I'm on the original tranny with the 2000. It is used 75% as a tow vehicleand the lightest trailer is my 32' enclosed sled hauler at about 6k loaded.I did switch the trans to synthetic at 10 miles and installed a big cooler and aux. trans filter in the cooler line.Fluid was dumped at 65k,the in pan screen and pan was absoulutely clean.I know a lot of people have had nightmares with the trans,but I'll bet 90% of them were brought on by maitnence or abuse issues.Reverse is weak and will overheat the oil quickly.I did install manual hubs on it so that when I'm spotting trailers I can use low range in the transfer case , this really is a plus.

How much did you pay for the diamond plate canopy and heavy lift? Were those Woods options?

Thanks to all for the replies. I can't wait to get it and get started. We have 10 acres of old farm field that we are putting a house on this summer. I will have plenty to do and I think the 790 will be more than enough tractor for me.

This is my first tractor and while I would have liked to have gotten a hydro, the cost justification was not there for me.

Does anyone know the differences between the 419 and 300 loaders other than the curved arms?

For 15 acres, you may want to consider a step up in size. I have a JD2210 and mow 2 acres. I wish I had gone a size larger with the JD 4110/4115. Just my opinion.

Should I buy a GC2300 or a BX2230

Greetings again,

I would want enough to buy another one. The more I think about it the 790 is just what I need and if I sold it I would be taking the initial depreciation for nothing. This tractor has been trouble free and is now properly broke in so if anything I would just put a backhoe on it.
Dont get me wrong. If you want to gve me 13.5 its sold but that just would not be right.
My advice is go get a new one from your local dealer with a good warranty and you too will want to keep yours for thirty years. Deere has been around for long time and is not going anywhere. The 790 is a long term no frills piece of equipment. A lot of steel, no bells and whistles to maintain. Its just a good tractor. nuff said.

I would think our machines running commercially each rack up more hours in a month than the average user would in a lifetime.

I can't recall ever having a PTO shaft guard wear out.

Then again, we do silly things like greasing them every day just as you're supposed to.

Best of luck.

My dealer just informed me that the BH75 is only for this years L3400 HST. They do not recommend it for my 2004 L3400, they only recommend the woods 7500.<br>
<br>
I also would like to know more about what other backhoe attachments would be suitable for my '04 L3400. Any advice on how to locate and purchase is welcome as well.<br>

Thanks

Uh-oh, sounds like a case of the dreaded Honey-Do Syndrome ........

I'll fill out a draw entry at the Kubota booth for you, they're giving away a new RTV !! LOL.

Best of luck.

There's so many variables in the system it's hard to tell for sure, but it does seem a little quicker this morning.

Or maybe I just need another coffee, it just seems faster 'cause I'm slower, LOL.

Thanks for your efforts Dennis.

If you're using it to mow the lawn and other field,garden and woods work, I'd recommend the TC33-series tractors. But if it won't be used for mowing the lawn, I'd say TC40 all the way.

Good luck,
Bill

Sumfir:
Congrats on your purchase! I still have the same clutch in the 1949 IH Super "C". Don't expect the need to replace clutches on yours. In 1st. gear with a loader on the front, it can still bring the front end off the ground when plowing with a two bottom moldboard plow.

The test thing for comparison sake is always the best way to go. Likewise, you know your own application and needs better than us. If you're happy, that's all that counts.

Caveat Emptor. A heavy equipment operator here got took on a pair of bulldozers off eBay. The description and photos made it look like a super deal, and he was thrilled to win the auction. Then they arrived. Would you believe holes in the blades were filled with BONDO !!!!

I forgot to mention King Kutter is an economy brand and the build quality leaves a little to be desired. However, they are a lot less expensive than the premium brands. Their implements are still quite beefy and you'd be hard pressed to break anything using a lightweight SubCUT.

Bill, Oneace, KWS - thank you for your inputs. I'll have a discussion with the dealer tomorrow. HP aside (the consensus on the board points to 40), the comments on the R1 vs R4 tires are especially welcome, as two different folks at the dealer said different things. One - R1, the other, R4. The R4 comments came with a rationale along the lines "won't scar up the ground like an R1 will, are heavier, so balance out the R1 traction-profile advantage"...surprised me a bit. I will be checking out the "I hate my R4s" thread KW! I really like the gravel path suggestion - thanks to you all on the tire point alone. Back to HP...one neighbor has a TC30, and for what they are doing (hogging, loading-digging) their comment was "a little under powered for what we want to do".

Hmmm, Oneace or Brokenarrow or other dealer-aware reader - if you are up to it, I'd be interested in a ball-park (very round numbers) newprice compare on two packages
- 33DA, 14L loader, R1s+Ca solution, Landpride cutter (RCR18-60), LP boxscraper (BB15-60), LP tiller (RTA15-58)
vs
- 40DA, 16L loader, R1s+Ca solution, LP cutter (RCR18-72), LP boxscraper (BB15-72), LP tiller (RTA20-72)

overall - I appreciate the help.

These little tractors aren't bulldozers. Pushing or ramming a big stump is a good way to blow out loader hydraulic cylinders and possibly do some major damage. Stump removal with a CUT requires digging it out and tearing through the roots. Small stumps may be no problem, but they can be deceiving too. Sorry, I don't know enough about the 3320 to have an opinion. A trip to the dealer to check 'em out is in order I think.

It's not Tivo, but we have a Dish network PVR which is the same basic thing. We would have a real hard time going back to watching TV without it now. Never had a gear tractor, but since I've never owned a vehicle with an automatic I doubt a gear would bother me too much. Having the infinitely variable speed has been great for maneuvering amongst the trees, that's for sure. I'll tell ya what else has been great. We put all our CD's on an MP3 server and use an AudioTron to play them. It's great, pick any type of music or any artists you want and just play 'em. No flipping between CD's, no commercials, no satellite audio fees, no obnoxious DJ's and all your music available at the touch of a knob.
