New Bota arriving this week-B7500

dsinger · Jul 22, 2001

Just wanted to thank all the forum members aiding my decision to purchase a B7500 which will arrive later this week. I originally posted a message one week ago asking for help with tire choices for a BX2200. I was so impressed with the pormpt response and displayed knowledge I searched further into the forum to learn more and purchased Muhammed's book "the Ultimate Tractor Guide". Concerned about clearance in my woods and the many benefits listed by Glueguy of the 7500 vs the BX I took my wife down to the Bota dealership. She actually agreed that the B7500 repesented more tractor and the extra clearance would help! with her blessing I ponied up the extra 2000 dollars for the bigger Bota.

Congratulations, Dan. That book can be a big help. I'm sure you'll be happy with your decision.

I also had to make the hard choice between the BX2200 and the B7500, this forum and all it's members were an invaluable aid in making my decision to go with the B7500 also. Good luck with yours, I don't pickup mine till later this year.

Congratulations. Funny how my wife also played an instrumental role in the selection of the B7500. I guess we're pretty lucky guys./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I know some of the other members are probably going to think I'm beating this to death, but when you get it can you please check the lift arm adjuster for the 3ph? Check the following post for the details http://www.tractorbynet.com/cgi-bin/compact/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=owning&Number=54833&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5. I would appreciate it, and hopefully you don't have this defect.

My 7500 will arrive with 302 FEL, 60inch rear scraper, 60inch midmount mower, block heater, filled rear tires,the tires will be all R4. I chose R4 to work in the woods and to work on a stone beach. I will be careful on the lawn taking it out of 4wd and watch the turns! My next purchase will be a chipper to run off the rear PTO. When my new baby arrives this week I will look carefully at the lift arm of the 3pt as suggested by Paul and will let everyone know if I note worn threads.
