The John Deere 670 compact utility tractor had a fairly long production run that lasted a total of 9 years from 1989 when it first appeared until production finished in 1997. The JD 670 comes in 2 flavors; with either a 4X4 MFWD 4WD chassis or a 4X2 2WD chassis. The 4X2 chassis gives it a total weight of 784 kg (1730 lbs), while the 4X4 chassis gives it a total weight of 843 kg (1860 lbs). Considering the weight of this compact utility tractor, you would expect it to be powered by a powerful engine, but the engine only produces 18.5 hp.
