"I bought this tractor used. It's kind of rough cosmetically but runs great. 23 hp. It came with a bush hog and scrape. I purchased a plow to use to break ground. It pulls the 5' hog easily and breaks ground well. Seems very dependable."

"Has always run great."

"Have had tractor 17 yrs now, not many hrs. and only a few issues. Mostly used for mowing pulling a 6ft. woods finish mower. Love the power steering and 4wd. Finally had to replace front turf tires after 16 yrs. still on original rears. Also have 5ft. rear scraper blade, 5ft. King Kutter tiller. Just talked to the Deere dealer about a loader, says a 300 loader bolts right on $4000. Seems kinda steep but getting to old to do it all by hand. Has only failed to start 1 time bad battery cable. I really like this tractor did a lot of investigating before purchasing. Probably have forever to expensive to buy again. Greens been a great color for me."

"This little tractor meets most all my needs. About the only limitation might be traction. It has done most everything I have wanted to do and a lot of things I was told it would not handle."

"Compact, maneuverable, good loader. It always starts, it always runs. Incredibly reliable."

"Purchased 419 loader w/bucket & forklift, 655 rotary tiller, Frontier 60" rear discharge grooming mower, and 72" Frontier rear blade all to use with this tractor. All are sized well for the power level and physical size of the tractor. Tractor has turf tires and works well for snow removal with the rb and loader combination."

"This tractor is a work horse. Five stars for reliability. Twice it has failed to start and both times it was corroded battery connections. I use this machine in a rocky terrain with lug type tires which is a good match. I use front and rear hydraulics with grading, log splitting, jib crane, high lift, back hoe and towing hitch. It is great for getting between trees in the woods and skidding logs out (fire wood and rough sawn). Follow the required maintenance schedule and service should be uninterrupted."

"Great compact tractor. Very reliable if operated within its published limitations and maintained according to schedule. The engine (23-24HP), bucket (1190 lbs @ 18¡å ¨C 755 lbs @ full height), 3 point (815 lbs), and PTO (20 HP) have adequate power for a tractor of this size. I have used this tractor on a 5 acre property to plow snow, level the ground, move dirt, redo fencing, and cut the fields with no problems. Tractor has started every time with the first turn of the key. It suits my needs well and I am happy to have purchased it.

"I love my JD 770 so far. It has a lot of hours but it was well taken care of. I bought it from a local small college so it's in very good shape. Seems to have plenty of power for plowing snow but that's all I have used it for so far."

"I bought my 4WD JD770 with agricultural tires new in 1997. It was purchased with the 70 loader, a set of 5 front weights, and a brush cutter. I had the back tires filled with chloride and made a 600 lb 3-point counter weight to use when doing more than trivial dirt moving with the loader. Since then I've added a a 3 point mounted PTO weed sprayer, a landscape rake and a manure spreader to the list of implements for this tractor. This tractor has been as reliable as gravity. It always works. It addition to regular maintenance like oil changes and greasing it has only needed a new seat, one new battery cable, two light bulbs, and two batteries in the time I've owned it. I get on it, it starts and runs like new. It has plenty of power for it's size, is easy to drive, and with the added weight in the tires really has some pull for tasks like pulling bushes out of the ground, etc. It will run all day with the brush cutter clearing pastures on a tank of fuel. I am very pleased with it."
