This is a hands-on walkthrough of attaching winter implements to a John Deere 5090R rather than a review of the tractor itself. The owner shows greasing and mounting the JD 540R loader, hooking up a Snow Way V-plow with its hydraulics and electric switch, and mounting a Frontier SB156 rear snowblower, with rough time estimates for each step. Useful for 5090R owners setting up similar loader/plow/blower combos, not for shoppers evaluating the tractor.
