I had thought about just trying to add those items to my current 950,but, that just seems like it would wear her out faster. Not to mention that I have been over here in Baghdad since 05 and I am ready for a new toy.
I will be using it for digging out my small creek in certain areas, digging stumps, clearing a place for a new barn, loads and loads of dirt and bushogging of course. "Louisiana work"
Any feed back would be VERY helpful..Also looking for prices if anyone could let me know what they had paid in the past or any quotes from dealers.
Thanks to all and I am looking forward to kissing the Good Ol USA Soil again
ps..I noticed a member by the name of "Gordon21"? on another post and he had the exact machine I was looking for on his Name Pic....it was a picture of his JD with the BH being used...If you read this, could you please let me know how you like your 790 with the 300 FEL and BH?
Thanks to all
Charles

I have a 790 with a 300 loader w haeavy duty bucket with tooth bar, LandPride Box Blade, FEL Blade w angle kit, Canopy, Tilt Meter, rear light, loaded rear tires, lights on canopy and TNT. I use the tractor to snow plow, grade roads, and occasional FEL work. Its a great tractor for me. I put in the shims to increase the pressure that the bypass kicks out on the hydraulics and can lift as much as I feel comfortable with with the loader. It has great power, tight turning radius, a lot of tractor for your money. If I did a lot of loader work I would have looked at a 3000 series tractor with hydro.
