I've got an pony JD 830 and would go electric next time. Spent $3500 in parts to completely rebuild the pony. I've got an electric start JD 730 and could buy a lot of batteries for that money. Yes it is "neat" to have two engines, but you have all the problems associated with having two engines. The pony engine rods are some alumumin alloy and will eventually fail, so any pony engine tractor you buy this will be a questionable area. I believe they were $700/set from mother Deere eight or so years ago. No way would I install a used set. Perhaps someone is now making aftermarket ones. The JD 70 has shown a substantially lower increase in value as compared to the later 20 and 30 series tractors. This may change, but I wouldn't bet my money on it.
