Great looking tractor. What size are the front and rear tires? If yo do a lot of loader work, you might want to consider swapping the front tires from side to side. That way the track will be a few inches wider and the tire tread will still be in the correct direction. I'd also recommend loading the tires and some heavy implement or weight for the rear with the loader in use.
I know the first photo was just a photo shoot, but make sure you use the seat belt.
Also, with a post hole digger, it's possible to get them stuck because they can't be reversed, so go slowly and keep cleaning out the hole until you get the feel for the auger vs the soil. There should be some manufacturer's plate on the post hole digger unless it's really old. A check with the manufacturer eith through a dealer, by phone or the internet should tell you the HP requirements, weight, etc.
Good luck.

Great tractor, the 790!
I'm glad you got a ballast box...that'll help with the loader a lot!
Be safe, and enjoy that fine tractor!
BTW, my 790 has the vertical exhaust pipe. I see your's has the horizontal pipe. Where does that exit?

Awesome looking pictures. I love the 790. Has that brute force look of a classic tractor.

Very nice. Those are some really impressive pictures. Love the background and the different angles. Looks like something you would see in some JD literature.

The exhaust exits just below the engine compartment on the left side. It comes straight downward out of the engine compartment and then curves forward a bit. It only sticks out a little bit and is right above the axle housing for the left front wheel.

Thanks - That barn is actually one of my projects. It has about 1-3 feet deep of old hay on the entire floor. I'm hoping to dig it all out and get water and electricity to it this summer. It is in good shape otherwise, needs a paint job. Just trying to figure out where I am going to put all of that old hay....
