B.B. Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I sold a few things including my little New Holland TC45D I've had for years and bought a new Case IH 70A at the local dealer. I bought it with the intention of light bush hogging here around our house, and maybe up at farm some. A little light loader work and just general chores. I haven't ever had a new tractor before so I was pretty excited about it. Hopefully it serves me as well as the little New Holland did. 27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandhiller Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 That looks handier than a pocket on a shirt. I would love to have that size with fwa. The ol' 656 is having a hard time getting bales in to the weaned calves with the greasy ground that is there since the nice rainfalls I have been receiving. 😂😂🥺🤣🤣 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was my first and I wouldn't have done it without your inspiration. Nothing special but it's now a useful tool again. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.B. Posted July 12 Author Share Posted July 12 Picked up this nearly new 72" rotary mower from a buddy who bought it new and then hadn't really used it in last couple years. Tractor seems to handle it well. Really could of used a 7' one but the price was right on this and it's not really ever been used. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHEnnis Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Be prepared to replace a neutral start switch or two as well. When they start going bad you have to wiggle the h and l lever in the neutral position to get it to crank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryangpayne Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Looks like a good rig, we bought a 75c a couple years ago for misc small jobs and have put 1100 hours on it so far. Has Been a good little tractor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
