Minneapolis Moline opinion?

yes my dad had one can't remeber the no. of it . It was lp gas and all he used it for was to rolll hay and did a good job doing that and was pertty good on gas

Have a friend that has an M670 and G900 along with some others.  Both are diesels and seem pretty solid and good power.  Only problem is on the G900 is that each head had cracks in them.  M-M never seemed to have the hydraulic system as the other companies did at least from my experience around them.

I don't know anything about their tractors, but I just bought a 3 pt 2 bottom plow at a farm sale and it is a very well built heavy plow. (1960s ?) The coulters are big compared to most AC plows. Clearance to avoid plugging looks to be better than AC plows too. It also easily adjusts for width of cut for each bottom - I guess for 16 or 18 cut ? If other implements are that well built - I will be looking for more.

Worked for an older farmer who only had MM tractors and equiptment when I was 19-20. He had a G1000 and out of all of his tractors (he had every model but the one with the cab UDLX ?) the G1000 was my favorite,what a beast.Little big for everyday chores but I do not believe it gave him any problems.He had a tractor for every job and the G1000 was his discing/harrowing tractor.As Minnie goes that was one of their better ones.

the owner of the cr960 n.h. combine in the (ne iowa combine day video) has a G1000, which was his first tractor. I still remember him getting it when we were in High School. It spent many years doing their heavy work and also custom work. Never had any major problems. One day he called, said he was stuck out in the field and to bring a tractor to pull him out, I walked past new fendts and jcbs to the g1000 Great tractor to drive and those long stroke engines have loads of torque, pulled him right out. Even though we are ac people the G1000 will always be a favorite.

I once had a G-900. It was a very good tractor and pretty easy on fuel. I had some issues with the hydraulic system but I don't think it was a common problem on them. Overall I was pleased with it.

I LIKE MM & AC-I LIKE THE MM'S FROM THE LATE SIXTIES AND EARLY 70'S.UNLIKE THE EARLIER POST THE TORQS ON THE MM WOULD OUTLAST TWICE AS LONG AS THE IH'S,AND U DONT HAVE TO TEAR THE TRANS COMPLETLY APART TO REPLACE THE TORQ.BIG ENGINES G1000 HAD 504 CUBES.THE COMPARISON BETWEEN A VISTA AND A AC 220 IS A LITTLE UNFAIR.THE 220 SHOULD BE COMPAIRED TO A G1350 THAT CAME OUT IN 1969-HAD 585 CUBES RATED AT 145HP.I HAVE ONE IN PIECES WITH A RARE TURBO OPTION THAT WOULD PRODUCE 180HP WITHOUT TOUCHING THE PUMP.DONT GET ME WRONG I HAD A D21 SERIES 2 PUTTIN OUT 170HP.I WOULD NOT BE SCARED TO TAKE EITHER ONE TO A BATTLE!! THE LATE MM'S WERE THE BEST HAD ALOT OF THE BUGS WORKED OUT.

the "G1000" is a power house!!

I'd like to find an early Z like Grandpa on Mom's side had. I have my other Grandpa's Oliver 60.

We had an old 1949 ZAU when I was a kid.  It was behind the times, even for a '49 model. On the plus side, it was an easy engine to overhaul.  On the minus side, that engine was unsleeved. I lost track of MM after that and don't know what improvements they made with their next series.

I had a G-1000 LP for a rew years. I used it for chisel plowing and discing. It was a solid tractor with no problems. I think maybe the problem with the Ampli-torque was guys would try to feather them in. I was told to "snap" it in and never had trouble with it. But, it was one hot rascal with a cab on it,even with the windows and door removed. My boys finally started refusing to drive it if temps were warm. Replaced it with a 76 7060 and never looked back!
