I have a 2002 JD790 and it has the same side panels and come off the same way. Love my 790

[@clashavenfarms6714]

It's been a great tractor for me, for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Love your property, beautiful hills and trees. I bought my 790 with a 419 loader and bucket in 2018 for 10k at auction. It had 270 hours, used for field mowing and kept in a barn for storage. I've since upgraded it with a three-point quick connect, and bought several attachments such as a field mower, box blade, quick attach 3 ft forks and 9" auger. I also have a weight box for the three-point with about 700 lb of ballast. These tractors are great for universal, lighter work. You have to be careful, they sit higher and can be tippy. They really can't pull stumps, or lift much over 600lbs on the FEL without shimming the hydraulics, and that's where a lot of people get into the danger zone of exceeding the limitations of a light tractor. The front axle, especially when in four-wheel drive can be fragile and you need to be careful with them, people have damaged the front planetary gears by putting too much stress on the front end especially in reverse. Do not run this tractor in four-wheel drive unless absolutely necessary. Mine also has some blow by and under stress the engine will burn a little bit of oil and you can smell it. The yanmar diesel engine, as you mentioned doesn't have emissions, however you definitely know it and if you're downwind of that exhaust it stinks pretty bad. The manual transmission requires patience, and you must push that clutch in and wait before you shift gears so you don't wind up banging them in. Overall this tractor has cleaned up several acres of property, hundreds of trees and mowed nasty terrain while I was trying to grade the property back to normal which saved wear and tear on my x570. I'm very lucky to have gotten this machine for the price that I did. She's sitting in the garage nice and clean and maintenanced for the winter, waiting for the spring.

Thanks! The 790 has been a great work horse for me. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@GardenTractorBoy]

I reallt like the size of the tractor and it has some cool features. Thanks for the overview

[@clashavenfarms6714]

Thank you! I've been very happy with it. Have a good weekend.

You have made an OUTSTANDING video review video Sir and Yes you have a nice tractors John Deere collection 😇👍 You are truly leading by example Sir Cheers 🍻🍻

Thank you, Sir. I hope everything is going well for you, my friend.

[@davidcharles3131]

You bought that 790 at the right time. They are selling for more then that now with lots more hours. Good video review. Thank you.

[@clashavenfarms6714]

Yes, I did. It's crazy how much equipment is going for now. I don't mind working on things, but some of these prices and the item needs work and parts? It's hard to justify. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@jarrettbank]

I have a factory installed belly mower on my 2007 790. It just uses the rear PTO.

[@clashavenfarms6714]

Nice, I do wish I had that option on this tractor. I had a mid PTO on my 650 John Deere and loved that option. Thanks for watching and commenting .

[@kebo57]

@clashavenfarms6714. Thats a nice 790. I have a 2001 790 4x4, but it has the model 70 loader, which isn't as powerful as the model 300 loader. Have you shimmed out the hydraulic relief valve yet? You can safely run it up to 2500psi and get more lift capacity, with the loader and the lift. JD actually sells the shim kit to do that. One side note, in case you're not aware, the black switch you pointed too under the seat is the operator presence switch, as you noted. You can pull the black knob up and that will allow you to operate a 3pt attachment while the operator is not present (sitting on the seat), such as a 3pt log splitter. Pretty cool feature. I have added a chain saw carrier, a chain bucket, a tool box with padded arm rest, and a canopy to mine. I also added the Pat's easy change and welded some hoks on top ofvthe bucket. Have had great service from my 790!!! Thanks for the video.

[@kebo57]

@@wayneb3604 Sorry, but I don't have any knowledge on the interchangeability of the Model 70, 300, and 419 loaders. Maybe you could call a JD dealer and ask them?

[@clashavenfarms6714]

I didn't know about the shim kit. Thank you for that information. Thank you for pointing out the pressure switch. That is something I definitely should have pointed out as it's a nice feature. That is one thing I'm learning about making videos. I always seem to forget something even after I write down my talking points. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@mp591077]

love this!!!did you ever do a video of changing out the hydraulic fluid? my 4wd oil#90 is empty!

