EC IA | We have a 8970, use it for planting and strip-tilling. It has the standard hydraulics and is still enough running a 16r strip-till bar with dry box. Just replaced the engine that let go this spring during planting- only $20k to get a reman put back in.. Just had the hyd pump rebuilt, 6 new tires on it.... we'll be keeping it for a looonng time. But its a nice tractor to run. Bought a 8670 as a utility, hay & planting tractor this year cuz they are good tractors. Transmissions are the smoothest of any brand in that era. | |
