Owned this 750 for about a year. Bought it to work at some land I'm developing for a "bug out cabin" in case things go south. Added a BH loader and replaced the waterpump. So far it does everything I ask. This is my first tractor...most folks said I need a larger model, but I disagree. I just take little bites! Might upgrade in the future as I need a backhoe, but for now the little 750 beats the heck out of a mule!
Oh, and I like the geared tranny! Never shifting gears would take the fun out of it! From reading others posts, hydro sounds too complicated for me /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hey Scotty,

The tooth bar is good for digging into piles of rock and moving brush piles, but for straight loader work I remove it.
Its impossible to back drag properly with teeth on the bucket.
The "heel" of the bushhog loader isn't low enough to use it with any force, so I have to use the cutting edge.
Great site! I've learned a ton. Figured I'd show my rig off /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Edited to add that I really need a ballast box. Rear tires are loaded but thats not enough weight. I've got a Hawse scoop that will double as ballast. I've just got to find a big enough rock!
