When I am doing allot of loader work.....I could sometimes be talked into trading for a tractor such as the 3032 (which I looked at the other day). However, the notion passes and I don't spend that many hours in the seat doing
fel work....and I am into my 790 at a good price. And....I have gotten used to scratching in and out of the gears....lol. (I could also wish for a third "mid" range for loader work....but alas.)
One thing I thought I may be wanting for more lift capacity both with the
fel and the 3 point. But I added one pack of shims (2400 psi) and sized my 3 point implements correctly......so, I have not had any issues with having enough lift capacity. I can pick up an over-full bucket of any type of material and handle several pine trees at a time when stacking logs for burning and such. I can pick up any of the implements I own with the
fel. I suppose if I had to handle large bales it would be a factor....but I don't.
Hydraulic specs are one thing.....but the proof is in the operation. This little tractor has a nice balance of power and capacity.....and, I am quite satisfied with the hydraulic capacity of the 790 - for my purposes.
I also think a smaller, lightweight and nimble tractor is great when operating in timber. And.....I think its limitations help to keep me out of trouble.
