kubota b7500

I am wanting to buy a B7500 but I want to hear from some of you that own one and tell me how they perform for you and what you like and dislike about it. The one I'm looking at has a LA302 loader on it. Are these good little tractors?,Are they a real workhorse like the advertisement states? Fill...

I have been using a 4 foot rotary cutter with my B7500 (no position control). To avoid the occasional lapse when I lower the three point hitch too far and the mower scalps, I decided to order the check chains (mower height adjustment chains from SSB tractor) that have been recommended on this...

Greetings and thanks to all on this site for the great information on tractors! The decision for me was between the BX 1800,2200 or the B7500. Then it was between the B7500 and JD 4110. (I think I have the JD number right) I decided on a B7500 mostly because of the higher ground clearence over...

Just passing along I hit the 250 hour mark on my Bota.

50 hour maintenance is coming up fast. I need help on socket sizes required. Are the following correct: 26mm for transmission strainer, 17mm for front wheel bolts, 22mm for rear wheel cam nut, 22mm or 23mm (???) for rear wheel bolts, 30mm for RCK60-24B mmm blades? Are there any other sizes...

I just joined but have been checking this site out for the last six months. I have decided to purchase a B7500 and was wondering what size rotory cutters, rear blades and other implements of destuction and construction should be used with this tractor. Thanks in advance.

I've seen a MMM for sale. The ad says it fits a B7200. Will that also fit my B7500? Thanks,

Does anyone have a measurement for the ROPS height on the B7500?

Greetings, I've been reading tons of great posts here and thanks to everyone for some great tips. I picked up a used B7500 with a Woods 1006 FEL a couple of months ago and have been doing some great work with it around the building where I work and also cleaning out around the lake where I...

Seems like my B7500 has some new admirers. This cow and her new calves stumbled through my yard tonight and must have been attracted to the orange.

I'm in NE Ohio and I'm getting down to the dealing portion of my buying experience. I was quoted 14,950 for a B 7500 with R4's , FEL (302), and a 60" mid mount. Is this a good price? Also, how important is extra weight when using the FEL? I'm new to using a FEL. Advice is appreciated. Thanks

Hello, I got a price from a dealer near me for $9000 on new B7500 HST tractor with AG tires. Is this a good price? Thanks, Terry43

I have joined the ranks of Tractor Owner. After gathering info for more than 3 years I finally purchased a New Kubota B7500 HST. I thiink I got a good deal $15,400 out the door with FEL a Woods 60" RFM, turf tires and a weight box. I have only posted a couple of times, now I have a good...

Found a B7500HST, approximately 1 1/2 years old. 54"MMM, Turf Tires, LA 272 Loader. 150 Hours. They are asking $12,200.00. All advice appreciated. And please pardon the next dumb question. Are there titles on tractors like on cars? (I'm a newbie, what can I say).

I purchased a add on Hydraulic control for my B7500. The tractor has a 302 FEL. The dealer told me that an instruction manual would be included. The instruction manual consisted of 2 pages of paper, one of which was a parts list and the other referred to other hose kits. No help there. Does...

Hi, I need a price on both of these tractors and they both will have no hydrostat and have AG tires and also will be 4X4's. Thanks, John.

I was brush mowing and noticed that the temp guage was about 1/2 way after about 1 hour in 90F degree. Is this normal? When I bought it last year, I had accidently overheated, being new and not paying attention I immediately shut it off as soon as I noticed. This was about 8 months ago. I...

When I"m in reverse and then lift my foot of the pedal, sometimes the pedal stay depressed in reverse. I think its hanging up on a support bracket for the MMM. Seems worse when the mower is in a high position. Anyone else have this problem? I've learned to quickly hit the brake or forward...

Trying to decide on the right tractor is killing me!! I had a 2001 B7500 when I lived in the country 2 years ago, so I am very familiar with that machine. But the price on a BX22, is so tempting that I can't figure out which one to buy!! I will mostly be doing finish mowing about 1.5-2 acres...

I'm new this to forum, been lurking, but this is my first post. My experience is limited, I currenty own a small JD lawn tractor - So her go's - I have about 7 acress of land (mostly wooded) and one of my future projects would be trying to turn about one area of woods into lawn. This would...

While mowing grass today, I noticed a wet spot on the inside of my left front tire on my B7500. It was UDT fluid, from what I can tell. The inside of the rim, where it meets the hub, was wet and was collecting dust. I checked in the shed and saw a small spot where the left front tire had...

