We have had an open station M7060 for 1 year now. It's bigger than we needed, so it doesn't get worked as hard as it should. The dealer told us it would regenerate every 50 hours or so. In reality, it happens every 10-12 hours.
Our typical duty cycle involves 10 min of idle time while the implements are setup, an hour of operation, and 10 min of cleanup. If I can manage it I shut it off instead of idling it, but that isn't always an option. If you are planning to use it all day, every day, I'm confident it would be closer to the 50 hour interval.
With that said, the regenerations aren't really a problem but they can be inconvenient. If they happen in operation, it's hardly noticeable. The exhaust makes more of a whistling sound, but it doesn't affect the power output. This past winter we did a regeneration while running the snowblower at 15F and didn't have any issues. Most of the time I end up just parking it and running it at PTO speed for 15 min until it finishes.
I do have the cast centers and loaded rear tires. With the loader fully weighted, it could use more weight in the back. I'm thinking of picking up a set of wheel weights. There are also times that the front end is a little light, even with the loader.
Overall I've been very happy with the machine. Good luck!

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
