Great tractor, the 990.
Price is a bit salty, but he does have a lot of implements. And that backhoe (if Deere, it should be a 47 or 48) does add a lot.

That's alot of stuff to keep busy with for quite a spell!! :thumbsup: I believe that the 990 comes with the 8B hoe which is a very HD hoe with the 4-point underframe mount that is very sturdy and durable.
The 430 FEL is a better loader than the earlier model 80 and 440. About 300-400lbs better lift capacity.
What type mower - finish or brush hog? JD snow blower?
Not a great price but not terrible given all the goodies. Give it a good look over and see if the guy will let you test the equipment out - at least - run stuff and check out whether things work as their supposed to.

Yep, you're correct and I was in error.

Make sure you run the unit yourself - in backhoe mode for sure, as the 8B on a 990 tends to be a tad slow moving. It is not a problem for most, but if you are familiar with big hoes, it will seem slow to you. Also, as another poster stated, make sure you are OK with the tranny on it as well. IMO - 20K is a little high, I would want to purchase that package at around 18K, maybe 19K if everything really looks top notch. Good luck!
