The John Deere 790 compact tractor was developed for the rural residential market. It was manufactured from 2000 until 2007, when it was replaced by the John Deere 3005 tractor. While relatively small in size, the 790 offered sufficient power, fuel economy and a wide array of available attachments to handle almost any job facing homeowners with a few acres to maintain.
Engine and Transmission
The John Deere 790 is equipped with a 27 horsepower Yanmar 3-cylinder diesel engine, delivering 24 horsepower to the rear power take-off (PTO). The engine is rated at 2600 revolutions per minute, with 540 rpm at the rear PTO and 2100 rpm at the midpoint PTO. The tractor has a dual-range, high-and-low manual transmission with a total of eight forward gears and two reverse. It is an unsynchronized transmission, meaning the tractor must be stopped to change gears or gear range. The top speed in high gear is 11.8 miles per hour at 2600 rpm. The tractor is available in two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive models. The four-wheel drive model has hydrostatic power steering, while the two-wheel drive model uses manual steering.
Physical Description
The 790 weighs 1,930 pounds in the two-wheel drive model and 2,105 pounds in the four-wheel drive version. It has a wheelbase of 60.4 inches and an overall length of 87.8 inches. With the three-point hitch attached, it stretches to 111 inches. Tractor height with the rollover protective structure, or ROPS, in place is 82 inches. It is available with either agricultural or turf-style tires. Front ag-style tires are 5.00-15 for two-wheel drive or 7.00-14 for four-wheel drive. Rear ag tires are 11.2-24. Fuel capacity is 6.3 gallons of diesel fuel, and hydraulic oil capacity is 4 gallons.
Attachments
The most common attachments used on the 790 tractor were a John Deere model 70 front-end loader, a Deere model 7 backhoe and a mid-mount mower deck. The loader has a .17 cubic yard capacity and a full-lift weight limit of 755 pounds. The backhoe has a digging depth of 90 inches and a bucket force of 1945 pounds. John Deere sold a wide variety of other attachments for this tractor including landscape rakes, several different size box scrapers and blades, post hole diggers, snow blowers, cultivators and wood chippers.
Availability
Although John Deere ceased production of the 790 tractor in 2007, many of the 790 tractors remain in use. Used models and replacement parts are still available. Prices for used John Deere 790 compact tractors range considerably based on attachments and the tractor's condition.
