- John Deere 790 with loader LS xr3140h also with loader plus a cab
Was able to do some cultivating today. Weather was stellar, soil is getting workable on the flats but still pretty soft in the draws.
The 790 was pulling threw everything like a hot knife threw butter just a little tire spin threw the mucky draws. Then something happened....
It was my bad, I replaced the drive gears in both sides last fall. After 15 years of use the left side failed. I pressed off one of the bad gears from the 'shaft' or wheel flange and fouled up the groove of the snap ring on the splined 'shaft'... I re-used the shaft and that was not a good idea.
Finished cultivating with the LS XR3140H. Really wish I could have finished with the deere...
