Price Check John Deere 790

   / John Deere 790 #11  
My 3005, which is a 790 with new badge number, has done very well for me, for all the bigger it is. I have 118 acres of prime grade A West Virginia hillside... about half wooded, half overgrown pasture fields. I've been working my lil tractor hard, with 5' brush hog, on the fields, but it gets it done. It's slow, and as mentioned above, the reverse gears are too low compared to forward gears, of mine were just a little faster backwards in low range, it would be better.

Mine gets run wide open, and at about 365 hours, still runs like new. I've built a full brush cage with limb risers and screen on the back behind the ROPS, made wheel spacers to gain 4.5"ea/9" total, and sometimes carry a 5' piece of railroad track for ballast. RR track in bucket for brush hog ballast when on really steep hills, on the box blade for loader work. All 4 tires are loaded.

D@mn good little machine.

JD 790 can only operate a 48" Rotary Cutter; AKA Bush Hog. Allowing for 6" overlap, effective cutting width is 42". It will take a very long time to mow ten acres.

I have always pulled a 60" bush hog with my 790. No sweat at all...

5' Frontier cutter here: Farm 2016 054.JPG No problem pulling it at all, I use it for heavy grass & weeds. Also have an old JD 5' cutter for brush cutting, HPIM3351.JPG Only problem with it is the lower 3-pt pins are a little too wide, so the arm rub the tires at times.
