours. DOUG
 
I am just trying to understand. This 1066 is used for feeding livestock and snow clearing and it only gets 30 hours a year ? That is about a weeks work at our place in North Dakota. What exactually do you use these tractors for ? Do they both have loaders ? If the Case is going to Nebraska dosen't it have to get fixed anyway ?
 
Bone yards will have the pto shaft for the 1370 for about $200. We have one on the way now. Easy to fix. Drain oil and pull the pto housing off. Few bolts and lines and one wire. Big snap ring pliers and out comes the shaft.
