New Workmaster 75 Delivered

[WM75Guy]

Took delivery last week. Added third function and R4s with wheel weights. Everything else I wanted was standard equipment such as 2 remotes, radio, air ride suspension seat, and buddy seat. Still waiting on WR Long to ship the brush grapple and 10 square bale hay grapple. I did want a third remote but the part kit is not available yet. Dealer will install it for cost of parts when it is available.

I really like the cab and air ride seat, makes a big different mowing.

Good looking machine. But I'm surprised - when I was tractor shopping a couple years ago the Workmaster line was only available as open station machines. No cab!

 

[WM75Guy]

Thanks. The new 55-65-75 hp Workmaster series is only available with a cab. The new series is built by CNH in Turkey. It has the sloping hood like my TC40DA. The older 50-60-70 hp Workmaster series is open station. From the look of the hood the old series is made by LS. They still sell both series.

My cousin has a 75 with 1500 hours and zero issues.

One fine looking machine. Blue is nice.

Nice looking machine. Do you by chance know what the actual height is?

Thanks. Height is right at 100 inches. Manual says weight is 3100 kg or 6820 pounds and I believe it. I added 440 pounds of rear wheel weights as I don't care for loaded tires.

Repowell, really nice tractor. Are those the R4 tires? I got to drive around a WM75 cab w/ R1 tires a little bit when I was a NH dealer manager. Yeah, I'm a blue fan, but honestly a buyer'd be hard pressed to find all the features and capability at the price point of those new Workmaster Utility 5 series tractors. I have a TC40D which I love, and I wish I could justify a WM55! One point, though, you can get an open station in the new WM75 only (unless options have changed in the past 4 months). WM55 and 65 only come in cab version, yes. I am not sure how much longer CNH will offer the existing WM50, 60, 70 series tractors (they are made at a NH plant in India, IIRC). They in themselves are a good value for a customer needing a robust open station tractor.

Keep us posted on the new tractor!

They are R4s, I will be running across the yard to unload and stack hay in the shop and stables. Didn't want to tear the ground any more than necessary since the horses get ridden around the buildings. Was a $900 option to swap out the R1s for R4s. Was another reason I went with the Workmaster instead of the PowerStar. The PowerStar does not have R4s as an option.

I still have the TC40DA. It is great tractor. I traded in the Boomer 8N so now both my tractors have an FEL. Took a bit of a hit on the trade-in value not having an FEL.

I went with 1550# of Rimguard in the rears and a 1050# Rhino rear blade on the 3-point. I lift heavy with the grapple.

How is your WM 75? How many hours and any issues? I知 thinking very seriously about trading my WM 60 in for one to get a cabbed tractor so my boy can ride with me more. Seems most things I do I知 do hands on or it痴 to hot/dusty to let him ride safely with me.

30 hours so far. No issues. Having a cab and avoiding the dust and heat is great. I burned some large brush piles last week, being able to sit and watch in comfort was nice. The radio works great, I plugged in a flash drive with my favorite music. It does take a little getting use to the reduced visibility of a larger, taller tractor when hooking up to SSQA implements. I am looking at a 12' cutter for field work in place of the 6' I have now. Will keep the 6' for use around the trees with the TC40DA.

Appreciate the response. I’ve eyed this tractor since it was released but kept putting it off. but It’s starting to get warm again and out there the other day it was already just to hot for my little boy to stay on it and he did not like being left. It’s looking like I’ll be buying it, but I’m going to think in it a few more days. Thanks

 

[BMan2005]

Repowell, I couldn’t let you be the only WM 75 owner on TBN. They are setting mine up now. I appreciate the response and looking forward to bringing it home

 

[WM75Guy]

Congrats. I really like mine. Have a 3 day weekend starting tomorrow to get a lot of mowing done. Because of back issues I mow in mid range 2nd gear at 2.4 mph so I can walk the next day. It is a little slow with the 6' cutter, about 45 minutes to do an acre but more time to relax and listen to music.

 

[BMan2005]

At least you’re clean and comfortable.

Did you leave your tires factory set or widen it any? If so how does it match up with your bucket width? I want to widen mine slightly but would like the tracks to still be covered by my bucket back dragging if possible

 

[WM75Guy]

I have R4s with the factory set. It's close to covering the tracks.
