Questions about John Deere 790

My apologies Reddogs for misunderstanding but I am still a little perplexed..

Are you saying that the category 1 three point hitch is too wide for the JD790 to accommodate between the rear wheels??

Click on the link in Reddogs #19 post. You can see tire marks on the 3-point lower arms. This is a flaw in the tractor design which is exacerbated by any implement that might impose a side force such as a blade at an angle.

You got good eyes, yep thats a major flaw in my book..

The same thing would happen on my old Yanmar 4x4. Not surprising this is basically a Yanmar, too. Oh well, I got a lot of good use out of the tractor despite that flaw.

As I'd written, early on in this thread, I owned a 790, so I know the good points and the not so good points
Great little tractor, except for the limitations of the non-synchronized transmission.
I replaced it with a Deere 4400 with a 12 speed reverser transmission

I was a bit bummed this 790 didn't have an HST trans, but the price was right so I bought it anyway. My next tractor will definitely be an HST. I'll add her picture here, too:

It's interesting that the 790 and some related machines are about ubiquitous here in rural Maine, or certainly were a decade ago, and I've never noticed the marks on the 3PH. I just hopped on TractorHouse and most of them have that rubbing!

Maybe wheel spacers?

If that's the fix then it's a well guarded secret.

i was just thinking that if the 3 point hitch is empty the lower arms would be free to swing into the tires if they weren't bungee corded together.

Why wouldn’t that allow for more space?

I'm not saying it wouldn't, given that's the point of a spacer; I'm was just making a joke implying that the Deere 790 community must be unfamiliar with them.
