Combines JOHN DEERE 7520

We run one years ago. It was a loaner from a dealership while they put a new engine in our 8430. We loved it and didn't want to give it back!

They were more stable a tractor than the 30 series 4x4's.

We have 2 of them have about 9000 hours on one and 6500 on the other I dont think we have spent 5000 dollars on the pair they are now both for sale. We went to a 40 series to run the air drill and the grain cart live pto works so much better

John Deere sold 2,000 7520s in 1974.Both the 8430 and 7520 have about the same drawbar hp.

I have a 1972 7520 and a 1975 8630. The 7520 has an intercooled 531 turbo 6 cylinder diesel engine and is rated 175 hp. It does not have a "live" PTO.I wish it did for the grain cart. I like mine quite a bit but it isn't near the horse the 8630 is and it uses more fuel to do the job. The axles are 3 3_8 diameter compared to 3 5_8 diameter on the 8630. The 7520 has a good cab for what it is but isn't as quiet as the 8630. The hydraulics are good and we are going to use it this spring on a team of drills if its not needed to help with tillage. In my area a 7520 will bring the same money if not less than a 4020. If you want a good cheap horse, this is the animal. One more thing, the 7520 has the same motor as the 6030 two wheel drive tractor.
