Just kidding, I like my 7520.
This dealer would...if we ever see them! New model introductions are historically tardy. This will be no different.

By the way we had a 2006 7520 4x4 (with 1100 hours on it already) on our dyno the other day after a service. Dang thing held 75 PTO hp without breaking a sweat. To pull it down under 540 on the dyno at full tilt on the throttle took nearly 82 HP. Impressive. This unit is used in a huge orchard operation, mostly running 12-15 foot flail mowers. He is putting on 900 hours a year. He has two of these and 2 6000 2wd for the simple tasks.

Brian, if you want to buy in volume, let's get Mtn View Ranch Mahindra established and you could have lots of them.