Hi All, Well I've been lurking for quite some time now and I must say this has to be the most informative, curteous, sharing, helpful and kind group of people I've come across online. It seems we all have a common goal of cooperative learning. I'd like to thank you all for all the information...

Just wondering if it's a D782, and if so, does it have a tach? Thanks -Ben

Does $400.00 sound fair for 50 hr, servicing performed by a dealer? This was from a dealer who did not sell the machine. Just wondering what the average cost for this scheduled maintenance has been around this forum. Thks.

The owners manual shows a drain plug in the bottom of the clutch housing, for draining water after operating tractor in the rain or washing. These tractors sit on the dealers lots for weeks sometimes, before being sold. This spring has been very wet, to say the least. Has anyone ever checked...

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...

Just took delivery last week. Ordered the tooth bar from Carver's. Only have 3 hours on her so far, but if it ever stops raining, she will be put to work. Thanks to all at TBN. Your posts and comments lead me to the B7500hsd.

Is there as much changing of transmission/gear fluid on the B7500DT as there is on all the Bx models' hydrostatic transmissions? I didn't know if there is a difference between a manual gear box and a hydro for the scheduled maintenance intervals? Thank you for any information.

Does anyone have any experience with the 54" suspended deck (RCK54-75B) for the B7500? One of the comments about the BX series mowers is their potentially better cut due to the suspended deck. Is this other deck similar?

I'm going to post this on a few boards, so forgive me if you've seen this on another discussion... I bought a TRAC-VAC bagger with a Honda motor on it for my B7500. The motor has a safety feature that will kill the motor if the oil level is low. When I operate down some of my slopes, the motor...

I am in the process of purchasing a Kubota B7500 and would like opinions on the usefulness of a backhoe on this tractor. The primary purpose of the tractor is general loader use and snow removal. My lot size is 2.3 acres, mostly wooded. The B7500 is ideal for maneuvering around the tightly...

BOTH HAVE BACKHOES AND FRONTLOADERS STOCK FROM COMPANY. BOTH ARE AROUND SAME PRICE OF $16,000.THE B7500 KUBOTA HAS 145 HRS ON IT AND IS A 2001 AND LOOKS BRAND NEW. THE 940 JOHN DEERE IS A 1999 AND HAS 365 HOURS ON IT. IT IS IN GOOD SHAPE.THE KUBOTA WAS GARAGED AND THE JD I DONOT THINK WAS. THE...

What is a 2001 B7500 worth? It has a kubota front loader and a kubota backhoe with it also .It has 140 hours on it.It is very very clean. He is asking $17,000,it is worth it? What should I offer?

\"Speed Control\" on B7500 HST Has anyone used the speed/cruise control on the B7500 HST? It seems to lock the speed pedal on only one of two positions, very slow or very fast. Its not the same as cruise control with infinite speed settings. As such I havent found it very useful for mowing...

Well when I took off my MMM I noticed there was an oil on the MMM's gear box. I couldn't figure out how that box would leak on top. Uh oh, it must be coming from the tractor. I crawl under the tractor and see oily stuff all over the bottom of the frame, motor, frame, hoses, etc. I couldn't...

After reading much here and elsewhere I finally decided to attempt removal of my BH from my new B7500 ( 14 hrs). The instructions were somewhat useful and more that a little insufficient. For others who have not attempted it here are a few things to keep in mind. I almost busted my PTO pump when...

48\" or 60\" RFM for B7500HST Would a B7500HST handle a 60" rear finish mower? Is it enough H.P.? With the weight of the mower, would you need to add front weights to the tractor? Thanks in advance, JRF

I'm close to purchasing a new tractor. Current use would be for 100% finish mowing with a FEL & other attachments coming in a few years. I had decided on the B7800HST w/ turf tires (worried about tearing up the grass) after comparing the spec's between the B7500HST & the B7800HST. Just...

I notice in Kubota's B-series literature that a "B2002 Main frame kit" is required for use of a rear blade. Rather odd, thinks I. Does anyone have this kit and can you describe it? Is it necessary for all ground engaging tractors in the B series? Does it reduce ground clearance? Thanks to...

