Re: 9860 04 vs 9870

A 9860 is quite a bit harder on fuel than a 9760, too much for the minimal capacity gain.

9860 and 9770 are pretty much exactly the same only 9770 will use at least 10-15% less fuel. The 9870 has 15-20% more capacity on average even more in some conditions.

Re: 9860 04 vs 9870

The 9870 is so much better than the 9860 don't even waste your time on a 9860. We owned a 9860 one year and after that we almost bought a cat 585R until john deere gave us a 9870 a year before they were released and we are so happy with it. We did demo a Cat 585R and it was a very impressive machine.
