Hi,<br>
<br>
new here. looking to purchase a JD 790 tractor. having second thoughts.<br>
<br>
Is this actually made/assembled by JD? I heard that it is actually made by a supplier to JD (Yanmar or Kubota).<br>
I thought that was crazy but you never know with all this damn outsourcing.<br>
<br>
thanks<br>

Does JD actually make the 790 series tractor

You have a killer truck ( 3/4 ton Duramax) Mines a 3500 4x4 LT crew cab. I have two duramaxs. As for towing, I have bumperpull & gooseneck trailers. The gooseneck is SUPER. I also have a JD4400 fel, 48hoe. All my trailers now have 2 7k axels w/16 inch D or E load range tires. When I bought my first trailer w/2 3500lb axels 12 years ago. I usually only had 3,000 lb loads or less. when you hit a curb when turning in town, or a pot hole on the highway too much weight is on the impacted wheel, not just 1/4 of the total weight. Bottom line, I replaced bent axles and poped 15 inch tires. Since I went with bigger axles and tires, I've had no problems and saved lots of money and time. Pay up front for heavier equipment, or pay for repairs and down time later. I personally can't afford repairs and down time.

I have a 4400 with a 48 backhoe. It works fine. Maybe its more powerful attached to a larger tractor, but I wouldn't expect its break out capacities, etc .to change. My 48 digs our clay soil like a champ, but it takes a while to dig out much of a stump. This hoe is great for what it is... a small hoe. Hooked to a 4700 ??? too much tractor

4410 with a hoe any experience
