I have owned two Kubotas. The first was a 2001 B7500 and the second is a 2005 B7510 (The reason for two of the same tractor is a long story). Anyway, on my B7500 when I would park it in the garage on the pavement, I would put the bucket down with the front of the bucket resting on the...

I am going to fill my B7510 tires with water since I am in Arizona and don't worry about freezing. However, I am worried about breaking the tire bead after I jack the rear wheels up and take out the valves. Has anyone had this problem when filling tires? I understand that once you break the...

I have never seen what the difference between the two are. I am looking for a 5' landscape rake and have seen a 1 pt and a 3 pt from AgriSupply. There is a $5 difference between the two but the 3 pt is not in stock. What is the definition/differences of the two? Also has anyone purchased...

I am going to purchase a rake for my B7510 and am going back and forth between a 5' rake and a 6' rake. The 5' rake would cover my tread even if I angle it. Weight isn't an issue. I am considering either a Leinbach or a Land Pride. The Leinbach looks like it is very well made. I would...

I got a B7510 with a folding ROPS and decided that I didn't like it (problems with alignment and hassle of folding each time to put the tractor in the garage) and I do not intend on ever getting a BH. Called the dealer and he came out with a fixed ROPS and had it changed in 15 minutes. Only...

Are the foldable ROPS and the fixed ROPs interchangeable? It looks like the ROPS subframe is welded to the tractor and the top portion is held on by four bolts. I would think that it would be a matter of taking out the four bolts and switching. Has anyone done this? I am looking at switching...

Just got my 7510HSD today and I have a ROPS problem. I had a hard time getting the bolts out to fold it down. The left one goes back in easy but the right one appears to be stripped and I can only get it in about 3/4 of the way. I can't tell what condition the nut is in. Has anyone had this...

Got my 7510HSD delivered today. I had a 7500HSD for 3 years so I feel right at home. The only difference is the foldable ROPS. Not sure I like it and I could get a fixed ROPS in the garage. The foldable ROPS is about 2 inches too tall. I have a problem with the bolts that are used to hold...

54\"\" BB Too Big for B7510? I had a B7500 that I had to sell when I left Michigan . I had a 48" First Choice BB on it and had no problems. Now that I am in Arizona on a little over 1 acre, I just got quoted and accepted a quote on a B7510HSD with an LA302 FEL and a Land Pride 54" BB. The...

Just bought the dealer's last 4010 here in Tucson. As I mentioned I was looking at the 2210 but as it turns out he gave me the 4010 with the 410 loader and 4' box scraper for $1100 less than the 2210. The total cost (out the door with tax and delivery) was $12,800 with the 410 loader and 4'...

Sold my Kubota B7500 and am looking for something to work some dirt, etc. on my 1.5 acres here in Tucson. After looking at a few of the price checks for a 2210 on this forum, I was shocked to find that what I am getting quoted here in Tucson looks very high. The quote for a 2210 with a 210...

I am planning on shipping my B7500HSD from Michigan to Arizona in the next few weeks. However, for the car hauler to transport it, the shipper needs some dimensions. I do not have access to the tractor, it is in Michigan and I am now in Arizona. I was hoping that someone with a B7500HSD may...

I just did my 50 hour service and I was worried about how much fluid I would get on the tractor, the garage floor and me. I was worried after reading a number of horror stories about the amount of hydraulic fluid some owners had gotten all over everything. I hardly got any on any one of the...

Just did my 50 hour service and I found it to be a lot easier than I thought. I was surprised to only get 2.5 gallons out of 3.3 gallons (75%) out of the three plugs plus the filters. The dealer thought I would get about 3 gallons out. Has this been about what everyone else has gotten out...

After putting the 60" MMM on my B7500 today (it was easier than I thought it would be for the first time thanks to all of your threads) I can't remember what tractor RPM I should be mowing at. I can't find anything in the manual. I started at 2000 rpm but that seemed slow. I then remebered...

I just noticed that when I turn on my lights on my B7500, the blue lights on indicator on my dash doesn't illuminate. There is no mention of it in the manual. Is this supposed to light up when your lights are on? Thanks.

I need to put up an inexpensive building to house the tractor and implements. I have decided on a 20X21 enclosed carport with a 9X7 door and two windows. I can get it completely installed for about $3200. The area I want to put it in is sloped with the high end being about a foot higher than...

A co-worker has a 38 HP L3710 Kubota and would like to clear the edge of his pond of cattails, etc. The pond has a bank almost all the way around it so it makes it difficult to get to the edge. How do you clear your pond? I suggested a boom pole with something attached to it that would drag...

I cleaned my MMM yesterday and had a problem getting some of the black residue off. I used a metal putty knife followed by a plastic putty knife and a stiff brush so I wouldn't take off the paint. It was mostly in a circular area around each of the blades. It is a very light amount. I don't...

