Your loader comment is misleading, I have the 790 and it takes me all of 3 minutes with no tools to remove the loader. It is so easy that I take it off if I need to mow and then put it back on when finished mowing. I have used the 790 for loader work and brush clearing with no problems. I mow five acres and have a 600 foot driveway I maintain. I would also look at weight of both tractors, I have a drain field and was concerned about damaging it with the heavier 4000 series tractors. The 790 has been a outstanding performer. I also wanted the 4300, but it made no sense to spend that much more for all the bells and whistles. The loader capacity has not been a problem, I can move all the top soil or gravel I need. Just a note to all the people crying about the tires scuffing the lawn,

I have a 790 and it is more than adaquate to run a 5 foot finnish mower in 4th gear high, if you need to mow that fast. I mow 5 acres and have no complaints. I also have the front end loader and 6 foot rear blade and turf tires, I have used the loader and the tractor is quite capable of handling a full bucket load of sod and dirt mixed with rocks. I do not have a bush hog so cannot advise you on that. But overall the tractor has operated better than expected. I paid $15,500 for the package and do not regret it one bit. I also longed for bigger and and more power, but do not regret buying the 790

I have the 790 John Deere tractor with Front end loader and 5 foot finish mower and 6 foot back blade. Loader is John Deere and other impliments are Land Pride. 790 4WD with turf tires. I paid $15,800 delivered and feel it was a good price for the package. I priced Kubotas L2500 L3010 and B 2710, also New Holland TD 25 and TD 29 and all of the Massey Furgenson series. I looked at and drove a lot of equipmend. I settled on the 790 because of size and price. I was dead set on the Kubote L3010. I have a friend that owns the Dealership for kubotas and gave me a knock your socks off price, I just felt that the 790 was better suited to my needs. I have 6 acre's to mow and a 600 foot drive to take care of. I live in south eastern Mich and we get a fair amount of snow and ice. If you have a drain field as I do you also need to consider the weight of the unit you are going to buy.

I have had my JD 790 for one month now. I have no complaints, other than the need for weights on the front to counter balance the rear mower. I also have the JD loader, a Land Pride 5 foot finish mower and 6 foot LP rear blade . I paid $15.800 delivered for the package. I also looked at Massey Ferguson, Boomers and Kubotas, all nice tractors. I feel the 790 in the HP and size range to be the best buy. I looked and read , drove all sizes and HP ranges of all these tractors. I mow 5 acres and have a 600 foot gravel drive I matain along with landscaping and wood hauling. the JD is well suited to the tasks. I have turf tires and 4 WD. My dealer told me he is replacing the industral tires for his coustomers because of the damage to lawns. The Kubote 2710 is nice but the rear axle length past the bearing housing was a concern for me. I also have a good friend whom sells Kubotas and offered me a good deal on the 3010 hydro 4WD turf tires $ 13.300. I still went Green?
