I have a Kubota B7610. It has 24 Gross horsepower. I cut about 8 acres of open field with a 60" MMM. I should have gotten a bigger tractor, but didn't, can't afford the upgrade. I was wondering if anyone had used a pull type rotary cutter with a tractor this size. King Kutter makes a 5'...

I am considering selling my 7610 to get a bigger tractor. Good tractor, just a little small for my needs. (2 acre yard, 8 acre pasture) I bought the tractor for 13,500 last year. It has a 60" MMM, no FEL, 90 hrs.. My dealer told me that if I sell it I will probably only get $10-$10,500 for...

I am considering upgrading from my B7610. I have two acres of lawn and have around 8 acres of field. I currently mow the fields with my MMM but this is slow and I can only do it if I mow regularly. I also have considerable hills. I have two questions, would the B7800 with a rear finish mower...

I have a B7610 with 60" MMM. I read in the manual that an adjustment can be made to the rear PTO to give it 950 rpm. It seams like this would allow for faster travel when operating a rfm or rotary cutter. Am I right?

I have a 7610, 62" MMM. I use the MMM to mow two acres surrounding my house and 6 acres of pasture. If I mow the pasture every two weeks the MMM does an acceptable job, but if I let it go it gets bogged down and i have to mow in low range to get a reasonable cut. This takes forever. 1) I...

I test drove a 7510 and liked it although it bogged down mowing tall wet grass and when climbing a hill (mower not engaged). I was in high gear. Is it likely that the extra 3 hp the 7610 offers would reduce this, or is this simply caused by the fact that I was in high. Also when rough...

I have been quoted $15,500 for a b 7510 "turf special" with 60" MMM and FEL. This includes Tax. Does this seem reasonable.

I am considering a 2230. I do however have to cut about 5 acres of pasture which isn't very level. Will the 2230 beat me to death on such terrain. If so, will all sub-comp. perform this way.

I have a 2305 on my property as a "demo." I like it, but while driving through my horse pasture it beat the heck out of me. It also seemed a little prone to tipping when going through ruts, etc. I am wondering if the rough ride is simply a function of the size of the tractor, or if it is...
