The 990 is a good tractor with a solid loader, once you get used to some of the awkward controls(such as switching a valve between the 3-point and the loader). Pretty much any loader tractor with good rubber that's halfway dependable is worth 3-4k to hobbyist beef guys. If it doesn't have a loader and needs considerable tire and wheel work, I can't imagine it being worth much.
A neighbor has a 990 loader tractor for sale with new rubber for 5k. He's pricing it a little high, but not far. My dad wants to buy it, but I'm trying to convince him to save the money toward a MFWD instead of buying another 990.
Kipps there is a little plate that can be changed on if I remeber right the top of the transmission,comes off a 995 and it makes loader "live" to use regular 2 lever loader controls or joystick ,, dad had 950 first with loader then traded to new 990 and re-used loader (a red loader) and later updated to a brown loader with its own controls,,that little plate to let oil flow to loader is only like $50...a couple of weeks ago a guy had a '79 995 with 2,700 org. hrs. for sale asking $5,000 CAD ($3,500 usd.) ,it had been for sale off and on for a long time,of course when I call its sold,I see it sitting on neighbours lagoon pump which is what we would have done with it |
