I have a 98 John Deere 1070. Absolutely perfect machine for my property. I plow snow with her in the winter. Although it's cold without a cab, its does the best job. 2 snow storms ago I would put her into gear and it wouldn't hardly move. The clutch felt tight and had a hard time coming back up. With some forward and backwards movement she finally clicked it. The next storm same thing. This past snow storm was a doozy. super cold. When in gear...absolutely nothing. Figured she was just cold as she doesn't have an indoor home. I tarped her and put a salamander heater under her belly. After that still nothing. I had the backhoe on, so (safety police please look away) I put her into gear, knelt on the seat backwards and gave her a little nudge with the hoe. She moved very slowly and with some more back and forth she came around and plowed great. Next day final cleanup she worked perfect. I did tarp and heat her up again. I also blocked the clutch fully depressed after reading some other threads here.
Any suggestions?? I've never had any major issues with her. The JD Dealer I bought her from has closed, but I do have the owner coming to check her out once he is caught up on snow removal of 1400 driveways. LOL yes 1400.
