Well I finally got my tractor a 2006 JD 790, so after a month or so of lurking I thougt I might as well register. It has the 300 loader and came with an LX-5 field mower and a 6' Frontier box blade. I bought it about one month ago but didn't even bring it home, took it straight to Sumner Tractor to leave it there to have a Woods BH 70-X subframe backhoe put on. So it came home this week and this weekend got its first couple of days of work in. For a complete TLB rookie I think I did ok. I pulled all the large rock out of some property that will be added to the yard, about 1/2 acre. I couldn't believe the size of the boulders that the Woods backhoe could pull out of the ground. 3 were too big to fit in the loader so I chained on to them and drug them out. I also dug up for transplanting 5 fruit trees and 3 lilac bushes. After I got the rocks and trees out I dropped the backhoe off (much easier than I thought it would be) and put the box blade on. Again I was very impressed with what this attachment could do. In just under three hours I had ripped off all the sod, pulled up a large number of rock that I missed with the hoe and made the land substantially smoother. I still have quite a ways to go. There are a lot of rocks that need to be picked up and I have 3 big piles of sod and topsoil that need to be loaded into the dump trailer and hauled off. But that will be the next weekend. I have to say I am completely sold and my only regret is that I didn't make this purchase 15 years ago.
