Just spent the last two years BPS, my birthday money and the change from the back of the sofa on this.
Might even be a future classic. 🤞
neighbor had one of them. Uni went on shaft from engine to gearbox. Destroyed the auto steer valve and hydraulic pumps. 18 months later a hose blew near the exhaust spraying oil all over it. Tractor is still sitting where it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

we have one of those, a great thing for heavy cultivation, check the short prop shaft between the engine and gearbox for rattles ours went and knocked the hydraulic pump off :inpain:
It's a common failure I'm led to believe. Should be serviced/changed every 2000hrs If I remember correctly neighbors one did over 20k damage when it spat the shaft off.

Whats wrong with them? Does the ivt give trouble in the 7020 series?

Rough as hell even with suspension. Some I’ve driven were power shift which is work of the devil anywhere but in the field.

None I’ve driven were great power wise.

I know of plenty of 7720, 7630,7730 all basically the and machine still going strong at 15000 hrs. 20 were still tier 2 so engine was better but if I had to buy a Deere it would be a 77-7920-30 ivt is only option

Do the 30 series run the 6.8 litre engine?

Probably a luxury but it'll be used most days.

The powershifts were indeed horrible unless you really concentrated on what time we're doing, nice enough for fieldwork tho.
