Hi Peter
Being that you are familiar with the 1070, switching to another brand will be another learning curve to consider.
Nice thing about Saskatchewan is any day of the year you can look on Kijiji and there are at least a half a dozen 1070's available ranging from parts machines to low hour gems.
I pulled a baler on very similar ground as yours for years with a 970, when I upgraded to a 1070 it was a black and white difference, the little bit of extra HP on the 1070 allows me to roll over the hills I used to have to down shift on, so I would not recommend going to a machine with any less power,
You could go out and spend big money on a newer machine but it will still break down.
Having a parts machine around to keep yours going in my opinion is still cheaper and more convenient than having a newer machine even if you lived next door to a dealership.
I know someone who put out serious money for a newer Kubota this spring, it did not roll 100 bales before it had to be hauled in for $14000 worth of repairs to the transmission along with a month of down time. (Not picking on Kubota it can happen to any brand)

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
