I am considering the purchase of a JD 790 with sliding-gear transmission. (Also like the JD 4300, but price is better). I have read in old JD 770 info. that the "economical sliding-gear is for sustained speeds for long hours". I will be using the JD 790 for front end loader work and backing up in small areas along with some bush hog work. I will use the tractor 2 - 4 hours a week, and don't think I will mind shifting gears. Will the sliding-gear hold up for this type of work? Thanks in advance, John.
