Here she is!!!! (My new B7800)

Hi Daryl,

My dealer said I wouldn't have a problem without the block heater either. But for $72 installed, I figured it was cheap insurance! I know me, and I'd be really ticked the day it was 25 below zero and it wouldn't start! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif I put a post out (on New Holland by accident /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif) regarding block heaters and everyone who responded said they were a good thing to have. Less wear on the cold engine by having the oil flowing freely right from startup.

Grand Rapids is nice. I'm only 10 minutes from down town. We tend to get tons of lake effect snow thanks to Lake Michigan. I still have my Craftsman 28" blower that will have to get me by this winter. I've spent well enough on myself this year. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Brooster:

Let me know if you are interested in my 60" woods. I deliver steel to Center Mfg., both plants. The one in Byron Center and the new one in Wayland, so i'm in the neighboorhood so to speak on a regular basis. I could take some pictures of it if you are interested. It would fit your new tractor to a tee.

I've included a picture of my "office" my day job. Farming is a sideline.

Somehow, I think you are going to heat your new tractor home. Is the pug going to be allowed in? I think when Amy and I visit this summer, i'm going to put the 5030 on a trailer and bring it with me so you can play with it!!

Daryl,

Huh? I missed the boat somewhere along the line. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
I'm not sure what you are talking about when you mention a 60" Woods. The only other thing you talked about in your previous post was a snow blower. If so, go ahead an attach a picture when you get time. Not sure if I could swing another thing this year though - after all, I just purchased the B7800, loader, Woods 60" Brush Bull, King Kutter II 60" tiller. My wife has been terrific to accept all this. Of course, the majority does benefit her horses!

Not sure which way you come when you deliver to Wayland / Byron Center, but you drive by my place as I am right off US 131 - 100th street exit. I can hear the traffic of 131 all night long!

Thanks!

Update

Well I was finally able to use my tiller today (KK II 60"). All I can say is truly awesome! This thing did such a wonderful job on my clay. We did finally manage to get 1.4 inches of rain Saturday, so I'm sure that helped soften the ground up a bit. At first I was a bit apprehensive about going with the 60" for fear it would be too much for the B7800. I am glad I stuck with my original thoughts because the tractor didn't have one problem. The tiller was chunking around on stones here and there, but did a beautiful job of obliterating the weeds and creating a nice soft soil.

Totally happy.

Re: Update

Fine looking tractor.I have the B2910 which about the same tractor.The only thing I see that might be wrong is the grill guard is on backwards.The black rubber cushion should be facing the tractor.This is what it says in the front loader manual.I think it's there to protect the grill if and when you pop (take) it off. Mine was on the same way. I just turned it around.There are four bolts holding it on. Also it's a tight fit so I had to watch the paint.I used a little bit of touch up paint what did get scatched.That is a great tractor and I know you will get a lot of fun ,I mean a lot of work out of it.