I have a B7500HSD with a 48" First Choice box blade that I used for the first time to grade 300' of driveway with 100' of it up and down a 25 degree grade. Since this is my first experience with a box blade I found that it takes some practice. The driveway has not been graded in about 5 years...

I noticed that some members know what their member number is. I am just curious what mine is. How do I see it?

I just used my 48" box blade for the first time. Graded the driveway fine but it took a lot of practice. I do have a question about position control. I would put the blade all the way down to smooth but I'm not sure if it was just floating or not. Does the 3PH work like the loader? All the...

Does anyone make a cover for a mid PTO? I don't feel comfortable with it uncovered doing FEL work. Thanks.

Position to Clean Mower - 60\" MMM I removed my 60" MMM from my B7500 today in the garage. Now I have to clean it up for storage, lube and remember to take the tension off of the belt. With the rear wheels it is going to be difficult to stand on its side to clean the bottom since it rolls too...

B7500 60\" MMM Removal After reading many posts about how hard it was going to be to take off my mower for the winter I was apprehensive about taking mine off but dove into it today. Only took about 20 minutes the first time. Of course I did take advantage of all of the excellent advice you...

Still waiting for my box blade. Gave the dealer $100 so he could order it. I have been waiting over a month. The dealer said that the First Choice guy was coming and would bring it with him. That was two weeks ago. He showed up minus the box blade. He said the demand is so high that they...

I know living in the country has pros and cons. One of the cons is living on a dirt road. We dust the house and a couple of days later it is the same. We run the A/C a lot with the windows closed. I have had the ducts checked and they are clean. Our furnace pulls outside air in. The house...

We had a thunderstorm go through the other day and the very large oak tree out in front of my neighbor's house was struck. The tree is about 300 feet from my house. The tree was struck up near the top and traveled down several limbs, all around the tree and put two holes near the bottom of the...

As I mentioned in another post, the guys who stained my cedar deck screwed it up royaly. I just got a quote for $1125 to strip, sand, and stain my cedar deck. He said that if I had called him first the cost would have been $500. My question is should I go after the first idiots. They wanted...

Well I learned that lesson the hard way. I went with the low bidder by a bunch. I posted a little while back about power washing cedar. They said they would take care of what I perceived as damage when I was at work. It got worse. They stained the deck and it looks horrible. I could have...

I am going to put up a 12 X 20 Building to house my tractor and some other stuff. I finally found a ready made shed with a high enough door. Anyway I can get the concrete cheap enough ($500) for just a slab. Do I need a rat wall (18" recommended)? I am not sure if this size shed will be...

Well I went and did what just about everyone told me not to do. I had the cedar deck that was put up last fall power washed in preparation for having its first stain. I had it done by a couple of guys who gave me a good price. They said they have done many cedar decks with no problems. The...

I moved out the rear tires two inches on each side on my B7500. Is the increase of 4 inches in tread width going to make it that much safer when working with the FEL?

At my request the dealer moved the tires on my B7500 out to the second to the last outward position. He then moved the roller to it's highest position. The MMM goes all of the way up and does not hit the tire but it is close. The manual shows this tire position for the 60" MMM. I had this...

The dealer will replace the parts of the tractor that got gouged and scratched at the house. He is ordering them and will have the parts early next week. I forgot to ask him if the clear plastic in front of the instrument panel can just be replaced or the whole instrument panel has to be...

I have an idea prompted by something that happened during service of my tractor. I have noticed that there are threads in other places regarding dealer service but I think it would be helpful for prospective tractor buyers to have a place to go to evaluate what manufacturers/dealers have good...

The dealer shall remain nameless until I see what he does with the damage caused during a repair. The leak is fixed (subject of another post) but the plexiglass on the instrument panel is gouged and appears to have a pin hole and the black plastic that covers from the instrument panel to the...

I was wondering what booms are used for besides lifting things. I saw some boom poles that were $75 and was wondering if they are that useful. Has anyone used them for anything other than lifting? I would like to know if they are worth having around if they will only get occassional use.

I live in an area of Michigan known for its sand and gravel pits. My yard will get hard as a rock if it doesn't rain everyday. If I put some water on the ground it will be gone in no time. I am also tired of rocks. My yard consists of whatever will grow in this soil, mostly weeds. I am...

Whew. The dealer showed up today and looked at the tractor and found the leak pretty quick. The mechanic took off all of the dash controls and the steering wheel and moved the plastic cover back. He found a power steering leak. It is a cover on a unit mounted on the steering column below the...

I have a B7500HSD that I plan on putting in a 12' X 16' or 20' shed. The literature for the sheds says that the wood flooring that is used will support a minivan. I am trying to save some $$$ after spending $15K on a tractor and implements. Has anyone else used a setup like this? The...

