My New Machine???

[Nightrain1]

With the feedback having a couple previous bidders claiming their items were misrepresented, I would'nt touch that tractor unless I could actually see it, up close and personal.

Yeah, I kinda assumed that was the case... although the other loader brands may have some sort of work-around.

I'd bet the workaround includes buying the backhoe they sell that matches the loader.

I'd like it better if he was 100%, but if you read the details of the feedback it doesn't look like a big deal. Some of the feedback looks rather petty. But yes, I buy no machine without seeing it and running it.

I am far more concerned about the bent stack and possibility of turbo damage.

Ouch!!! If true, there just went my plan for the Bradco 611...

Work-around? Down here we call them cutting torch & welder.

Oh brother!!!

I do not disagree that Taxachusetts could benefit greatly from a healthy dose of Lone Star state attitude... but I think I'd still want any new (to me) tractor to still be mostly Mahindra Red instead of "torched and slagged" blackish-gray!!!

And by the way... tonight's trivia question for the 20-Series crowd: How come you can get a 509/511 backhoe on a 6520 4WD and a 7520 4WD... but not on a 5520 4WD???

These sorts of questions bother me...

Oh yeah... and some BLUE paint too! Right Brian???

New Holland Blue #(63/00) 9613385DS. Now we all know that you would never actually do this, but when you do there is the paint number. Not that it is any of my business, but I would consider the 7520 in New Jersey just because of the loader and a lot less hassle.

Just my opinion and that isn't worth much.

Actually, I very well MAY do that! If you look closely, this 7520 needs some body work up front and the paint is not exactly pristine. Plus I've been looking at your 7520's online pictures and I gotta tell you that whoever did that work did one amazingly good quality paint job! Or did you cheat and buy all new decals???

I am 99.7% sure the New Jersey one is gone. You remember how I sent you the link to the listing on tractorhouse? Well, I tried emailing and calling the guy and I never heard back a darn thing. Now the listing is gone. I can only assume it was sold or traded.

Hey Brian... Feel like selling me that nice BABY BLUE ML275???

New decals, but is that cheating? I thought that that was the right way to do it. You do have to admit, my blue 7520 does look though. I do wish that it was powder coated instead of just painted. Oh well, we all have to live with the decisions that we make.

Ah-Ha!!! So you did cheat! I should have known!!!

If I should end up with this used 7520... which is actually looking a little doubtful based on prices I'm seeing for ML275's and other acquisition costs... I would definitely be doing some bodywork and repainting. The used 611 I'd get would likely be black... and naturally I would want the collar and cuffs to match!
