The LP7505 is a larger model and retains the flip-up hood seen on the LP605, which allows easy access for engine maintenance or battery charging. Of note is that the manual brakes have been replaced with new automatic hydraulic brakes; when pressure goes down, the unit brakes automatically. If pressure goes up, the brakes are released. Other features include new scrapers to avoid material adhering to the drums as well as a new hydraulic oil cooler to better control temperature in hot working environments.
