Just bought my first JD Tractor

[NClenny]

Hello all, I just bought my first New John Deere Tractor, a 790 with a 419 FEL, Lx5 Brush Hog, and a 5 foot Box Blade. I live in NC and have about 15 acres to care for, some high grass, water swhales, nice size garden and a 1500 foot stone driveway to maintain. I looked at the Farmtrac 320DTC and was close to buying but once on the JD 790 I fell in love again. My question is I paid 16,400 for all implements and tractor and also tax was included with free delivery, was this a good deal in your minds? Thanks

Congrats from a fellow 790 owner /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Hope you're as happy with yours as I have been with mine. Yes, we need pictures and also you need to proudly list your new toy (I mean tool) in your bio /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Congratulations! I love that new tractor smell.

Did you get a good deal? Sounds like you did. The key is the dealer. As long as the dealer is helpful and provides the level of service you are looking for then you got a good deal.

I am not a fan of overpaying but I keep thinking how much time I save by having my tractor. Based on that I could have paid thousands more and I would still think I got a good deal.

Have fun and be safe.
Mark

Welcome to TBN and the JD forum, we always need new members who know the best tractors are the GREEN ones.
It's a little late to inquire if you got a good deal or not, but the price you quote is fair if your 790 has MFWD. That model is the best bang for the buck you will find, with typical JD reliabilty and resale value. I considered a 790 but needed the convenience of a hydrostatic transmission. Enjoy your new machine, and feel free to post any other questions here.

Question for YOU....how did you learn about TBN?

 

[NClenny]

Thanks, I plan to do just that as soon as they deliver it here in about 10 days, they are waiting on the FEL and Brush Hog to come in, they had to order it.

"Question for YOU....how did you learn about TBN? "


While doing my research on which tractor to buy on the internet I came across this wonderful website, and man did you all help me out in making my decision, I have been reading all of your posts and they were of great help, thanks to all my fellow Deere owners. Nothing better than real owner's telling it like it is. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Thats a good price too but I did not see a LX5 Brush hog on the delivery truck, I got that also along with the 5 foot box blade and front end loader all for 16,400 Tax and delivery included. Think I did pretty good with this deal, can't wait for it to arrive and take pictures to show you all. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Congrats on a great little tractor. You are gonna be amazed at the amount of work you can do with it. Price seems to be about right, the important thing is if you are happy with it or not.

Congratulations! Great tractor /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif, huh, I am probably a little biased, but seriously, you will love your tractor. I am working mine on 11 acres, and cannot believe how well it works.

Welcome to TBN, and best of luck.
