B7500 Finally Arrives

[dsinger]

A week late in arrival our new B7500 was welcomed with balloons and cake! (see attached) I then quickly put her to work. Moving load after load of topsoil down to the beach to plant grass. The R4's many of you suggested to me on TBN have worked well in the sand stone mix on the beach and yet do not tear up my turf. The FEL was easy to use. The 60 inch mid mount mower very easy to get on and off using the loader to raise the front of the tractor. My neighbor with his JD 4300 was amazed at how fast I took the mower off. The use of the rear scraper for grading is more difficult than I anticipated. I find it easier just to float the FEL bucket backwards. Oh well I will eventually figure out how to grade with the rear blade! The 3pt linkage was carefully checked upon arrival and the threads are allright. Our dealer, Ginop Inc., told me they just received an order of 40 B7500's so ther should be plenty to go around!

Congratulations on the new member of the family!

I've found that when spreading topsoil with a rear blade it is easiest to spin the blade around so that you are pulling it backward. Also, pull the top link in a bit so that it does not 'bite' into the ground. You'll find that it does a nice job of leveling freshly layed soil this way.

Hey Dan!

Congrats on the new machine, and welcome to the growing family of B7500 owners on TBN. We need all the help we can to avoid being over-run with these BX's /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
