Iam a salesperson at a JD dealer in S.E.PA.We have a BM17995 mid pto kit for your 870 in stock.It is no longer available from deere.The last list price was $441 and I will sell it for that plus UPS charge.
As for the mid mower itself,the 72"is still available from deere at a list price of $3,755.Also,depending on what tires you have you may need a $210 adapter bracket kit.The 870 uses the three pt to raise the mower.Icould sell you the deck for $3,350 plus freight not counting the adapter bracket kit,but your best bet might be to locate a good used deck.I will be happy to ship you the pto kit if you want it.MC,Visa,Discover,leet me know.

Curtis cab makes a heater specifically for that model,part #9PH15S4.It lists for $269.00 and has all the hose and fittings you need,2 speed fan,wiring,switch,etc.You just tee into your radiator hoses.Most tractor dealers should be able yo get it for you,or I think Curtis sells direct.<br>

$19,900 SOUNDS A LITTLE STEEP TO ME FOR A TRACTOR WITH THOSE HOURS,NOT TO SAY THEY ARE EXTREMELY HIGH HOURS.IN MY AREA OF SOUTH EAST PA THAT TRACTOR WOULD HAVE TO BE A VERY LOW HR CREAMPUFF TO BRING CLOSE TO THOSE #S.AS A SALESPERSON AT A DEERE DEALERSHIP I WOULD SAY AN AVERAGE PRICE AROUND HERE FOR 855,LOADER,MOWER IS AROUND $12,000 FOR A NICE ONE AND THE HOE ADDS ABOUT $3000-$3500 TO THE VALUE.THIS ALL DEPENDS ON CONDITION OF COURSE.MY GUESS ON RETAIL VALUE WOULD BE MORE ALONG THE LINE OF $15,000-$16,000,MAYBE $17,000 FOR AN EXCEPTIONAL TRACTOR.YOUR AREA OF NEW ENGLAND MAY SUPPORT HIGHER PRICES.
AS TO YOUR FEAR OF THE DEERE HYDRO,I WILL ADMIT EARLY 4000 SERIES HAD SOME DURABILITY ISSUES MOSTLY RELATED TO THE DIFFERENTIAL.DEERE HAS ADRESSED THESE WITH UPDATED PARTS FOR EARLY MODELS AND ALL NEW MODELS.MOST OF THE PROBLEMS WERE WITH THE 42-4400 MID FRAME SIZE MODELS AND UNDER COMMERCIAL OR HIGH HOUR USE.ALSO,THE LARGE FRAME 45-4700 MODELS HAVE A MUCH BETTER TRACK RECORD.THE 4000 TEN SERIES E-HYDRO HAS DONE GOOD SO FAR.THIS IS NOT NEW TECHNOLOGY,JUST NEW ON A COMPACT TRACTOR APPLICATION.I WOULD SAY THAT JUST AS IMPORTANT AS WHAT BRAND YOU BUY IS HOW COMFORTABLE YOU ARE WITH THE DEALER.TRY TO TALK WITH THE SHOP SERVICE MANAGER IF POSSIBLE.ASK QUESTIONS.CAN YOU GET INTELLIGENT ANSWERS OR JUST PASSING THE BUCK OR INDIFFERENCE.WILL YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THIS PERSON OR PEOPLE WORKING ON YOUR MACHINE OR GIVING ADVISE ON SERVICE ISSUES IF YOU DO MOST OF YOUR OWN WORK. ALSO,WILL THE SALESMAN SHOW YOU HOW TO MOUNT AND DISMOUNT THE LOADER,MOWER,ETC.THIS IS EASY TO DO ON A JOHN DEERE.ANY DEALER THAT IS SERIOUS ABOUT THE COMPACT TRACTOR BUSINESS SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST 1 LOADER MOUNTED FOR DISPLAY/DEMO.IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THE SIZE YOU ARE BUYING,ALL DEERE LOADERS MOUNT THE SAME.THIS IS A SIGNIFIGANT ISSUE IF YOU ARE GOING TO MOW GRASS.IF THE LOADER COMES OFF IN 2 MINUTES WITHOUT TOOLS IT IS SO MUCH NICER TO USE FOR MOWING.TO SUM IT UP,I WOULD RATHER SEE YOU BUY THE TRACTOR YOU WILL BE HAPPIEST WITH THE WHOLE OWNERSHIP EXPERIENCE,REGARDLESS WHAT COLOR IT IS.FIND A GOOD DEALER CLOSE TO YOU.GOOD LUCK SELLING YOUR 855 AND WITH WHATEVER YOU BUY TO REPLACE IT1
