hcminis 1,700 #1 Posted October 11, 2016 Put the 701 to work Saturday. We had the main water line break from our well to house. Needed to dig a hole that was 5' deep and 4' in diameter to gain access. The easy part was filling it back it...OH...also pretty fun. Work smarter, Not harder. 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 18,703 #4 Posted October 11, 2016 Filling fun...I will bet digging hole not so much. Great to older horses still doing there job. In 50 years how many MTD/ big Box machines will still be functioning. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RandyLittrell 3,906 #5 Posted October 11, 2016 You need one these on your 701! We dug out a stump and replaced a retaining wall last summer with the 1277 and loader. Randy 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hcminis 1,700 #6 Posted October 11, 2016 Used to have one on a Bolens but took up waaaay too much room. Probably should've kept it. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougC 2,643 #7 Posted October 11, 2016 It's nice to be able to put the shovel down and sit down and grab a steering wheel to finish the job. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RandyLittrell 3,906 #8 Posted October 11, 2016 Really great 701, amazing what can be done with a 7 horse when all the new ones are 18 to 30 HP. I would take that 701 over any new tractor! Randy 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was happy to retire after 48 years. These will still be going strong long after I`m gone. Wish I could take one with me.... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
