Well, thanks for all of the input. I bought the J.D. 4100 this weekend. I ended up negotiating the 4x4 4100 (gear trans), loader, mid & rear PTO, and rear field mower for $11,000.Next question - Why is the 700 series J.D. (a 30 H.P.) machine, less expensive than the 4100 (20 H.P.)? Thanks again! Kevin

Kevin, congratulations on your new toy! Sounds like you negotiated a great price. The 790 is marketed to be the low-price member of the John Deere compact cast. A bare-bones 790 is much less expensive than a 4100, but is only 2WD, manual steering, single-stage clutch with tranny-driven PTO, and no mid PTO. When I compared a 790 equipped with 4WD, power steering, 2-stage clutch, and mid-PTO to a similar 4100 gear tractor the prices were virtually identical. The 4100 gear has a 8F/4R tranny over the 790 with a 8F/2R, but big deal. There may be other small differences in features that I didn't cover also. Are the creature-comforts that much better on the 4100? Your call. ....
