Tractor
John Deere 790wFEL
Hey Guys, after 6mos of shopping I finally bought a JD. I purchased a used 02 790w/ 419 FEL. The tractor has 117 hrs on it and came as a package.Also included Lx5 bush hog,5' JD blade, spring harrow, and 100 gal. fuel tank,w pump and 50 gal. of fuel. Purchase price $10k. I have learned alot from members on thi site and want to thank you! I couldn' afford all the bells,but Iwill just count the $100 bills every time I shift.

That's a pretty good combination. Welcome to the green club.

I first had a 12 hp Gravely with almost all the attachments that I needed drop into my lap when I first moved here. Needed more haulage downhill and ability to toss my mulch and a bit more bush hog capacity; so, I'm the proud owner of a new JD 4010 with 410 FEL and LX4. Friend gave me an old soil ripper. I'll use the Gravely cart and/or maybe buy a carrall to all to the haulage capacity.

Is yours a 4wd or 2wd? The 790 seems to look more like the old classic JDs.

Congrats Creeper, you'll love it. Kind of makes me feel outdated to hear you've bought a used 790 that is newer than mine. It's a great tractor, there are a bunch of us with them on this board. Any questions come up, just ask and enjoy that <font color="green"> GREEN </font> /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I think you got a really good deal and having that fuel tank will be nice to have.

This model is 4wd,it is more like the older versions,but my last tractor was a 1969 MF 65 and the loader had 2 controllers for the FEL and a big dead spot in the hyd valve. I tore up more stuff than I fixed including pushing the 5' bucket thru my block foundation.LOL /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

There goes your warranty. You know your not supposed to attach stuff to the ROPS! Have you not been reading Henros ROPS postings? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

That must have been quite a bump to land you up there, but the grass looks so smooth.
