Further 7520 questions.

[Slippy]

Is true! 7520 was not available when I bought my 6000. 6500 was not even available then either. Would not got from 6000 to 6500, and now not sure about 7520 since I heard they are coming out with a 90 hp tractor.

My un-authoritative answer is Yes, he got his problems sorted out.

I did a search of this forum using 7520 as the search word. I seem to recall that he finally got most if not all the issues corrected.

I too am stuck between a 6500 and a 7520. The 540/1000 pto is a "want".

Do I go with the tried and apparantly oh so true 6500 or the turbofied and oh so nice 7520?

The 6520 loader seems so very slow and it lacks the 540/1000 pto (WHY?) Lacking that feature that the 5500 thru 6500 4X4 have is a real goofy design oversite in my opinion.

Fastgun and Ih3444, all of Cuzpats problems did get resolved in less than a week once the dealer was envolved. He ended up with a properly working tractor. There had been a time that I had felt bad for him because I had so strongly recommended the 7520 to him. Figured that you should know.

Fasgun, note that you dont get to change the PTO speed conveniently from the seat with a shift lever. You have to remove the pto stub shaft and reverse it end for end. This forces you to use the fine spline for high speed. I was disappointed in this restriction and the unexpected inconvenience of the speed change. I was able to modify the shaft to get 1000rpm in either orientation, so I can spin the coarse spline fast if I want. Cant do much about having to take the shaft out to change the speed tho.

Is this 540/1000 PTO needing to be removed and reversed true of the newest models on 7520 and 6500 models?

 

[LAWALLSTRACTOR]

The 6500 is changed to 1000 pto rpm, with a shifter on the rear of the tractor, and the 7520 you have to reverse the pto shaft.

 

[fastgun]

Ok thanks for the clarification. I thought that I was shown a lever on at least one model, but it is hard to keep track looking at all the models on a first or second run through.

I'm keeping notes now so that my shopping will become more productive.
I'm getting as excited as my wife at a girdle sale!

Thank you

I don't think we will see 90HP for a while, however we will see 82HP, basically a 7520 with more HP. It will be designated the 8560. Has anyone actually fell short of HP with a 7520? I know it is possible given a large enough implement, but I've never had a 7520 buyer tell me he needs more HP.

The FEL is my stumbling block. The specs aren't there. It doesn't read to be anymore powerful than the LA18 loader on my TC48. A much more powerful loader can be had on the NH TN series, the LA32. The hp sizes are about the same as Mahindra. Can't understand why Mahindra has such a scaled down loader on such a beast of a machine as the 6000, 6500, 7510, 7520...Am looking for a possible replacement for my IH3444. I may just keep it. I was also wonderingwhat's the largest hoe that can hang off the rear of the 6000-7520 frame size Mahindras?

The ML275 (ML276 also) lifts 3900# at the pivot pins, giving a real world center of the bucket lift capacity of about 3200#. What are the specs on the LA18? The largest backhoe is a Mahindra (Bradco) 511 with a 11' depth measured with a 2' flat bottom.

I am with Dave here. I am not sure where your data is coming from, but the ML275/ML276 runs circles around the competition on a spec sheet.


Loader Specs :
Model No. ML275 542NSL 32 LC* LX132 LA1153**
Max Lift height (in) 132 126 128 126 132.7
Digging depth (in) 6.5 5.9 4 5 5.3
Lift cap. full height @ pivot pin (lbs) 3900 2500 2600 2650 2326
Breakout force @ pivot pin(lbs) 5500 3484 3900 3400 NA


* Break out and lift capacity measure at 31.5" inches in front of pivot pin

** Break out and lift capacity measured at bucket center

OK So I had this all pretty so that it was readable and it does not post like this. I will try a link to a speadsheet pasted to a word doc instead.
