Well, my B7500 is now officially broke in with 501 hours! I'm still VERY HAPPY with the mighty baby 'Bota. My only complaint still is the amount of dust, seed, leaves etc. the engine sucks into the engine compartment.

Bascially in the 500 hours, not a lot of issues... A stick poked a hole in the radiator. A stick pulled off a hyro hose (a great time to change all the fluids and filters). A seal on the front wheel went bad, and I'd put too much hydro in and it leaked but the dealer when ahead and repaired a leaky FEL hose and dropped the excess fluid and all at no charge).

Now, if I had it to do all over again, I'd do it!

I wanna bigger tractor now, a bush hog machine, a 4X4 3130 or something about that size....Wait, will a 3130 pull a 6' bush hog?

Keep the B7500 for the small projects where the L3130 is too big or weighs too much.

I think the TWO tractor idea is brilliant :D :D

Hey bo, the B7500 is an awesome machine, we ran one for 6 years before jumpimg up to the B3030. Our 75 also developed a front axle seal leak due to tons of fel work with no rear counter weight. I really wish i had kept the smaller machine, we are wheelbarrowing landscape materials into areas that are too tight for the 3030. Im guessing my next machine will be a B7610 or a L3430. One thing for sure, i will not be trading in my B3030 HSDC !
