790 for firewood

[NatureBoy3030]

Id like everyones thoughts on a 790 for firewood for our homestead. I love everything else from what Ive read about the 790s except that its a little light in the FEL dept. But will it matter?
I love the praise on this machine otherwise and they certainly are available.
Everytime I see other JDs and Kubotas I like, I call and they are sold. Thoughts appreciated from those that have or have had or ran them.
How are the cycle times on the loader?

Some years ago I was looking for a used 30HP compact utility for a town owned farm that I was a trustee of. They were always gone when I called. The 790 could work very well for you. Guys doing any amount of firewood will buy/build a one axle trailer based usually on a truck axle/frame, that enables them to haul a good amount of four foot wood out to where they process it. The trailer puts weight onto the tractor for traction.

My used BX25 Kubota DLB came with beet juice in the rear tires. My neighbor has the same tractor (less backhoe and loaded tires) and I am pleasantly surprised at how big a difference being loaded makes.

My Kubota L4310 with tajfun winch and grapple works great for firewood light enough it gets around in the woods with ease and it will climb a mountain. The hst is great for loader work
