Vet, What DO you like? That tractor is a CLASSIC, and darned near impossible to wear out, as well as one of the most fuel-efficient tractors ever made. While the 720 is not the most ergonomically designed machine, many THOUSANDS of acres have been farmed using them. My neighbor (big operator... BIG Deere four-wheel drives) still pulls a 6-row 7000 planter with his 720, and seeds 200 to 400 acres of sunflowers and corn with a 720, as well as mowing, raking, and baling hay with it. I made hay with a 730 for many years, as well as dried hundreds of thousands of bushels of grain and 'flowers with one. Another neighbor still has it, and uses it for haying every year. My neighbor's 720 is pony start, and the 730 I used to own is an electric start. For occasional use, or COLD weather operation., you can't beat the pony start. For a tractor used every day, you couldn't beat the 24-Volt electric start on the 730 for quick and convenient starts, as long as the batteries are kept in good condition.
