Attachments for JD 990

sros990 · Dec 6, 2004

What is the appropriate FEL model for the JD 990 4-Wheel drive? The JD Web “Attachments” page cites the 430 FEL, but I don’t see the 430 FEL on the JD “Build your own” page?

Also, what is the difference between the LX5 and LX6 rotary cutters? How do they compare to an MX5 cutter (60 inch cutter)?

Thanks,

Steve

Not sure on the loader, Deere may be "between models" with the 430 bowing out to the 300X (?) loader.

The LX line is the light duty cutter. LX5 being 5 foot and LX6 being 6 foot. MX is the meduim duty line with the same width designations. What you want will depend on your uses. Pasture mowing you can get away with the lighter duty. If you're going to be cutting a lot of heavier brush and such you'll be better off with the heavy duty model.

Do you already have a 990 or are you still shopping?
