This 1997 John Deere 1070 Compact Tractor, with only 1,266 original hours, is powered by a Yanmar 1.9L 4-cylinder diesel engine, delivering 39 horsepower (35 PTO HP) through a 9F/3R synchronized gear transmission with a two-stage clutch, recently replaced according to the previous owner. The tractor is equipped with a John Deere 440 front loader featuring a Quick Park frame mount, single-lever control, a 72″ heavy-duty bucket with a bolt-on toothbar, John Deere-style quick-attach, a 1,200-pound lift capacity at the pivot pin, and a 2,375-pound breakout force. It includes a Category 1 3-point hitch with draft control, a drawbar, a 540 RPM rear PTO, a differential lock, power steering, and agricultural tires (rears liquid-filled for ballast). Finished in John Deere Green with new front tires and a new battery, this 1070 is now offered with a clean title in excellent condition, freshly serviced with no leaks or mechanical issues, ready to work.
The tractor is finished in John Deere Green, featuring a robust steel chassis and composite hood, complemented by a heavy-duty cast-iron front axle. The exterior, with all original paint, was professionally cleaned in 2024, showcasing its well-cared-for condition after being stored indoors by the previous owner, who used it primarily for pasture mowing on a small farmette. The agricultural tires, with liquid-filled rears for stability and new front tires, provide excellent traction for mowing or loader tasks, with the differential lock ensuring grip on uneven terrain.
The open operator station includes a folding ROPS, a standard seat, and a basic gauge cluster for monitoring fuel and engine status. The 9F/3R synchronized gear transmission, with three ranges and three gears per range, shifts smoothly, and the two-stage clutch operates properly, ideal for precise control during PTO or loader work, with a top speed of approximately 15 mph (24 km/h). Power steering enhances maneuverability, and the 3-point hitch, with a lift capacity of approximately 2,000 lb at 24″ behind the lift point, supports implements like a 6-foot bush hog. The 440 loader’s 1,200-pound lift capacity and bolt-on toothbar make it robust for larger jobs like material handling or landscaping.
The Yanmar 1.9L (4TNE88) 4-cylinder diesel engine produces 39 horsepower at 2,600 RPM, known for its reliability, easy starting, and simplicity without emissions systems or electronics, making it easy to service and maintain. With no computers, this pre-emission engine is built to last, with many 1070s still operating in commercial settings at 3,000–5,000 hours. The open-center hydraulic system delivers 9.1 gpm (6.3 gpm implement, 2.8 gpm steering) at 2,500 psi, supporting the loader and PTO tasks efficiently.
This John Deere 1070 is a good, solid compact tractor with low hours for its age, featuring a powerful 440 loader with toothbar, a reliable pre-emission engine, and a well-maintained, shed-kept condition, making it an ideal choice for mowing pastures, handling larger loader jobs, or property maintenance, built to outlast newer models with decades of dependable service.
