What the 1370 is used for
The 1370 is suited to large tillage implements, heavy drawbar loads, and high-demand 1,000-rpm PTO applications appropriate to its power. Its mass, power, and hydraulic capacity make it a field tractor rather than a compact chore machine.
Cab, four-post ROPS, and open-station versions exist. The operating environment should determine which configuration is practical, while tire and ballast setup should be matched to the work.
Why the Case 1370 stands out
The 1370 combines an 8.3 L Case diesel, 12-speed partial power shift, independent 1,000-rpm PTO, hydraulic differential lock, and available high-flow hydraulics. TractorData lists a standard cab, with four-post ROPS and open-station versions also available.
Buying a used Case 1370
Operate the partial power-shift transmission through every range at working temperature and check the hydraulic differential lock, PTO, steering, brakes, and remote hydraulics. Confirm whether the tractor has the standard or optional hydraulic system, inspect cab or ROPS condition, and look carefully for signs of neglected transmission or hydraulic service.
