Topic

Recently purchased a 1998 JD 1070 with 440 loader and 8A backhoe with 300 hrs. Tractor used for cemetery excavation. Would like to purchase a cab and heater for winter snow removal. Is this a feasible option for my 1070 our should I have searched for a factory cab equiped unit? From what I have been reading on the message board I should be very pleased with my purchase. Could someone explain how the syncro-mesh transmission works or benefits over standard transmissions? Understand it is not a hydro! <br>Last tractor purchased was a 332 diesel hydro. Use this L$G tractor for snowblowing. Works fairly well, but isn't heavy enough even with wheel weights for when the snow gets hard. I do realize that the 1070 will be a significant step up and am looking forward many years of service. Presently work in the electroncis industry but would like to have a tree nursery someday. Figured the 1070 would make an excellent tractor for this sort of work. Had been looking into a Bobcat but wanted to be able to engage ground breaking equipment. For I have a farm. Only one question and that is concerning tree spades. Would The 1070 be able to lift a tree spade and the dirt associated with moving trees, provided the root ball wasn't to big without damaging the loader or the tractor. I welcome any complaints, any information, or any comments. Thanks
