Yes, JD's 790 and 990 tractors are positioned more as their "no-frills" price fighter tractors. The 790 competes head to head with NH's TC30, but NH does not have a similar type of tractor to go head to head with JD's 990.
I used to compare the TC40 to JD's 4510 or 4610, and NH's TC45 to JD's 4710, but haven't kept up with JD's newer designs to see what the current comparison is.

After being on the TC40, you may be dissapointed in the 990. Do not get me wrong, the 990 is a great no frills tractor, but it would be like test driving a Mustang GT and settling for a Taurus. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Deere web page says 42hp, Deere spec sheet says 40.4hp. I guess they juiced the injectors back up. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I agree with that statement. And here in TX I was able to buy a TC40A CHEAPER than I could find a best price 990 for. I don't understand why Deere's are so high, at least here. The only 2 I found reasonably priced were the 5103 and the 790.
