Craig, I went through the same decision process a while back. It is not an easy decision. If the 790 was available in a hydro model it would have been a simple choice. Unfortunately the 790 is not available with a hydrostatic transmission. The other factors I considered was the standard mid pto and mfwd on the 4100. The independent pto's was another important feature for me (I'm just not that coordinated with clutches and tillers at the same time). I think the mid pto and MFWD are options on the 790. The 790 is a lot more tractor for the money h.p. wise, but when you consider the options and what the 4100 can do, I decided on the 4100. You may also want to consider Newholland and Kubota. My hat is off to the people that can operate a clutch and front end loader with precision. I just can't seem to do that. The hydrostatic drive was very important to me. This is not much of an answer but maybe a little insight. In any event I hope it was helpful.

Rob, I bought a Delco Freedom battery, mod.# 35 6 yr. Took it home and decided that it was too big. 6 3/4" deep, 8 3/8" long and 8" tall. The tabs that keep the battery away from the radiator have to be bent down out of the way for this battery. The battery I ordered was not a sealed unit but one with the same oozing vent caps. Looked identical to JD. Group 22nf. I will take my 35 6 yr back and look for a smaller sealed battery and get back to you. Jim

I think the cylinder is going out on my TC29D steering. I've seen oil on the top of it & my steering wheel moves under pressure.

I was reading your problem with seat replacement and could not beleive what your local dealer was chargeing. I just bought my husband a seat for his 955 from my local dealer and paid under $100.00 for it brand new. I think maybe its time to find a new John Deere dealer. Hope you can find a cheaper replacement.

I just went today to my JD dealer in central NH. He showed me a 4WD, 790- with a loader, gear transmission and rear PTO only. He said it was on sale for $15,100!!! He said a 60" rear snow blower would be $2,000 and a 6' blade would be $350. He told me that the first service at 50 hours would cost $500. After reading your postings, I think he is trying to take me for a ride. He also showed me a Kubota B2710HSD with loader for $17,000.

Charlie, I hope I didn't mislead anyone; didn't intend to. As you said, the 8N and 9N were fine tractors, in their day. The 1939 Ford was a fine car, too, in its day. And both can still be used today; the tractors more so than the cars maybe. But compared to modern cars and tractors, I'd say they ain't much, but they're a darned sight better than no car or tractor at all.

Ether is a volatile subject (you should pardon the pun) Different tractors have different requirements. If you have glow plugs, ether can blow the intake right off the tractor. If you don't have glow plugs or preheaters, overuse of ether can still grenade an engine. Just a whiff in the general vicinity of the air intake is an accepted method of use. Read your manual or ask your dealer.

Generic block heaters are available in various forms, from dipstick (not very effective) to magnetic clamp on (better, but still not great) to the type that splice into the radiator hose (best if done right). A local dealer or tractor mechanic should be able to point you in the right direction.

My JD750 has pre-heat. 10-15 seconds on the pre-heater, and she'll start every time in 0 to -10 weather, and wind chills of -30.

My tractor is about 10 years old, and I need to replace the seat. The black plastic cover is cracked and broken. My local dealers say it is a $400 part. Does anyone have an alternative. This seems a bit high for a seat.

we had a 3/4ac pond dug a 2 years ago by a local contractor. He had a CAT 318 trakhoe and a little dozer. We already had a low area so we already had a 4' pond after the trees were taken out. He dug out another few feet down to 15-18' deep in other areas(hit rock in some spots) He used the good clay to build the pond dam, our driveway. The topsoil was stockpiled off to the side and no dirt was trucked off our property. That saved on the cost.
As a side note speaking from great expierience, build the dam/overflow pipe like your going to build your house on it. For us we needed 3 12" overflow pipes because our pond if filled from several small streams and one big 18" road pipe that drains ~40ac around our development. Unfornutatly we caught the edge of the big hurricain Floyd right after the pond pipes were in and we got 13" of rain over 36 hours. It filled the pond up in less than 2 hours and washed out the pipes in another hour. There were several mistakes made by the contractor in the laying of the pipes. These were corrected in the next try, and it's been golden ever since.
The cost for all this was in the 3k range, that's about 3 days worth of loader/dozer work and just a few materials.
I sat the poles in the pond for a dock while it was empty also.

Hind-sight is a wonderful thing Jeff, I to wish I had pictures of many of our 'adventures', however, like most things, it didn't seem nearly as funny at that moment in time. In fact I think I mentioned something about early 'retirement' to the one employee who had a camera with them.....

Thanks for the replies. JD recomends the 413, which is 48". I have a line on a good used 60". Has anyone used one that large on the 4100? Is it too big?

If you plan to burn the pine, I'd check local regs if you haven't already done so. The regs might affect your planning. Around here, you can't do a burn without a permit, and the regular permit season closes in early spring. Special permits are hard to get and require a bunch of procedural stuff like the presence of fire marshals throughout the burn. Anyway, we ended paying for 16 dump truck loads to the landfill because we couldn�t get a building demolition done in time. Of course, sometimes volunteer fire departments want to practice and will do an entire burn themselves, mostly old houses, but that�s an option to keep in mind. I might be a bit envious of living in an area where pine has no value for firewood. The choice among local wood here is birch, poplar or a conifer--not enough maple to speak of. I imagine that everybody would prefer to burn maple, but maple here is an import from 50 or more miles south. Pine definitely has value for firewood. Quite a few friends heat mostly with the leavings from logging operations.

I'm not familiar with the Woods mower, but $19,000 seems slightly high for Ohio. One may find a TC25 w/loader for under $16,000. In May of last year, I pad $16500 for TC33, SS, loader, block heater, seat arms, & worklight. I like the tractor.
MHeath, I have bent my toolbox hinges a couple of times with the toplink also.
