No question... the 7010 is a great machine! But what would I do about a backhoe? The whole idea of going after a 7520 is that it has the mounting ability and flow (17 GPM) to power a Bradco 611... the most powerful backhoe attachment of which I am aware.MtnViewRanch said:Actually, if I were to live in NH, I would be looking at the 7010. With those weather extremes, a cab would be a must and those 3 rear remotes come standard.
In that case, either a 7010 or a 6520/7520 would suit me just fine!

There is always the possibility that I will buy a used full-size hoe once up in New Hampshire. It would have heat and a cab. But I've still got to maintain the land. Not gonna pull a bush-hog around with a 15,000 lb hoe.
In fact, with a full-size hoe around, I could probably do just fine with a lot less.

Well, it sounds silly now while I am trying to work this funny little business out of my oversized 2-car garage... but up in the land of "Live Free or Die" old ladies use full-size hoes for personal gardening!!!MtnViewRanch said:A 580 Case exdendahoe, 4x4 with 4"n"1 bucket will suit you fine once you move. But then no thumb on an extendahoe, so maybe just a fixed stick.
It's a different world up there in the granite state. And like folk's say: They don't call it the granite state for nothing!!!

That's when you put it in low 1st and pop the wheel back down, sit back in that big seat and pray all that rubber around you doesn't touch the flowers.

That would be real nice. I am tired of the humidity here on the Gulf Coast. Oh for goodness sake! I would kill for that amazing piece of land you've got out there! Actually, that would probably be the only way I ever could get it since I could NEVER afford it!!!MtnViewRanch said:I actually looked long and hard at moving to New Hampshire back in the 90's.

It defies rational explanation. Still, it is the last place left around here where I truly feel like I belong. Just driving across the border into New Hampshire makes me feel like a free man again. We truly love it there!
