Great!! You will love the tractor. Just as a warning, the next 2 to 4 weeks will probably seem like 2 to 4 months!!!

Forgot to ask in above post.... Did you end up going with your local dealer??

Hello Gary, yes the one in Lenoir, who I have bought the previous non cab m6800. Cannot wait till the tractor gets here. What type of bushhog to you use with yours?

We have an older 5' Bush Hog brand that we have had for years on the farm.

inseeme: a 6' brush hog is a good match for the 7040. have a bush hog model, woods is good too. 6 footers are a bit pricey though bb

BB I was really thinking about a 10ft pull type bushog and was really considering the bushog brand. It would mainly just be used to mow my pastures.

I have a 6 ft'er on my l5030 and find it a bit small.

I've pulled this one right here with my 7040 and it is a hoss of a cutter, but the 7040 handled it like it was not back there though. I was only trimming pastures though, I was not cutting 3' tall grass.
