Thanks,
I always thought the two were about the same!
Yep...the 790 was replaced by the new number: 3005 in 2009 (?) so that the model numbers make a series. Same tractor...new number.
HOWEVER....IF you hang that MX5 on the back of either of those tractor models.....you may not pick it up, let alone operate it safely and efficiently. The 790 3 point is rated to lift about 850 lbs.....same as that of the MX5. I don't think you want to go there with the 790, 3005, or any 2000 series JD compact tractor. You simply wont have enough weight or lift to operate it correctly.
