    Kubota B7800 Fair Price?

    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...

    How do I use my rotary cutter?

    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...

    Brakes not returning

    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...

    B7800 Losing Power

    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...

    How much could I get?

    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...

    Do I need skid shoes?

    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...

    Tires  Unloading Tires

    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...

    Blade Size and Type

    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...

    Can the B7800 Mulch?

    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...

    Tires  Loaded Tires & PSI

    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...

    Is a lawn roller worth it?

    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...

    Wiring a sprayer to a B7800

    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...

    Removing The Trans Fluid Screen

    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...

    Mowing Radius For a B7800 w/ 60\"mmm I am making progress on a pretty major landscaping job at my house involving putting in a large area of grass. I intend to outline around trees and other obstacles that will need to be mowed around with bark or some other material to make mowing easier. My...

    What to do with my septic field?

    We are getting ready to get our lawn and sprinkler system in and I am in a quandry on what to put over our septic drain field which is pretty much in the middle of our back yard. Our contractor told us we shouldn't drive over it with the tractor or even a rider mower - ever. If we want grass...

    Greasing the B7800

    I am loving my B7800 even more than I thought I would. If I could get it in the house and up the stairs I'd have it sleep at the foot of my bed. I'll soon be getting ready to do the fifty hour maintainance but in the meantime I am doing the normal start-up checks and greasing occasionally...

    Oops!

    Well, call me an idiot if you want but then please tell me what to do. I used my B7800 last Saturday afternoon and got the tank down to about a quarter full. I had about a gallon of deisel left in the gas can so I emptied it into the tractor and put it up with my other empty can waiting to be...

    Subsoiler, middle-buster or ditch witch?

    I am going to be needing to do some trenching pretty soon for about 2500 feet of sprinkler line. I am going to lay 1 1/4" schedule 40 pipe and I want it to be at least 12" down and preferably a little deeper than that. I am trying to remove any rocks I can find with my box blade but I'm sure...

    Rake  Landscape Rake?

    I am looking at getting a landscape rake. Well, I've actually allready made the decision to get one, just not sure on which one or size. Anyone have any recommendations on what size will work best with a B7800? I am going to for sure get at least a 72" but will an 84" work well also? And...

    New Lawn Plan

    Hi All, Right off the bat I want to appologize for such a long post. I am starting on putting in a lawn over a generally level but kind of bumpy 1 1/2 acres with a slight slope that runs across the area and a few "waves" running across the slope. I've got a B7800 with FEL and a 65" box blade...

    How Rought Is Too Rough?

    I just got my first tractor, a B7800. So far it seems like a great machine and I can't wait to put it through it's paces. However, being a tractor novice I am concerned about how hard I can push it. Do I need to worry very much about over doing it or will the tractor just refuse to work if I...

    Which Box Blade Should I Get?

    I am picking up my B7800 Thursday morning and I will have an immediate need for a box blade. The dealer I am getting the tractor from sells Bush Hog implements and a 60" BB would cost me $617. The other local tractor dealer has a 60" Woods for about the same price. I'm not exactly sure which...

    Make This Decision For Me

    I've posted here a few times and have gotten good results so I trust you guys with this decision. I have a B7510 parked in my driveway right now that the dealer let me demo. It has a 302 FEL, 60" mmm, rear fork and about ten hours (now fourteen) and the dealer is wanting 14,250 for it. I used...

    Got The Green Light

    My wife gave me her blessing so I was off to the tractor store to pick out my new toy. I've pretty much got it narrowed down to a B7510 but keeping an open mind. The dealer gave me the following quotes: B7510 HST w/ foldable ROPS and loaded bar/turf tires LA302 FEL 60" mmm $14,650 and he'd...

    What Attachments Will I Need?

    OK, I think my wife has finally cracked and is going to let me get a tractor. I'll probably be getting a B7510 or B7610 with a FEL (and teeth) and MMM in the near future. What other attachments should I get? We have five acres of which about 1.75 need to be landscaped - the rest is scrub oak...