[@clashavenfarms6714]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I have not done a video on replacing the hydraulic fluid and filter yet. I'll add that to my list of videos. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@erniezelinka4836]

I have recently purchased a 2007 JD790 . Do you know how to increase the hydraulic pressure on bucket lift system. Ive heard it came from factory at 1950 - 2150 psi (will lift appox. 950 lbs at bucket ) but that the system has to be safe at 3000 psi ?!! I need the lift system to go from 925 lbs. to approximately 1200 lbs lift! I move large round bales of hay for wife's horses. I've watched that adjustment be done in videos for today's models 1025, 2025 etc. Do you or anyone you know know have any experience in these older ,790's in that regard. Thanks for any help ...

[@clashavenfarms6714]

Sorry, but I don't know how to increase the lift capacity on the 790.

[@intofire56]

Great overview, I'm a rookie to all this, I'm currently looking at a 2003 790 4wd 595 hrs very clean looks new, with 70 Bucket, so looking at your bucket 300 and the hydraulic lines, so there obviously is a big difference in the bucket model?... can I only pick up a bucket of water with this tractor compared to yours, 😂 and are the hydraulic lines for other attachments like the grappler and forklift etc., one other thing are all 790's 30 hp because I've seen search info imply 27.5, thank you ...Rick

[@clashavenfarms6714]

Rick, yes the 70 loader and 300 loader are different. I don't know the exact lift capacity but the 300 can lift a little more than the 70. The 300 is also a lot easier to remove than the 70. But a 2003 with 595hrs is a nice find! So if the price is right I would say go after it. You are correct on the horsepower search info. Horsepower is often rounded up when it comes to marketing by companies. Thanks for watching and commenting. Good luck on the hunt for a tractor!

[@intofire56]

Thanks such a quick response and info, I'm worried about lift and cutting with bucket...the tractor is immaculate no leaks no rust $19,000, thanks again

[@Menentios69]

Just picked one of these up for cheap, nice review!

[@clashavenfarms6714]

That's awesome, you'll love the tractor. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@kebo57]

@Menentios69. How cheap did you get it for? I might be selling mine next year and was wondering what they bring now. What year model is yours and how many hours? Was it 4x4, and have a loader or not? Thanks.

[@Menentios69]

@@kebo57 not sure on the year but 4x4, front loader,brush hog, and a leveler with a good 1200hrs. Only paid 4k but that’s because I knew the guy and he had no use for it

[@kebo57]

@@Menentios69 OMG, you practically stole it from him! If you want to sell it, I'll give you $5k for it today lol. It looks like from my internet research, they typically go from about $9k up to $14k or so, in good shape with less than 1000 hrs on them, depending on appearance, etc.

[@Menentios69]

@@kebo57 your correct but heck I also bought a dump truck with a 454 for 1000, perfect addition to the farm lol

[@tinysparky]

I'm the middle of the seat there was a black knob. Vlose fast open slow. What is that? And on the right side there is a small black lever. Shows a lick symbol up down left right arrows. What is that? Thanks!

[@clashavenfarms6714]

It gives you the ability to run the 3-point control without being in the operators seat. For example, using a 3 point log splitter. I've never used it, but it's a very useful option depending on the types of attachments you use. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@VerifyVeracity]

@@clashavenfarms6714 Hmmm... 'without being in the operators seat' I don't really think so, but maybe I'm wrong,....... to me it seems like it really just used to slow down or speed up the rise & fall of the the attachment that is connected to the 3-point connection. This does come in handy I've used it often to do just that.

[@MrDoc73]

I didn't know they made the 790 in 2008. I thought they switched it to the 3005

[@clashavenfarms6714]

Mine is definitely a 2008. I'm pretty sure 2009 was when they switched to the 3005. I'm not an expert, but I bought the 790 because I was always happy with my old 650, and the 790 seemed to be the best upgrade.

[@MrDoc73]

@@clashavenfarms6714 I love my 3005, wouldn't trade it for nothing. Stay safe!
