Overview
A Case IH farmer gives an unscripted, critical walkaround of a loaner Farmall 70A he was stuck with while his own 55A was in for warranty work. He flags specific gripes: sloppy shuttle lever requiring manual clutch, uncertain gear engagement, premature paint fade, an uncomfortably high seat, a recurring seat-switch fault, a PTO code, and a hydraulic oil leak. Useful for anyone cross-shopping entry-level Farmall A-series models.
An owner-operator on a small Pennsylvania farm and excavating business, so the criticisms reflect real daily-use frustrations rather than a sales pitch.