Can't say as I completely understand Full Synchromesh w/Mechanical Shuttle on the 1914..... plan on using a loader a lot. Can someone explain the trany on the 1914.... think I'm a Hydro type of guy since my lawn mowers have been that way. The 1914 seems about the same size as the Kubota b7500...

I realize it would vary by implement, but does anyone know the max weight the B7500HST can lift with the 3-pt hitch? I'm interested specifically in a box blade, so the weight would be pretty close to the tractor.

Over in the Tach installed on BX post, JWE had made up a chart of the Engine RPM vs. the rear and mid PTO speeds for the BX-2200. I reformatted it and also made an abbreviated version, with the idea that it could be laminated and stuck on the dash. He then suggested that he </font><font...

Does anybody have a trick to greasing all the fittings on the mid-mount mower on a B7500 (RCK54-75B 54" MMM)? When the mower is mounted under the tractor, some of the fittings seem impossible to grease without removing the mower from under the tractor. For example, the fittings on the PTO...

Here is a picture of my B7500 delivered yesterday. Specs include: 302 FEL, Bradco 3265 hoe and a 60" Bush Hog Finish Mower. Well I said my B7500 but of the 6 hrs put on it yesterday my wife put two. I think she thinks its hers. I believe I'm a little jealous. (That's my tractor )

Not sure which tractor to get. Currently have a Kubota B6200 16 hp and just replaced our Woods RM59 finish mower with a Bush Hog RDTH60 rear discharge mower. The problem with the new mowing deck is that it weighs much more than the Woods and when mowing on a slope it takes my whole backend...

I've read the previous posts on filled tires, and I *think* I have this right, but if I'm missing something, I'd appreciate it if someone could let me know. I got by B7500 two weeks ago, and the dealer had the tires filled. Yesterday I decided to check the tire pressures. I moved the tractor...

I currently own a kubota b7500 and was thinking of upgrading to a 7800 or a 2910. I want to upgrade because I need more tractor to pull my manure spreader. My 7500 is very stable on the hilly terain that I own. I was wondering if the 7800 0r 2910 would be more prone to rollover. The center...

My friend and I are looking into a backhoe together. We would like to split the cost and share it. He has a B7500 and I have a B2910. I know that the Woods 7500 Backhoe will work great on a B2910 but will it work on a B7500?? The backhoe will have a seperate hydraulic system that is ran of the...

Will tires/rims from a Kubota B2710 & 2910 fit a B7500? This could be a nice deal. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2926444286&category=20924 I'm mildly interested.

I am new to tractorbynet, but I have been reading a lot of your discussions. Very educational to say the least. I have ordered a B7500 with FEL, 60"MMM and a Bradco backhoe. The big question I have is if the Bradco backhoe will be to much for the B7500. I have a little over 3 acres and I am...

Is it possible to add a Hyd top link to my B7500? If so, is it user installed or must it be done by the dealer? How expensive would it be? Thanx! Ken

I just put my new RCK54-75B (54") deck on my B7500 yesterday. Everything went well, and the deck is leveled both font-to-back and side-to-side. When I engaged the mid PTO, though, I notice that the single belt seems to be sloppy and "bounces" enough to rub the deck near the brackets that hold...

I got my new B7500 on Monday and I am as happy with it as everyone else seems to be with their 'Botas. Moved a ton of horse shavings, regraded our gravel drive, and spread sand on my lawn, which was full of holes from moles and the horses getting out. The R4s (filled in back) did no damage at...

I have searched the site for installation of work lights for the B7500 but could not find anything. I hope to install the lights soon but was wondering if the 7500 has a fused wire near the ROPS (like other models) I could use without cutting into the hazard wiring. I have looked for a unused...

I have been lurking and reading the posts here for quite sometime; what a great forum! From the information gathered here, I pretty much decided that the 7800 with the 4690 hoe was the tractor for me. It seems like for the money vs. performance / capability, the 7800 is the best value...

I’m in the market for a tractor and have decided on a Kubota BX22 or a B7500 with a MMM. The primary reason for the tractor is mowing 41/2 acres and homeowner landscaping projects. I am leaning more toward the BX22, however, I would appreciate any input on which tractor to purchase and also...

This CUT is great. The 1st day I got it I pushed over to old stumps and disposed of them. MMM works great also. I am very pleased.

Finally after months of research, I have a new B7500 HST, R-4s, FEL, and RFM. so far I've... -unloaded a truck load of mulch -graded and filled the drive -hauled mulch around to all of my beds -removed an old retaining wall for reconstruction -pushed over and hauled off a 8" dia. stump -mowed 3...

