So what's the problem?
Tractors are not afraid of rain!
Welcome to the 7610 club.
That rake does not look heavy enough for ballast. A good backhoe will give you about 800 to 900 lbs of ballast

No, neither the tractor or I are afraid or rain, but grading and tilling mud do'nt yeild the results that I'm looking for. Plus, the turfs on the B7100 leave impressions on the lawn when it's wet; the R4s definitely will.

As for ballest, SWMBO said "No Hoes!" ( I really don't need one.)
I have the ballast box with about 400 lbs in it, and I'm going to put WWF in the rear tires.

I'm getting the impression 15K is way too high! It is a B7510 with the LA302 loader, 60" Kubota mower (guessing MMM but does not specify), Woods PHD w/ two augers and 60" rock rake. Machine has 120 hrs. Any one care to opine on what that package might be worth?

I will take a stab at that. The tractor, loader, MMM would probably be a fair trade for about $12,000 may be another $1000-1300 for the rest. The hours are very low but it still is not worth 15k. In my neighborhood that would be about the fair price. Not a steel but fair.

Thanks easygo. May give them a call and see if they still have the machine. Worst they can say is "NO"!

My B7100HST left for its new home this evening.

It served me well for the short time (11 mos) that I had it.

I haven't had time to put the B7610 to use yet, but will this weekend, after I change all the fluids and filters.
