Not a 8700 but a TW10, basically same thing. Like it real well, bought it(well) used as a spraying, fertilizer spreading tractor and occasional drilling or light tillage. The only downside is the hydraulic system. It's open center or quasi-closed center depending on how you look at it, flow rate adjustable at the control levers. It works, but the pump capacity isn't all that great. I run an Ace hydraulic driven pump on it, but really ought to either buy an Ace pump designed for open center systems or run it off the p.t.o. I don't know exactly what you intend to use it for, but will say they ride well over rougher ground which I guess is a function of wheel base and position of the operators seat. More like a 4430 Deere than a 1070 Case if you know what I mean.
