I'm looking at 4 WD CUT's for food plot preparation. Currently have 2 acres under tillage. Plan to gey to 10 or 12 acres eventually. Need to pull implements like shallow chisel plow, disc, rotary cutter, landscape rake. Ground has many rocks of all sizes. Will not have $$ for BH, but may be able to buy FEL in addition to others noted above. I've driven the NH TC40A and wanted to drive JD 990, but JD dealer had no 990's in stock. Any thoughts on comparing the 2 CUT's?? Really could use some advice!!

Get draft control. Option for TC40.

I've looked at both... but haven't seen a 990 in person, I just sit on the 790 and imagine it larger. Ergos are definitely better on the TC40. TC 40 has a more powerful loader and I don't think draft control is available on the 990. I believe the 990 is cheaper, but don't have a quote for one yet. The 990 has a more powerful engine and is more of a traditional tractor, as opposed to the modern TC40. It looks like the 990 sits lower to the ground... but it's hard to say without having seen one. I think the 4120 is more of a direct comparison to the TC40. The 4120 comes out on top in that comparison, but costs more.

The TC40 is a 40hp tractor, the older 990 were 40hp, but the newer ones are less hp, I think only 38. You should check up on this.
