New M7060HDC12 pics

[PSDStu]

Here are a few pics of my new M7060 12 speed which I ordered being worked on at my dealer. They are installing the 2nd remote, Air Ride Seat, Radio and 3rd Function. They will also be widenig the rear wheels and installing the rear wheel weights from my M6060.

Hope to pick it up first of next week.

My 6060 is an open station and I wanted to ahead with a cab. The 8560 or 9960 would have been great but I can get all of what l need handled with the 7060.
Really looking forward to the 12 speed!

smart move to get the heavier duty 12 speed. looks like you scored well

Yes I like mine very much. Mine is about the same setup with cast rear wheels.

I picked up my new tractor yesterday and here is a pic of it loaded on my trailer getting ready to head home.

Now I'm jealous. You can't find one,up here in the salt belt that isn't rusted out. Beautiful truck. Love the color!!!

Very nice tractor, I think you are really going to like it; love that truck.

Richard, we just lucked into a 2003 or 2004 rust free F350 that needs a little work, but pretty sound. I just can't bring myself to use my brother's new F350 on the farm. My other brother has a 92 GMC 454 gasser that flat lined some time ago.

At least with a 7.3 you can do a lot of the work yourself. The new trucks almost require all the work be done by the dealer. I'm sure one day I will get a newer truck... I will still keep my trusted 1997.

That would be my problem with buying a new truck. My 2000 fits me nicely. It's rusting out and has some farm rash but it's comfortable to use. I'm hoping to get another 4-5 years out of it. It's got 220K miles on an untouched 7.3L. I only put on 1K miles a month so it should do that.

Most definitely. You should never sell that truck. You wouldn't get half what it's worth. And it can not be replaced.

It's all original except the air filter which is a Tymar..and I installed a larger downpipe. At 61 I'm not into chips and stuff...it's my tow vehicle. ..not the fastest..not the other hp or torque...but it gets done what I need it do.

I'm 65 and am the same way. My youngest Son recently bought an '05 6.0L for a song. Did the "fix" and has a very solid truck. Recently added a programmer. I teased him and said the only reason he added that was so he could keep up with my ole 7.3L. We trailer offroad buggies couple times a year and I trailer my tractors average once a month. I don't set any landspeed records but I'm consistent!!!!
