We are selling our house and I have no need for my tractor anymore. It is a 2004 Kubota B7800 with bucket and under mount mower deck and turf tires. Not sure how useful the mower will be to the potential purchaser but I don't want to sell it separately. It has lived outside most of it's life...

I just bought a used Howse rotary cutter for my Kubota B7800 and it didn't come with the instructions. I hooked it up to my tractor and tried to give it a quick test. I am finding that in order to keep the front edges from dragging along the ground and tearing everything up, I need to keep my...

I have a Kubota B7800 and posted a while ago about it losing power at times when under load. I and a couple of other people thought that it may be the brakes because I could not roll the tractor on flat ground when it was in neutral. I finally had a chance to take a look at it and it turns out...

I have a B7800 that I bought new about six years ago. Moderate home use over the years and though I have pushed it at times, I have generally kept up on maintenance. Last year I noticed when I used the mower deck it will struggle and bog down when going even slightly uphill or cutting longer...

After two seasons of using my mmm on my B7800 for mowing ~ one acre I have decided that we would be better served by a regular lawn tractor for mowing. So I want to sell my mmm (RCK-60) but I'm not sure what I could get out of it. It is in pretty good condition and I will replace any part that...

I just bought a Bush Hog 3506 rear blade to use mainly for plowing snow on ~1200' of gravel drive. My first attempt worked in the end but was not pretty. We had around eight inches of wet snow which was not a challenge at all for the blade or tractor, however, the operator did have some...

Well, my B7800 has been a great asset in doing all of our landscaping and while it has a loooong way to go until retirement it is seeing less heavy work these days. Now it is being used to mow the lawn at least once a week and regrade the gravel drive once a month. I still do some material...

I just went to my profile and looked at all of the posts I made and all of the great answers I received. It made me realize just how helpful and generous everyone on this site is so I just want to send out a big THANKS to everyone. I'm trying to return the favor now by helping answer other...

I am looking for a rear blade for my Kubota B7800. I will use it mainly for clearing snow a handful of times a year (up to 12" deep) but also use it on occassion to do some light duty grading. So far I have gotten prices on Woods, Landpride, Bush Hog and King Kutter. I am going to look at...

I have a B7800 with a RCK60-24B mmm. First off, I assume the deck does not come with mulching blades, am I correct on that? I don't even know what mulched grass looks like so I can't tell myself if it's already doing it or not. Assuming that I do not already have mulching blades on it are...

Probably a dumb question but I'll ask it anyway. Do loaded tires have the same PSI reading as unloaded tires? In other words, say I have tires speced for 20 psi. If the tires are loaded should they still be inflated to 20 psi or does the material inside them effect the pressure? It seems to...

I am thinking of getting a lawn roller but not sure if I really need one or not. I'm in the process of planting grass right now and got all the dirt really quite smooth with my box blade and landscape rake. I am going to till in some amendments next and then install a sprinkler system. After...

I just got a 15 gallon sprayer with a 12 volt pump and I need to wire it to my B7800. I suppose the easy way would be to use the alligator clips straight from the battery but I was hoping to find a solution where I can have a plug at the back of my tractor for it. It uses different shaped...

I am finishing up my 50 hour service on my B7800 and only need to clean the transmission strainer and put the new fluid in. I don't have a large enough socket to get the strainer off so I tried to use some vice grips. Didn't budge it with those so I guess I'm off to the auto parts store...

I have 56 hours on my B7800 and am doing the fifty hour service. I have changed the engine oil and filter but now I have a couple questions I hope somone can help me with. 1) My dealer (who carries Kubota and Deere) gave me Deere Hy-Gard Transmission and Hydraulic OIL to put in. Will this be...
