  • I forgot to ask........do the John Deere 70's have the new style transmission, or straight 6speed? Or do they have the old style, with the high/low range lever? I've never noticed, but I do know that the 70 replaced the G and the Model G had the high/low range and it would fly out on the road in 6th gear.

  • It has the high/low range shift pattern, and yep, 6th is pretty quick, it's only been used a few times when I've been out on the road. Yesterday I was out with the 70 hauling the round bales in, didn't get a video of it though.

  • Good sounding 70. Looks like you are running in 3d or 4th gear. I have had two old 70 gas tractors and have worked them in the field. They sure do like their fuel! I plan on doing a plowing video in the spring with my 730 gas. Keep up the good work!

  • It was probably either 2nd or 3rd gear, I don't think I ever moved it up to 4th. I agree on the gas, she is a thirsty girl! The 50 doesn't use nearly as much, but then it's not pulling the disk either.

  • @walnutridgefarms its good to see a farmer that knows what he's doing we had a disk like this but it was a 16' bwa we pulled it with a 4020 jd after we plowed all our fields now we just use a offset disk a taylor-way its 8ft offset it would do better that this disk but you would need about a 80hp tractor to pull it great video i will have a tractor soon we sold our tractors when there was no money in farming then we started building houses theres no money in that now so we will start farming lol

  • not as bad as a 3020 gas powershift

  • nice 70 my dads cousin has one and it dosent run and he wont sell it but all it needs is a carb rebuild and a new flywheel but yesterday i drove my niehbors 60 in 6th gear down the lane and holy shit it hauls ass!

  • I agree, your 70 sounds great! I might suggest videotaping yourself pulling a plow with it, it'd REALLY sound good then. :) Keep up the good work! I love to hear those old John Deere's run. I used to a 1951 Model G, but sold it, it was hard on gas. But it was a puller though. LOL
