I am. I'll need some competition to be able to hit the reserve, but that's moi!

I just hope Jeremy can find me an orphaned ML275 looking for a nice, new home!!!

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

I like the look of that tractor how it stands really high on the front.

Looks like a powerful tractor for the money. What you got planned for it?

By the time the GF and I hit New Hampshire, I will need a bigger machine for land clearing/maintenance and building my dream home. I've talked about that before. With an ML275 and a Bradco 611 backhoe, this machine would be dang near perfect. Meanwhile, I've been actively looking for a second/backup machine to immediately expand my job range. This machine would clearly fill the need on the upper bounds of that range!

I have a ML275SKC in my yard. That would be quite a road trip. Florida for the tractor, California for the loader!

Oh Lordy yes! But that's the whole issue: What's it gonna cost me to transport back and then add the loader and BH subframe (so I can at least use the 509 on it temporarily). I can afford the tractor... but can I afford the whole shebang?

I'm guessing some rich person is gonna snap it up at the "Buy It Now" price before the reserve is hit. But if not, my dream of owning a 7520 could finally come true. Just need a REALLY good deal on a ML275... somewhere a bit closer to home!!!

Does anyone on here have one of these tractors set up like this? That front end looks like it is jacked up quite high which would shift a lot of the weight to the rear as well as make visibilty kind of poor. Is this a factory set up or did someone change the front tires? Or is this picture just give the illusion that the front end looks like it is ready for take off.

The visibilty is one thing I dislike about my 7710. It is a great tractor but is an open field tractor. If you want to work around something close it is terrible as you can't see anything down low in front of the tractor. And the cab has metal supports running horizontally right in your site line if you lean over to look down by the front wheels.

With it being on pavement, it looks to be riding high in front. But I am used to seeing a loader and it's weight on mine. My 6520's step is level. This one's step isn't. The 7520 has a tad bigger tires then mine, but that is front and rear, so it should be level also. It might have too much air in the front tires. I have lifted so much dirt with my 7 foot bucket, the front tires went ALMOST flat with the air pressure correct in them. Does all 7520 exhaust stacks lean back like that? My stack goes straight up, but isn't hooked to a turbo either.
Visibility is great on mine. If one wants to see right in front of the tractor, just stand up and hit the steering column pedal with your left foot and you are ready to steer standing up. I love this feature.

Dougster,
After you get her home , and a 511 strapped to the rear, move that canopy back a few inches so you won't have rain dripping off the canopy onto your nose while running the BH.
