Based on what you are wanting to do I’d say the heavier 9700. As JDS said around here $8 - $10K max for a really good one. If it’s made it to 10,000 hours I wouldn’t be to concerned. (I’ve got an 8700 pushing 12,000 hrs). Check it over good. Make sure the trans is good in all gears and the Dual Power doesn’t slip in high or low and shifts firm. If you are used to slick shifting syncro / ps trans, stirring the big stick on the 9700 may take some getting used to, but they shift pretty good at higher speeds if you double de-clutch.
I don’t have any experience with the 1896, but that sounds like it could be one of the Case /David Brown tractors??? I think it’s a little light weight for what you want. I’m wary of those transmissions.
If you look around you might be able to find a Case Magnum 7110 or 7210 maybe in your price range. Real tough tractors. I had a 7140 which I sold and regretted it ever since!
Any old high hour’d tractor is a bit of a gamble. Good luck.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
