7520 questions

[Slippy]

Jon: You got some great stuff! You are really going to like it. I have pulled my Mahindra 6000 with wheel weights, 511, loader, etc with my 2500 chevy truck on a 12,500lb tandum axle trailer with no problem. Of course with trailer brakes and leveling bars.
Looking forward to some pictures.

Oh, and by the way, I pull a 10' rotoray cutter with my 6000 and it does a good job, although a little under hp for the hills and thick grass. I all so, like you, use a smaller cutter for the trails.
What size and type bailer and cutter are you going to be using with the 7520?

Slippy, are you going to look at the new 8560 if they ever get out? I looked at a new 7520 back in Feb at the ag show. Some changes that I liked, one that I didn't like. I'm sure that the new 8560 model is going to be a very nice rig.

 

[Slippy]

Yes, I am sure I will look at it. Although since I bought the International 1086 with 140 pto hp, not sure I need it at this point. 6000 is still running strong and plan to use it to pull the bailer this summer. But, I am very curious to take a look see. You thinking yes?

Without a doubt I will look, and look hard at the cab model. But we bought a Case 1200 Traction King 4x4 last year for disking. Have not used it yet, needs tires, but with 120hp, it should pull our 12 offset disk around like it's not even there. Probably need to find a 16' now. Just what we need, another disk. We have a 4', 6', 8', and 12' disks now, all Kilfer (John Deere) offset pull disks if I remember correctly. Might think about selling the 7520 if the price is not to high on the 8560s. But I doubt it.

I apologize if offended anyone because I did not mean to imply that Texas was better than Kentucky. Though I have only been here just over two months, I am liking it very much.

No offense taken. It was more a poke at Brandi! See I'm from KY. Been here all my life, and she's uh well from you know, that other state.
I like the mountains too much to ever go far from them.

I'm beginning to wonder if they didn't mean 2018 instead of 2008 for a release date on that 8560. Too bad for them a week or so ago I would have traded no question about it, but the more I use the 7010 the more I like it. I'm really liking the cab and even found a use for that low low range. I think I'm going to like having a great big compact tractor!

Joel,
I will take your word that it is almost as good. I never have been to Kentucky.

Well just schedule your next vacation to visit the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area. I'll give you a guided tour of the park in exchange for some help in the chickenhouses!

Joel,
<chuckle> Mountains? We have mountains here in Texas. Here are a few photos from last summer. I would love to have property near Fort Davis.

Here is another shot of Texas Mountains looking out over old Fort Lancaster.