Kubota 7500 & Woods 7500 BH

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've been using the forum for research the last couple of days, and am about ready to buy a B7500. I checked Kubotas out at the local dealer (Sound Tractor in Everett, WA), and the B7500 looks to be the best match for my needs. The FEL that comes with it is the LA272 instead of the LA302. I...

I own a B7500 and just ordered a woods 6500 backhoe. I am going with the frame mount and hooking to the tractor hydraulics. Am I going to be happy with my decision?

I own a Kubota B7500 and just ordered a woods 6500 backhoe. I am going with the frame mount and hooking to the tractors hydraulics. Am I going to be happy with my decision?

Does anyone have a B7500 with a Kubota B4672A BH? How do you like the BH? How hard is it to take on and off? Does it have subframe mounting? Does it interfere with the 60" MMM? Thansk

Thinking about buying a B7500 rather than a BX22. How do you folks like the 60" ground contact MMM on the B7500. Do the rollers leave marks or does it scalp? I know its probably not as good as the BX22 suspended deck MMM, but does it still do a good job? Are you satisfied? How hard is it to...

Here are some photos showing different angles and shots of my tractor. Click on the thumbnail at the bottom to see the photo. Also, there are more thumbnails to the right that you have to curser over to see. Kubota Tractor Photos

Anyone else had trouble with their B7500 front wheel seals leaking? One of mine started leaking last fall. I had it fixed (Thank goodness still under the 3 year pwr train warranty) and two weeks after I got it back the other side is now leaving puddles in my garage. It will also be covered but...

I took the tractor out for about an hour of mowing. Didn't feel or hear any problems. When I went to leave I raised the the deck all the way and something didn't feel right when I moved. The metal tube that the left rear scalp wheel is mounted in is rubbing on the back tire, so then I lowered...

I just purchased a new B7500 and it was delivered last week. Still getting use to it because Im still use to my 1550 and 6200. My first real job for the machine was to put my gravel drive back together from the snowplowing winter we had. Everything was going well but I am having trouble getting...

Hi I am currently down to evaluating a JD4110 and a Kubota B7550. I plan on using the tractor for hauling manure, plowing my driveway in the winter. harrowing 5 acres and pulling a manure spreader. I've looked at both models and they are both nice machines. The price is pretty well the...

Ok I like the looks of the 2200 but have read things on here about the low ground clearance and trouble with hooking up attachments on the 3 point hitch. I like it alot more because it's cheaper than the 7500 but I've been leaning towards the 7500 because I think I will add lots of attachments...

Hi, I'm new to this forum, found it this past weekend during the snow storm. I thought I would ask opinions of experienced tractor owners to help me in my decision. The decision comes down to which of the above 2 Kubota models to purchase. I have less than 1 acre to mow and have pretty...

OK, Peer pressure made me do it. I will brag about my new toy. I too have just taken delivery on a Kubota B7500. LA302 FEL, Rhino 300 (6foot) backblade, Industrial tires. Price was $13,500 delivered. I received it last Friday. Spent about 2 hours in the blowing snow moving dirt to backfill a...

The Kubota website lists the pto system of the 7500DT tractor as "a transmission driven PTO with overrunning clutch to provide easy gear changing". What does this mean? Does the PTO stop turning when you press in the clutch? The overrunning clutch is for when you release the clutch? Thanks,

Thanks to all who answered my questions. Today I found a B7500 with loader (302) turf tires (loaded) grill guard adjustable angle rear scraper blade 5foot bush hog finish mower and rock rake used with 38 hours on the clock. All the implements were bought new with the tractor. For all intensive...

Does anyone have any ideal what kind of numbers i'm looking at for a 4 wd, hst tractor? Steve

B7500 54\" Mid Mount Mower Deck Question I am considering purchase of a B7500 and need some help. Is the 54" deck for the B7500 suspended by the tractor (like the BX decks) or is it supported by the deck wheels when mowing (like the B7500 60" deck)? Thanks.

I got my 7500 this fall and I'm using it now for snow removal. I have a FEL and a 5ft back blade. My driveway is on a hill and I'm struggling with the setting the right level for the rear blade. The FEL has a float position which does the trick up front, but I haven't found a good solution...

