Bought a Tractor - Sold a Tractor

Thought I'd show you guys my new toy. Been thinking about getting a bigger tractor for a few years now. My little JD 750 was nice, but it just lacked the horsepower I need for some bigger tasks. It was also only 4' wide and I often found it a little tippy on my hills and wood roads. Found this JD 990 about 45 minutes away, and after 2 trips to see it, made a deal with the owner...40 HP, 4WD, power steering, only 400 hours. It came as a package with a 7' york rake, a 6' back blade, a 5' box blade, a 6' JD brush hog, a rear ballast box, a set of forks, all manuals, tire chains.

It arrived today, and I also made a deal earlier in the morning to sell my 750. Perfect timing.

I'm going to try a 6' snow blower on the rear and a snow blade on the front this winter. Should also be fun next spring on my land getting some food plots established.

Hey you forgot to mention the backhoe. Mmmmm Drooool.....
 
Nice "up-grade". Should be much improved performance for you.
 
Nice find, you should be real happy with that new one.
 
And with 400 hrs, it is kinda "new"
 
Nice find and close to home.
 
Nice upgrade. Same color also. Great timing of the sale also. Couldn't ask for more.
