Dave, I know the Farmi 351 is a heavier unit than the Farmi JL290 that I've seen. What is the pto hp on your JD 1070, the JD 4300 I'm considering has 27 hp. Does the JD 4300 have the power to run the Farmi 351 satisfactorily? Thanks for your input, Jim.

I have been looking at fwd jd 4300 tractors. I am considering the synchro reverse option because it saved almost $1500 off the hydro. However, after reading some of the discussions over the last 6-8 months, I'm getting nervous about spending all this money on what may be an model that does not have all the bugs shaken out. I came across a fwd 1997 jd 870 model and loader with just 75 hours, though the dealer wants $16,700 which seems high. I'm not familiar with the 870's reputation. I would appreciate any comments on whether I should be giving the 870 serious consideration over the 4300. One of the uses for the tractor will be with a winch to haul out logs. Thanks, Jim.
