B7500HSD Price Check

[Glacier]

I'm a new user. I've been reading posts for a few days now, should have started a few months ago. After looking at a BX2200 have decided it does not have the ground clearance that I may require. I am leaning towards the B7500HSD instead. I have a couple acres of heavily wooded land (lodgepole pine). The house and garage are built and I would like to start cleaning up the property, moving dirt, dead trees, somewhat rocky ground, rock gardens/edging around house and garage and prepareing to seed for grass. Also want/need to use the tractor for snowplowing. The best price I got somewhat local (250 miles) was $17K, which includes a LA302 FEL, B2650 Snowblower, LandPride LR1572 Landscape rake, choice of tires-tubes/calcium filled rears, engine heater. $16,500.00 shipped from N.C. to Montana (scary). Many thanks for any comments.

Glacier,
Not sure if that is a good price or not because my B7500 came with a FEL, backhoe and engine heater. I paid $17,500. One thing though I'd go with the higher clearance B7500. You'll be happy you did. I don't know how I'd get around my 5 wooded acres with a BX22 or BX2200.
Have fun with your new tractor.

When I was shopping last year (TX), the best price I could get on a 7500 with FEL was $12,900. I'm not sure what the snowblower and rake costs, but this should help a little.

Glacier,
If you can get help on some of the implements, my costs may help. I just bought in northern Illinois a B7500 w/ LA272 FEL and 60" MMM for $13,800. The next closest was $15,000, then $16,800. Not sure if it helps.

P.S. Boy, would I like to ride on your tractor from N.C. to Montana just for the view! [img]/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif[/img]

I paid $15,200 out the door delivered for a B7500HSD with a 302 FEL, 60" MMM, filled R4 tires and a work light. I think the rake is about $365 and the snowblower is about $3000 if it is a front mount. I think my 60" MMM was about $2200 so I think my price with what you have is about $16,500. So your price seems to be in the ballpark. Hope this helps.

I also almost got the BX2200 but was concerned about the ground clearance. Glas I got the B7500.

I priced one at $12,900 - B7500 w/ LA272 FEL/ R4s. I think the MMM was about 2,500, didn't care as I wanted a RFM. I'm in NE. Ohio
