This haul was from my honey hole but they are trying to sell everything bc the guy passed away in December. There is a Lathe and Mill there in decent shape and a nice looking Drill press for 300$

I had the B7610 and now I have the B7510 and love the thing . I still have less than 400 hrs. on the thing and use it just about everyday . I went out and bought all the attachments for the tractor over the years . 60 inch undermount mower deck , grader box , rake , post hole digger , 3 pt. stump grinder etc . I would suggest to you to put teeth on the bucket if you plan on doing any kind of digging . Best money I've ever spent . Gotta love the Bota's !

Had a 7610 for many years in Georgia. It was used daily to pull a manure spreader through the barns.

This looks kinda like the guy that I have purchased a bunch of my stuff from !!! And I’ll be going back up there in a few weeks and I’ll try to take some pictures of stuff he has to sell and actually it’s everything he has and he has the most that I have ever seen since I got into all of this anything from lathes to mills to surface grinders

Went to an auction around here and the auction house had 1 guy sorting , stacking and making descriptions and a list for over a month. The Company is well known and local, They borrowed every farm trailer They could find (over 30) and still did not have enough. I waited over 2 hours for 1 line of trailers to sell and what I wanted was 1 1/2 line further away. I had to give up as nowhere to sit and had a foot injury. 3 buildings still had more in it. Auctioneer said it would go over 1 million with several tractors and old road making equiptment. Just a small farm about 500' from a country road, You would never notice it driving by. Biggest private auction I have ever seen.

Unfortunately mine was cursed by a ham-handed mechanic on the original assembly. They spent three days trying to get the lawn mower to fit without rubbing on the rear tires. Turns out a couple days after I received it I checked the tires, they had over 50 PSI. Alternator belt was too tight, burned out the alternator. Cap left off the mower gear casing, so it died of dust/dirt. Just a long list of issues, most of them that didn't show up until after the warranty expired. Obviously I should have gone over the whole thing with a fine tooth comb after the tire issue, but when working long hours things slide.