I am seriously scratching my head, wondering what to do. For the past few months, I've been planning to purchase a new B7500 (60"MMM, 302 FEL). I have 5 acres, 3 of which need mowing (lots of trees). I'll do some FEL work periodically, but 95% of the hours will be spent mowing. Local dealer...

I have had my B7500 since mid September. I've put about 75 hours on it. Recently I started noticing a creaking/clanking sound coming from my right rear wheel. At first I assumed I needed to torque all of my wheel nuts. I did this and the sound persisted. I use ear protection all the time I...

A B7500, back blade and 2\' of snow. My first experience removing alot of snow with a Kubota. Using a 6' back blade worked better than I expected - alot better. I did move half the snow by pushing with the back of the blade. In 4wd and turf tires, I did spin some so I will be adding chains. The...

B7500 won\'t start! Dang! 27 hours on my new B7500 and it won't start this Thanksgiving day. And the dealership is closed for the entire weekend. What's wrong? It is an HST - so with the clutch depressed I can visually see that a clutch switch is actuated. Then, there's the kill switch, it...

Does anybody have a photo of a tilt meter installed on the B7500? I want to find a good place to mount it that isn't gawdy.

Have a year old b7500 hsd with 302 loader with bucket teeth, 60"mmm, grass catching system, foldable rops, for sale in Northern Va. Asking 14,500, what I owe on it. Has 93 hours. Tractor is in perfect condition, it was my first one and I keep it in the garage and wash and wax it after every use...

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...

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...

Looking for opinions. I have been following the numerous posts regarding pricing of a B7500 w/FEL and R4's. I was personally quoted $15, 130 for a price locally. Looking for suggestions on what I should or could offer. I have looked at all the posts and etc. But I wanted to get some ideas...

I have a b7500 Kubota - 21 hp. I'd like to pull a rear mount 72" grass cutting attachment. I've had a local dealer recommend a 72" flail mower. My question is my tractor big enough to pull a 72" mower? The recommendation from the dealer is to go with a flail mower because it's closer to the back...

As stated in other posts I have 4 acres, 2 field and 1 woods. I want to clear trails, mow and general estate work. In the groups opions does it make financial sense over the long term to buy a tractor new? feedback please. I am looking at a B7500, mmm, FEL

Hi was wondering about prices for these tractors in a 4wd and what Horsepower are they. Probably would prefere HST. I know I could probably find out this on my own, but people who own them and operate are more knowledgeable I think. I have a L3010 and my Dad is starting to get the fever for a...

I think I am going to finally go with the B7500. Could I please have input on the following price quote. B7500 HSD, 60 MMM, 302 FEL 14,500

I just recently purchased a B7500HST with a FEL w/teeth and a BH. This is my first tractor and I really didn't know what to expect as far as performance, especially when I was shopping. I would get conflicting reports from salespeople and friends as far as the capabilities of smaller tractors...

I have R4s on my machine now. Has anyone installed bigger size tires? I have plenty of clearance under the fenders with my tires, compared to a 2910, which has little space. I want more clearance under the tractor,along with a smoother ride from the bigger diameter. I realize I will lose some...

Greetings fellow tractor owners!! I have been following your discussions for some time and have gained significantly from them. Thank you all!!! Now I need your help. I am at the point in my owning and subsequent servicing where I need to change my air filters in my B7500. The owner's manual...

I have 4 acres, mow 2, level property. leaning toward bx2200, FEL, MMM. Will do some clearing but no snow or other serious tractions issues. opinions? Resale value? Best price in Northwest?

I am considering purchasing one of the 2 tractors. Each tractor is configured with a 60" belly mower, Power steering, 4WD, and a 48" rotary cutter. They both have similar gross and PTO HP, wheelbase, and ground clearance. Dealer price quotes from yesterday 9/3/02. JD4110 - $12,870 B7500 -...

Has anyone had experience getting the fuel filter assembly out of the filter bowl on a 2002 Kubota B7500? After I screwed the bowl off the tractor, I had a hard time getting the white "disc" that the filter is attached to out of the bowl. I had to use a dental pick to pull it out, and risked...

Just put a deposit on a new B7500 yesterday and I am really excited about it! I was going to purchase a Massey, but after test-driving the 'Bota and MF back-to-back found there was no comparison. I just found TBN a couple of nights ago and really appreciate all the great info you folks are posting.

