JD 790 is this a decent deal?

Come North young man!

New 2004 790 with 419 loader----$13,300 delivered.

threw in an installed block heater, brought a can of fuel and topped the tank when they unloaded it.

How I hate shopping for tractors! The JD is probably priced too high because I got info without trying from another dealer and he said about 3/4 of new price is a rule of thumb for used.
The new Kubota was not overly impressive for what I need. The B7800 was nice but I don't feel that it will do everything I need it to do. The sb was real wimpy looking. (Please don't blast me here, just observations here.) So, back to looking.
Thanks for the info here. It helps that you are willing to share this info.

The sb was real wimpy looking.

Is that "seat back", "service brake", or "steering brake", /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Yep, snow blower. In NNY snow has a tendency to fall in feet at a time rather than inches. The NH/Kubota dealer sells Smythe sb and they make the Farm King look pale but, the price, of course is higher. Back to pricing again, the color is becoming less and less important as I continue to look. They all look like they have some decent products. Right now I have a bottom line price on a new NH TC30 w/ fel and sb. Went to the JD dealer to see what they will do. Orange is out, the B series frame is too light for what I want. L series is as much money as the others. Need to get some feed back on the NH price.
