Look what followed me home! A B7500!

After 12 hours in the truck and almost 650 miles (with a 2 year old), my bota is home!

Hope to get some seat time tomorrow.

Congratulations on your new tractor.

Yeah, I've seen the danged things do that before...they see an empty trailer and sneak up on it while you're stopped at a light or a drive-thru. Then, when you get home, you get out of the truck and have a major "what the...?" moment They just sit there with those big puppy dog headlights and know they've found a sucker who'll pamper it, give it fuel and oil and grease...

Congrats on the new ride and that's an odd coincidence. I just bought the same tractor but was lucky enough to find it 10 miles from home. Even odder is that I found it as I was driving down a road that I haven't been on in years resulting from a completely spontaneous chain of events. Its almost like it was destiny.

I picked up the manuals last night and should be getting the TLB w/ MMM tomorrow. Not sure I'll be able to get a lot of operating time on Sunday seeing as its Mothers Day but at least I'll have it to look at.

Everything with the tractor, truck and trailer went great. Even the 2 year old was pretty good. The only problem I had was that none of the credit union branches in that area associated with my credit union had enough cash on hand. That added a couple hours to the trip.

My old, beatup $800 trailer performed like a champ. This was it's longest trip so far.

One thing that did pleasantly surprise me was how easy the bota drove up on it. My N was always an real pucker experience to load.

I can't take the empty trailer past a Kubota dealer anymore. Got home and when I went to unhook the trailer, a box blade was sitting in there. Didn't have the heart to take him back so I adopted him.

Well worth the endurance of 12 hours with the 2 year old! The B7500 is an awesome tractor, i ran one myself for 6 seasons! Reliable as the sunrise, simple to service & she will run all day on a tank of fuel!
