Hi ...just wanted to introduce myself and thank you for the amount of information I learned before joining the forum.
I have 100+ mostly wooded acres to maintain and will likely put in about 5 acres of food plots and maintain about 1 mile or more of trails with my new (to me) tractor (mostly clover on the trails). I hope this little Johnny is up to the task.
I just purchased a used JD 790 with a 70 FEL (hope this loader works out O.K.) and I am in the process of adding a 5' box blade, MX 5 cutter and want to buy a disc harrow before spring.....along with a few other neccessites. The tractor is in very nice shape with only about 300 hours on the clock. R1 Tires...but came with a set of turf tires for the front too....so I can use it a bit in the yard.
I likely have about 200 stumps to get out of my trails (old forestry land)...but plan to rent a vermeer stump grinder for most of that work.
From what I gleaned from the posts.....I purchased a markham 5 tooth bar for the bucket and a HF 3 point quick hitch (27.5" and adaptor ....but they are on backorder till late Jan ) I plan to add fluid to the rears and find a place for a tool box somewhere on this machine (suggestions?).
Anyway......busily adding my attachments and doing some mods over the long Minnesota winter and trying to get everything ship shape for a serious workout come spring.
Thanks again for the information I gleaned from reading over 100 pages of posts and micl. information.
