Ford/New Holland 8770 experience

[Mikin87]

Hi
Planing to in the near future to by a tractor nr 2 as the need for one bigger tractor to work the round baller as we are getting more acres from next year and with ony one tractor it will take a lot of time. Have been looking into the 70 series as I really like this Ford era tractors.
But it is not many of these here in Norway so I have to check other places for people with experience in these tractors

I have had 2 in my time and hard to fault really, and better in a lot of respects than the Case Magnum derived replacement.

If you are buying it for a round baler I think only the 8670 had 540 PTO

We had an early (1993) G170, which was the Fiat version. It had the mk1 supersteer axle and it was a lot of bother. Rest of the tractor was fine.

Does the tranny give any trouble same as the 8030 fords?
