I have a jd4200 and my Dad has a jd870. The 790 uses the same setup as these. It takes us both 5 min or less once you get the hang of it. Installation is the same.

It usually takes me about 10 minutes to install and about 5 minutes to drop the mid-mount mower deck on my 4100. It really helps to do this on concrete or some other level surface, since you really must roll the mower deck into place, due to the weight you can't do much lifting. Yes the R-4 tires are best all-around tires. I've had no problem at all with them on turf and they provide much more traction (and puncture resistence) than turf tires. Ag tires will sure enough tear up your grass. Only downside to R4 tires is that they ride rougher than other tires. ....
