Welcome to TBN
Maybe the tractor engineers thought 3rd range was too high gear ratio for reversing. Have you consulted a 1070 operator's manual?

I used to have a JD1070 as well and it did the same thing. It would not allow reverse in high range. I always thought it was a safety thing as well like Tx Jim mentioned. Although, my MX4700 does allow reverse in high range and is a newer tractor. Not sure how that equates when things seem to be going more towards safety now than before..??
I really liked that tractor!! I sometimes wish I had kept it but then I would have to maintain two tractors.. I hope you enjoy yours!!!

Have not noticed that on my JD 4300, but then doubt I've tried reverse in high range.. will give it a try.
Other than road travel, do not overtax the tranny by using high range.

I had a 4200, it was possible.
We're talking compact series here, right?

right
I don't have a manual for it, but I have one comming.
Thans for all the comments. This is what I have found out about the transmission, (Linkage lockout removed starting with 1991 Model Year to allow 3rd Reverse). So the years 1989 and 1990 did not have a reverse in the 3rd range.