I posted earlier regarding a B7500 transmission fluid leak and I am worried about the transmission. The tractor only has 6 hours on it and I got a leak. When I checked the dipstick it was bone dry. The tractor has been sitting for 12 hours. The question I have is if the dipstick is bone dry...

I have a Craftsman 15.5 HP lawn tractor with a Kohler engine that is about 7 years old. The tractor is in pretty good condition. The engine has been great but I have a problem with the deck. I hit a small stump that must have heaved up somehow in sixth gear while mowing and ripped the deck in...

I have a 7500 with 6 hours on it. The tractor is barely a week old. I have a leak that drips down on the front of the MMM about in the middle and collects in the well of the MMM. It is either a transmission or hydraulic leak. I can't see where it is coming from but there are drops of fluid...

I bought three acres about a year ago that has some telephone poles in bad places. All of the poles (except for the pole with the transformer that goes to my house) have been there for many years before the property was split. My property has a pole that is a junction that goes four ways. One...

Does anyone know where I can get a complete suspension seat that will work on a Kubota B7500? The B2910 has a seat that is more than just a couple of springs and the JD ten series have one that is very comfortable. My ground is really rough and I get thrown around a lot.

I don't want to offend any NH owners or potential buyers on this forum but I am curious if what a Kubota dealer told me is true. He told me that the NH Boomers, or at least some of them, use a Kubota engine. He said that if a competitor is using their engine it speaks for itself. Is this true...

I am in the process of shopping for a First Choice Box blade. There are two dealers near me in Michigan. One dealer has a BB20-60 in orange and is asking $350 and one has it in red and is asking $275. The first question is should I go with a BB20-60 or a BB20-48 for my Kubota B7500. The...

Got my B7500 with a 302 FEL, R4 tires and 60"MMM two days ago. So far with 4 hours on it, I love it except for some minor things that maybe someone can help me with. I did a half an hour of FEL work and nearly three hours of mowing so far. The cut on the weeds that act like a lawn was superb...

Well I went and did it tonight. Got a B7500HSD, 302 FEL, and a 60" MMM. It will be delivered on Thursday. I was ready to purchase the BX2200 as everyone recommended on the post I put in but something I remembered from a post I read here changed my mind. If I could find the thread I would...

I just got a quote on the BX2200 with a FEL, grill guard, loaded turf tires and 60" MMM. The price includes a worklight and 50 Hr. maintenance kit. The total is $12,310 out the door delivered. Does this seem like a good price? Based on what I have seen on this great forum it seems to be...

I have been racking my brain trying to decide what to buy. I have 3 acres that is pretty much all lawn (actually weeds acting as a lawn for now). I am going in Monday to get a tractor and have decided on a Kubota. My first inclination was to get a 7500 and then liked the 2710 so much better...

I read that Kubota will require insurance if I finance part of the B2710 I plan on purchasing. The dealer said nothing about it. Is it true that I will have to get insurance on the tractor like you do for a car loan? I was assuming that the tractor would be covered under my homeowners insurance.

I am not sure whether I should push the issue with the tractor prices I have received. Tomorrow morning I am going to the JD dealer to go over the 4115 for the last time and the Kubota dealer to go over the B2710 for the last time and make a decision. As I have said in other posts, I got out...

I have narrowed my search down to these two tractors. The JD 4210 is nice but it is about $800 more than the B2710 with an FEL and 60" MMM but it is more tractor than I need or can store easily. I drove the JD 4115 today and liked it except for a few things. The tractor is noisier than the...

I ran across a used B2410 HST 4X4 with a 352 FEL, 60" MMM, a 6' blade, 5' bush hog, turf tires and a folding ROPS for $16,500. The tractor only has 27 hours on it. It is a 2000. With that many hours on it it is like new except for a couple of small scratches on the hood. I don't need the...

I got quoted $17,500 out the door for a 4115 with a 410 loader and a 60" MMM. That is with R4 tires. What do you think of this price? I can get a 2710 Kubota for $500 more with three more horspower and the same equipment. The kubota seems bigger.

There are two items that might keep me from buying a B7500 and opt for the B2710. The first is position control. How important is this if you are going to be maintaning a 200' driveway and maybe using the blade to clear a rock covered driveway? The other question is the dealer mentioned that...

I have been looking at Kubotas for some time now and narrowed it down to a B7500HSD or a B2710 HST. I have a quote for a B2710 that is $18,002 delivered out the door. This includes the B2710, 402 FEL, 60" MMM, R4 tires, loaded rears, and a rear work light. This is the best I have been able to do...

I am not sure what tires to get with a Kubota B2710 or a B7500 (still undecided about which to buy). I will be mowing about three acres and doing a lot of FEL work in the near future. I will also use it to clear about 200 feet of driveway in the winter. I have heard that the turfs will...
