Backhoe New 6500 4WD with 511 Backhoe + PTO Pump

The new tractor finally arrived and I got right to work testing it out. Took some pictures for you guys!

The first one is the 6500 being backed in next to my old tractors. BobG_in_VA is going to be upset with me, as I am trading in a farmall 400 and an M for the 6500 (no not even close to an even trade /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif ).

this one is a side shot of the 6500

so sad, the 400 being driven off. They will be back for the M as they need the skid loader to get it on the trailer since the front tires are shot.

I really liked this old tractor but it just wasnt safe on the hills.

view from the rear. I like the clearance so far. You can't see it in the pic but the red between the tires is actually the front bucket. I'll have to set these tires out later for stability.

Side shot of yours truly and a possible future operator.

NICE GOING TIM !! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
You look great on that machine, please be careful with your
child on the tractor. Also order some oil filters for that first change.

Thanks! Yeah, I know not to have kids on the machine. It was off and it was a photo op /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif. My dealer includes filters for the first change with the purchase.
