Hey guys, Im new here. Was just trying to locate some info on this tractor that Ive been looking at. its a 2003 b7500 HST with 578hrs. It has a newer subframe mounted BH6000 woods hoe on it. First off is that even a good combo for this tractor? and 13000 seems a little high for the whole unit from a private party. It is really clean, I can say that but still. Id appreciate your input, y'all seem to be the experts on the subject. thanks so much.

I am using to do some light to moderate drainage work, grading and some stump removal on about 7 acres between my place and my dads.

I have a 2003 b7500hst, 4whldr. With the woods backhoe 6' , 12 " bucket. & loader.
340 hrs, it has been a reliable machine, outside of normal service maintence,
i have purhased some stering parts, the front tie rod that ties the wheels
together, and the horizonal steering bar, these parts just got floppy,
and the front wheels would look like they were out of alignment.
Have replaced the front 3 times, and the horizonal 1 time.
The shop thought it was because i was in 4whl drive all the time,
this tractor is used in remote alaska, i have kept it at safe rpm's typically
1500 , stump digging is good on old stumps, beattle kill stumps and small
birch, old growth birch 12" or more, i dig around the stumps and cut thru
the roots, and than dig it out the next season.
Hope this helps
