B7500 vs JD755

[dinoedwards]

Yeah, gonna look at 2400H first tomorrow then JD 755.
Talked to JD owner, said after he topped off hydro after steering was loose...? ... found small puddle in garage under tractor NEXT day, buddy told him he may have over filed it? Who knows?
Apparently we are all looking at same ad...lol
Buyer beware.
Branson is 2021 with 400hrs.

Just that much info would get me to walk away from the JD.

Congratulations on your new tractor - you got a nice machine and a very good deal - including the 5 ' Bush Hog was a sweet deal for sure. You have been looking for a while, so good things finally happened - happy for you.

Now how about some more pics of your new machine? And you can finally update your avatar wheelbarrow!

Congratulations! Your patience seems to have been well rewarded.

As said above, we need pictures.

 

[dinoedwards]

Thanks for all you're help, delivery is Monday!
Ran good, everything works well. It was definitely used but not abused.
Powertrain warranty until 7/27 sealed the deal!
Never owned a Branson with this engine.

That looks like a good one. A better choice over the (great but older) JD755, even if it's $3k more... Are they charging for delivery? The Woods rotary cutter "thrown in" would've swayed me more than the warranty.

 

[dinoedwards]

I negotiated let's say for discounts all around, half on hog and delivery.
Bush hog is Woods 5' less then a yr old looks brand new.
I don't want to give myself all the credit, I'm sure they wanted to move this machine and they made it easy, seemed very honest about the whole deal.
I won't disclose final price but lets say it was less then asking plus half on everything else.
For my needs it worked out well, unsure of reliability of power train was a big factor so warranty makes me feel better.
BTW, their delivery charge was half the price from dealer down the street!
Time will tell if the motor lives up to it's rep.

Let's say out the door tax tag everything under 10,800
hoping and thinking that's a fair deal?

 

[Carl_NH]

Thats a very good deal in my opinion.

It looks like the bucket has a bit of a smile, of is it the picture? Did you ask about straightening that or you might want to have them add a 3/4" bucket lip - bolt on - that would help.

 

[dinoedwards]

Smaller in person, I'll add a lip myself, holes already there.

 

[tacticalturnip]

It sure sounds like you did well.

You must be excited, anxious to finally get out there and have some fun do some work.

 

[dinoedwards]

Yes, it's been a long search.
Glad it's over, hopefully this will last awhile.
Thanks again you guys!

Wouldn't hurt to ask the dealer what it would cost to add one now and a few bucket hooks. Cutting edges are $200-350 - just depends on the bolt pattern.

That bucket appears to be similar to this one from Ignite Attachments and they have a cutting edge for $175 a good deal. 60-Inch Compact Tractor Bucket

 

[dinoedwards]

Thanks I will.
Here the Woods

 

[dinoedwards]

I guess ur right, if there is a bend in that bucket they could bang it out while installing it.

 

[Carl_NH]

Very nice 5' BH - does the rope come with the deal? Are they the Branson dealer too for any warranty issues?

They might have a cutting edge in stock too - never hurts to ask,

 

[dinoedwards]

Told me they will do all warranty on it as needed.
Rope is nice chains would be better but have some here.
Not sure if I need a edge on the bucket just yet, looking for a 48" grapple as we speak since I now have a 3rd function with quick connect on loader.
He only had a 60" in stock. They are Kioti/Branson dealer.

Checked the auction in Fl today, B2920 FEL, Belly mower 585hrs sold for $8800. Not bad!
The L47091 went for 16k
