7020 farm tractor

I am new to the 7000 series were there black and red belly 7020s? other then the coolant filter is there any other things to look for? and also how does the powershift work on these? did they have any major week points? Thanks

factory door opener mechanism was weak but I sell an after market door shock kit!  PM me if more info is needed!  tom

first that would require a 7020 tractor first

Youngorane2000, The 7010,7020,&8010s all ustilized the 301 6cylinder Diesel engine. The exception is that the 7020’s was turbocharged & intercooled. The 7010&8010 were only turbocharged. All 3 had good transmission options either 20 speed PD or 12 speed PS. If previous 7020 owners didn’t over fuel it’s engine & overload it, then there’s a good chance it should be as reliable as the the somewhat lesser hp 7010&8010.
If it’s higher hp is more than your discbine requires, then that may be ok? The 301 is fuel efficient and you’d have extra hp for other future possibilities. Have you view it? Started & driven it yet?

thanks for the info 7060. I am thinking it should handle the mower as it requires 90-100hp I am just worried about the powershift being expensive to fix if it had problems. I have a feeling a cheap powershift is too good to be true

Yes that’s usually a consideration for most tractors - previously maintained or not. Just a suggestion, but If you get it cheap then at least splitting it to check/replace TL, replace seals, check/replace worn clutches, & secure adjusting nut might not be as bad as an unforeseen breakdown.
Here’s some links to former forum discussions on the Power Shift issues.

Update I bought the 7020 power shift. I bought it cheap enough if all I do is take the turbo for one of my 190xts its worth it. It runs good and the hydraulics work ( only tried 3 point and steering) how ever it would only move slightly in reverse and not at all in forward. The prior owner said the trans would work intermittently he has sence gotten a diffrent tractor to use and this one has just sat unused for 2 years. I had it running when I checked it out all fluids look clean. I will mess with it more when it drys out enough for me to get it home in a couple weeks

Ive used my 7010 PS on a 1431 NH. Heavy hay you dont want to get into 6th if youre going uphill.

when I get it home in a couple weeks and drain the trans I will put a magnet in the clean bucket and check it for shavings.
