JD 990 vs. JD 5105

[buckeye]

I am looking at several types of small tractors to work on the land we have purchased. I have currently narrowed it down to the JD 990 or the JD 5105. Any thoughts as to which would be the best buy? I really don't have all that much farming to do. Mostly mowing and the F/L work. I'm just looking for a good tractor/engine combination that will be reliable over the years with steady service. I do need the FWD option on either due to some of the terrain I have. I know it is a general question I have asked, but I just need some "broad brush" information at this time. Thanks.

there is no question, if price doesn't matter get the 5105.
