Our new tractor finally arrived! Was supposed to show up in early september, but the factory got behind on IVT 7R tractors. We used a 8260R and later a 7930 to do corn silage. We still have some cobmeal to harvest and lots of manure to haul.
This tractor was ordered with the 50km/h, 32MPH transmission for pulling dumptrailers and the new manuretank. It will also pull a 16 row planter in the spring. It has IF800/70R38 tires on the back and IF600/65R30 tires on the front, no duals. The large single tires are a lot nicer on the road because the tractor is narrower and they provide a lot of flotation in the field. It has a front hitch, but no front PTO, we can add one if we want to retire the 7930.
Not a great picture because the focus is wrong, but you can see the cab suspension cylinders.
Handy steps to get to the window, mirrors and GPS receiver.
front suspension and fender stops. Looks complicated, but it is pretty simple, the bracket turns the front fender when it gets close to the frame without hitting the frame.
front hitch folded down. Took off the toplink for now.
2630 with SF2 for autotrac and planter, regular commandcenter runs the tractor.
The main section of the hood folds up. one latch holds the front side panel and 2 latches hold the rear side panel, they come off really easy. They are there to direct airflow, but it looks very clean too.
