[rustyjeep]

Well I finally did it! They just delivered my new tractor yesterday. WOW WHAT A BEAST. This thing is really something. It will literally move mountains. Im trying to find some thing it will not do...(probably wont float in mud gotta watch that) SO far I love it...all 4.2 hours of it

also forgot to say that my dealer was great. I went to his lot last week and drove it . Called him monday and told him I wanted it. The whole deal was done over the phone. SIgned the paper at my kitchen table when it was delivered never had to leave the house,dealer is 70 miles away. I hope the service continues, I had to go to the dealer today after work, noticed one of the quick disconnects was leaking,I called and told them and they said if I wanted to buy one locally that they would reimburse me for it...Well couldnt find one so I drove there to get one, can you belive they wanted to pay for my gas!!! I didnt take his money I told him remember that when I want to buy a backhoe!

Rustyjeep,
Congraulations on the 7520. It is amazing the word Beast always comes to mind. Keep the dealer happy and he will keep you happy. You will love the 511 BH. I love my 511 hanging on my 6520.
hugs, Brandi

I'd love to have a 6520 or a 7520 at some point down the road. With everything my 4110 can do those big beasts would be great.

Well, I still say the ideal situation would be to have a 20-Series sitting right next to the 4110. Can you imagine getting up in the morning and thinking to yourself: Do I want to just knock down a few odd trees and pull a few stumps... or shall we take out a whole forest???

I do see a second, larger machine becoming reality once the GF and I find and buy our New Hampshire property. The only question will be: 20-series with a 511 or 611? Or a decent, used commercial backhoe? ...the latter putting a lot of pressure on the 4110 to perform all of the anticipated 3-point work.

Doug, I may have mentioned this sometime in the past, but have you ever thought about a 6000 or a 6500 to hang that 511 off the back??/ yea, verily, it's the Old School type tractor (you sit in it), but I ain't found anything it can't do so far with the 264 loader and a 78" bucket....Oh by the way, you may also find its few thou' less $$. BobG in VA who had his 6000 (the original "Beast"before anyone ever dreamed that a 7520 may be in the offing....)

I admit it. I do love the look of the new 20-Series as well as the full platform. I am a modern tractor kind of guy. Plus the 17 GPM of the 7520 would support a Bradco 611 backhoe (as best I can tell, the most powerful attachment-type backhoe made).

But who knows what I'll finally end up with? Everything will depend on finances and deals (new and used) available at that time.
