- 2001 John Deere 790
Howdy all! Just bought a 2001 JD 790 4x4 30HP with 360 hours, 7 backhoe, 70 loader with additional hydraulic grapple (think that's the name) and a box scraper R1 rear tires and not sure about the fronts, ag though. Used it a bit last weekend and am very happy! Its very clean and has extra controls for an auger or what ever. It has two cylinders for the 3PT. The backhoe is presently installed. This coming weekend I may attempt to take it off and try out the box scraper.
Anyhow I will eventually be looking for a tiller. Everyone around here is asking $800 plus for one.
So here it is, all my newbie questions!
1- What size tiller will this tractor handle?
2- Can any 3pt tiller be installed, pto compatibility etc?
3- My front tires are not real great and could be replaced, where do I buy them?
4- I read somewhere here about a shim mod for the loader controls, can someone point me in the right direction?
5- What about insurance, through my auto carrier or homeowners?
6- Aux lighting, I know that in normal light mode I can power additional lighting but where do I find that circuit, is there an easy plug in somewhere or do I have to hack into the wiring?
7- I would like to add some water ballast in the tires. Where do I get Calcium chloride and how do I get it into the tires?
Thanks
Greg
