First time poster, long time lurker here. I pulled the trigger on a B7800 with folding ROPS, loaded R4s, FEL and 72"mmm. I paid about $17,800 for the rig. I also added a 60" Landpride rotary cutter and a 64" Landpride tiller.
My only question as of now is in regards to the tiller. I had originally asked about a 58" Landpride tiller thinking it would be "about right" for the tractor. The dealer quoted me a retail of about $2400 on the 15 series and told me that he'd sell me the implements at his cost to get me to buy the rig. He claimed his cost on the tiller was $1800. I didn't really believe him at the time but it seemed like a fair price based on what I've seen elsewhere. Anyway, when the time came to seal the deal he explained that he didn't have the tiller but that he did have a 64" 20 series and that he'd let me have it for the same price. That would appear to blow holes in his contention that he was selling it to me at his cost. Don't get me wrong, I don't begrudge him a profit and think he made me a fair deal, I just don't like being misled. Anyway, the 20 series tiller for the same price as the smaller 15 series seems like a no-brainer.
Anyway, on to my question. Will the B7800 handle the 64" tiller alright or should I ask him just to order the 58 incher for me? I'll use it primarily to till up a small garden and for tilling pumpkin patches and wildlife food plots. Thanks in advance. By the way, I'm expecting delivery either today or tomorrow. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
