Can not comment on the Deere or the 8970 directly, but I do run an 8670. I really like the tractors performance in the feild, quite fuel efficient, very easy to operate, smooth ride and good power. The only complaint we have (6000 hours)is that for the last 2-3 years we have begun to have electronic troubles that are becoming a nusance and everything is a $400.00 fix. A_C relay under roof, 3 pt potentiometer, fuel shut off solonoid, dash just quits and tractor will start but not go any where has been sent away 2 times no problems found, mechanically hydraulic oil filter housing snapped off, and water pump. the lat two were not to bad to repair and at these hours some things are expected it is the electronic ones that are a concern. Otherwise love the tractor and its still here.
