Glad to hear you like the tractor. How many acres do you work/ have? I only have 32, 25 is tillable. Was thinking hay and the extra hp would sure be nice.

We were looking at the 6520 when we decided if we are going to buy a tractor than we should buy one that can run any implement out there with out being under powerd. Plan on buying haying equipment next. Did order a 12 volt water proof receptical for the phone charger. I do not understand why you can get one on a lawnmower but not most tractors???? That was the one thang I liked about the cab tractors. Will be beefing up the scoop and adding tow hooks to her pretty soon. I will get pictures as soon as I slow down...LOL might be a whils.

3/8 plate on the sides and 3/8 angle on top does the job nicely.

Thanks, you just saved me the time looking this post up:thumbsup: Back in 1986 I worked for DNR of Missouri and they did the toe hooks to there buckets. Personally love the Bronco. I had a 77 Bronco with a 351 W.

We have 73 acres since we don't have the haying equipement yet, I did shares with a local hay cutter. The farm that we just baught had not been used in 4 1/2 years so you can imagian the over growth that we are dealing with. We were able to hay about 60 acres for the first cut. But with what I got done these last two days should be about another 5 acres we can hay. The rest of the fields are blackberries bushes that we are going to have to get rid of.

Mine started with a 302 but we kind of submerge it playing around. So instead of rebuillding it we built the 351w rebuilt the tranny, drive shaft, and rear end. Had all the mechanicl work finished stated saving for the Fiberglass body parts and I got married.

So project had to go do to ataking care of new famaily.
