First of all, you guys rock. Thanks for all your input.
I checked with the next closest dealer, and get this:
5500 4WD with loader: 24940 (was 31200)
6520 4WD with loader: 31135 (was 39000)
7520 4WD with loader: 33370
At these prices, I will at least get a 6520, but I'm thinking about the 7520 now. It lifts 5500 at the
3PH, and with the higher capacity hydraulic pump I will have more flexibility in the future.
What PSI do these hydraulics run at? Couldn't find it on the website.
Is the 20 series transmission still a manual? How does it work? I need to get to the dealer soon and do some test runs!
My farm is in Buckingham Virginia, 1 hour south of Charlottesville.
