New toy day

[7740 man]

did the 475 at 62hp not have the perkins engine all the rest had the nash engine

474 also was 62hp with International engine. I think they fitted Perkins engines (475) as there was a supply issue with the int engines at the time

Front spool?

know some people have run an extra hose off the rear spool so they can use the D pad on the joystick. I miss not being able to fully configure the mid mount remotes. When the facelift cab gets down to the T7’s I’m told we will have that option.

Have a set of the same mowers coming for September in nz. How did you plumb the lift for the front mower, did you run it off a flat face fitting or run a pipe from the back ?

No mid mounts on that tractor, it's got pipes run to the rear spools and piped up so all the mowers are controlled off the d-pad, you only need to take your hand off the joystick to side shift

Good choice of mower, we will upgrade the rears to match one day. What size tractor will you run them on?

We have a couple of T7.250's and a 245.
Slight overkill but its good on the hills.

As ever it depends. If you use the original purchase price on the machine I sold less than £10. If you use the price of the new one more than £10.

So a good average I think
