I think it is a very good buy; I paid over $14,000 in the spring of 2000 for a new 790 with a FEL, Mid-PTO, & R-1 tires in Northern Calif.; that was OTD.

Is it 4WD? does it have a loader or does it have the hydraulics for one?

The price sounds good, especially for the hours. You could always add a JD 300 loader later for $2500 It will bolt right on. You will then wonder how you ever got anything done without it.

By staying in a barn, it should be in great shape with no rust or hidden corrosion. You will not have to pay $500+ in sales tax with it being a private sale and if you trust your friends dedication in maintaining his equipment, then I say go for it. He is a motivated seller; he wants a new tractor. All these things add up to a very good deal.

When I purchased my 790 in 2000; to put the Model 70 loader on for $2200, required additional hydraulic plumbing for the loader, that added $400-$500 to the bottom line? One may want to check with a local dealer before deciding, if that kit is still requred for the later designed loaders?

If the tractor has a dual SCV then the loader list price is $3130 and $3280 or so installed. Those numbers are at list price. I would sell this off my lot in Northern California installed for $2950 if the digits of the serial number are LV0790G790000 or higher. If the serial number is less than this there would be an additional $150 charge because of different mounting frames, hoses ect.

Be sure it has a dual SCV on it or there will be a good chunk more to pay. When you are in the seat the lever will be by your right leg.

I have a brand new 790 w/ loader 4x4 on the lot for 13,750...so your looking at a couple thou. savings for a tractor with no warranty and no 0% financing. Not to talk you out of anything but I would offer a bit less, especially if it does not have the dual SCV for the loader. If that tractor had a loader on it and R4 tires I would say it is worth about $9000 to $10,500.

You can call your local dealer to see about an aftermarket loader such as a Bush Hog 1846QT loader....this you could put on for a good amount less.
