New B7500

GlueGuy · Feb 12, 2001

Got the new 'bota on Friday & managed to get 2.3 hours on the tach, even with the crappy weather we're having here. It dried out enough this afternoon for me to go over next door and have these photos taken with the neighbors digital camera.

First one is me with the large grin. Second was the neighbor's idea. Thought we should document the fact that it only had 1.6 hours on it when this was taken.

Hmmm. Maybe I should have merged the pix....

Bill -

Glad you posted all the picts. It's always nice to see a new tractor, and it's good to see you, neighbor! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

The T&T looks great, and I think having it installed before delivery was the way to go. Of course, Bird has made the retrofit project sound like easy fun, but some of us may have a little anxiety about tearing into our hydraulics that way, let alone tearing into our wallets again.

It occurs to me that I probably live closer to your tractor than I do my own. There's something not quite right about that. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

Glad you found a break in this weird weather pattern to get a little seat time. I hear there's more snow coming to low elevations tonight, but at least you're ready to deal with it now. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

That smile looks real familiar Bill, it's the same one I had when my tractor showed up. A bit of dirt on the loader, way to go! Thanks for the pics, and congratulations on your new machine /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Holy cow, this is weird. I have a picture of ME on MY tractor the first day I owned it, and it looks JUST LIKE YOU ON YOURS WITH THE EXACT SAME GRIN!!! I think we might be long lost brothers or something, or maybe we have the same virus, I think it is called IcantbelieveigotthisgreatnewtoyafterallthewaitingandplanningandworryingandIamsohappyIcouldjusteatshit -itis..

Congrats on your new tractor. I believe the "I can't believe I got a new tractor grin" /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif is universal. It will also appear on your face when new projects come up (most of the time) and also when you complete the projects. Most of the time I start grinning when I fire her up and don't stop untill about an hour after she shuts down. My wife thinks that I'm crazy!!! Imagine that!
Good luck with your new tractor,
Al

Hey glueguy great looking tractor. I am soooo very envious. Looks aren't everything but that tractor would look a whole lot better with me in the seat! Ha Ha Ha!
