Brian: Looks real nice and thanks so much for taking the time. Now that I look at the rear, it appears that it is the draw bar that looks close to the ground. Have you looked at that or had any trouble with it? I have a 6000 and have not had any problems, but I think it is lower on the 7520. Will measure the ground clearance this week and send another email just to let you know.

Another question...how do you like the handling of the 7520 compared to the 6500? Can you get it around like the 6500? Looking at the specs it has about the same footprint and a little heaveir. I have a large farm and do some trial work. It is tight in a lot of places and concerned that longer tractor will not let me get through. How does it do on hills?

I really liked the 6500, but I LOVE the 7520. It is so much easier to get on and off with the open platform. As far as handling, you really wouldn't know any difference between the two. I have very hilly ground and both the 6500 and the 7520 works well. I feel very safe on both. I do wear my seatbelt especially in some of the places I have been. I was pushing the limit, very dumb I know, but they are truly a workhorse.

I'm not sure what the ground clearance is but I feel that the drawbar is actually a little taller, but I may be wrong.

The height of the drawbar is adjustable on the 6500. I moved mine after I got it.

After doing some more checking, I have been informed it is the pto that is set lower. I still have not seen the rear of one so can't compare it to my 6000.
