    Not a bush hog?

    True! When I drove the tractor through the woods last weekend I had both the bucket and deck off, might have to reroute that particular end of the trail loop, that wicked bar from everything attachements looks amazing! As I used the tractor to dig out a big ugly bush on the corner of our yard...

    Not a bush hog?

    Unfortunately not, sometimes if I'm not making the swing right on my grizzly 700 atv I have to reverse and reswing. I completely missed the Rachet rake, just watched a video! I'm thinking chainsaw to move the 3.5 million down trees, rachet rake to clear vegetation, box grader to make nice and...

    Not a bush hog?

    Hahaha, well, currently its under about 6" of water as the river floods over after heavy rains so burning isn't too much of a option here either hahaha! I do plan on getting a box blade so maybe I can just use that for a year or two until its nice enough to use the belly mower......

    Not a bush hog?

    Yup, loader and 60" mower, dealer dropped it off last Saturday for a free "try this out and see if you like it, we'll do the paperwork whenever ..." flail mower is out of the budget, maybe I oughta try working it with the loader for a year or two, get the trails perfectly level with box blade...

    Not a bush hog?

    Thinking even a flail might be tight, as well as way put of my budget.....it comes with a 60" belly mower, but not sure ground clearance will work in the woods, maybe if I clear it and work it over with the loader, but even then...hmmm....its pretty wet and all sorts of crazy plants due to it...

    Not a bush hog?

    Working on buying my first tractor (B7500), and trying to figure out which implements to work into the deal. Definitely getting a box blade, the seam to be supper versatile, and have a 200' gravel drive way with parking pads enough for 8 cars, so seems like a good idea. Anywho, back woods is a...

    At the point in my life.....

    I got lucky, 30x80ft pole barn built 20 yrs ago came with the house......so she'll be nice, dry, and clean! But even if it lasted to 3k hours, that's 2,250 more to go, if I average 2 hrs a week, it will last roughly 20-25 more years! I'll be 65 by then!

    Might look into a reverse 3 point blower, and after talking to people, it's not like we get a ton of snow here and it's not lime a camp where you could have feet in the driveway next time up, but either way, I'm pretty sure our plow truck will be around another 5-10 years

    At the point in my life.....

    Interesting! Thanks for the input! So not so much that all the compact tractors take the same blower, but rather, the mount for the 7500 still being available. Ok, that makes sense! I honestly kinda wonder how long this tractor will last as I could see putting maybe (after I get the implements...

    At the point in my life.....

    Yeah, bout $250 for the set, but definitely worth it. As I was a GM master technician for 15 years at nearby dealerships, and now work on forklifts and industrial materials handling equipment....... I know about maintenance [emoji28]

    At the point in my life.....

    Huh, was thinking this to be a "for now" tractor, then down the road get a new one, but after seeing 2k hrs as kinda usual, and this one having 750, perhaps she will last me a lot longer than I think! It's not the 3 point PTO attachments I'm wondering about, it's a front mount snow blower. Are...

    Good god man! That would definitely take me a lot of years to get that kinda hours!

    What's the quick attach do? Thought I already had it on this as yesterday I popped on and off the loader in about 3 minutes. (Drop the legs, pull two pins, unhook hoses, curl bucket in to lift mount, back out) sounds like you might be able to answer my question I originally asked, is the...

    Oh, forgot to mention, on the 7500 the rear stance is adjustable with the drive flanges, no spacers needed. Just loosen the clamp, remove pin, and slide in or out to set your wheel width. Kinda a cool feature they dont offer anymore, makes me wonder why.

    At the point in my life.....

    Dont think I'd honestly need bigger, 5 acres gets leased out for straw, the front yard and around the house got anew rider last year 50 in. Hydro cub cadet. So that leaves about a half acre field (extension of lawn, but a little too rough for the cub cadet unless you go 1mph) a trail out back...

    Got a 2011 silverado with a plow on it we currently use, after that dies, might sell this one (providing I get it) and buy a new one with all the goodies.

    Hmmm...... that's a bummer, but not a deal breaker. Was thinking, my mom (71 yo.) Has a 2011 Silverado with a plow on it we use now. Might just buy this, use it for 5 or 10 years till ma decides to get rid of the truck or it dies, and sell this one, then buy one with all the goodies!

    There's a rough one at another dealer bout 5 miles from me, 1k hrs, same setup, for $9k, supposedly this ones in great shape, all maintenance done regularly, I think the dealer said 400 hrs, and was thinking $10k. I'll find out tomorrow when they drop it off for a free weekend.

    Huh, curious, what sensor wire would be on say, a 50 inch snow blower and mount? Some kind of rpm sensor for a display or something? Just curious. The dealer owner has been friends with the company I work for owners for a long time, and not uncommon for them to barrow eachothers equipment. He...

    At the point in my life.....

    First post, just joined, and need a little help answering roughly 15k questions hahaha. So, bought a house last year, first time home owner, 10 acres (5 leased out for hay and get a free pig every year, 3.5 wooded, 1.5 lawn) and have been wanting a "tractor" for roughly 20 years (40 now). Being...