I will soon be purchasing my first tractor. I believe I have narrowed it down to a Kubota (but i did find a great deal on a used NH TC33D so that is still in the running), but I have received conflicting opinions from the dealers I have visited and from friends as to what size I need. The...

I finally decided to do it. Yesterday, I traded my B7500 HSD(14 hrs, 60"MMM, FEL) for a new B2910 with FEL, 72" MMM and weight box for a difference of $5800.00 wo tax. I think I got a good deal. How does that sound? Unfortunately, I just bought a new B7500 Workshop Manual and Parts List Book...

Due in large part to this forum, I decided to buy a B7500 with FEL, toothbar and boxblade (delivered late last Thursday), and it's already proving its worth - during my first hour of use, I managed to take out three large clumps of prickly pear cactus in just a few minutes, a chore which would...

What oil filter are do you use besides the Kubota filter? The Kubota cross reference charts say to use the same filter as the BX series. It's a smaller canister. I wanted the same size but the other reference is to size bigger canister. I'm ready to switch to the same thing, every time. I'm...

I'm a new user. I've been reading posts for a few days now, should have started a few months ago. After looking at a BX2200 have decided it does not have the ground clearance that I may require. I am leaning towards the B7500HSD instead. I have a couple acres of heavily wooded land (lodgepole...

Can anybody recommend a rear snowblower for my B7500? I posted a question about the Kubota BL2660 60 inch rear snowblower and go zero responses, so I assume it is not a popular item. Who makes the best, or one of the best, rear snowblowers that work well with a B7500? My concern is that the...

RCK54 mower deck won\'t fit on B7500? I bought a RCK54-75B mower deck for my B7500 tractor. The mower deck's right hand gauge wheel hits the rear tire no matter what hub arrangement or axle pin hole I use. The rear tires are 12.5 x 15" turfs. The local dealer came out and turned the hubs...

Hi I had to lower the quality of the picture, sorry about the posts.

My owners manual rates the B7500 at just under 16kw gross (21hp). Why does the motor tag thats under the muffler, rate this engine at 17.5kw which is about 24 hp? My dealer also said that I can indeed run a 5ft bush rotary mower as long as I keep my 302fel on for counterweight. I have no trouble...

What is a good operating RPM for the B7500? I just got my machine so I'm on a huge learning curve here. I notice if the RPM's are too low it stalls under load. Too high and everything moves too fast for me. What would you suggest? -Terry

All I have a new Kubota B7500hst purchased last fall. It is almost time for my first maintenance on the tractor. I reside in Canada, so I want to be sure I get proper parts. Could anyone provide a list of part numbers, and answer a few questions Engine Oil - Does brand matter? Engine Oil...

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 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...

Is the main difference between the B7500 and the BX2200 the hydraulic pump. It looks like the B7500 can pump more than the BX2200 so it can use larger implements. The B7500 also has a larger frame and tires I got a price on a new BX2200 with FEL, 60" MMM, & BB for $12,800 including tax and...

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 don't remember which of the topics I stated some problems I was having with my tractor on, so I'll update here as I sort of got off topic from the original poster's question anyway. After definitely overheating once and thinking it overheated for a second time after getting it back from the...

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 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...

B7500HST w/ 73 hours - Had a big day today for seat time. Filled in a large low spot, cleaned a drainange ditch and mowed a couple acres. Toward the end while mowing, the steering got heavy and kinda jerky when turning for a minute or two. I stopped and turned the wheel lock to lock a few...

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...

My new B7500 is getting delivered today! it is coming with 60"MMM, LA302 FEL, Two stage snowblower, tire chains, loaded rear tires, rear work light, I can't wait. I think I got a fair deal, $16,600.00 delivered. Any one out there know if that looks good or not?

I am having a hard time deciding on getting a B7500 or BX22. I am planning on using it for mowing my 4 acres of pasture about 80% of the time and using the FEL for knocking down and burying a large block barn for the other 20%. Now that the BX22 is available (includes a BH for about $2000 more...

Can anyone giveme some input? I have narrowed my search down to the B7500 and the BX2200, but am a little unsure which way to go. I have about two flat acres to mow currently, but have intentions of moving to at least four within the next couple of years. Is the B7500 that much harder to...

Yesterday at 50.1 hours on the clock, I did the 50 Hr Maintenance. A week or so ago, I picked up the supplies while at the dealer's to get some extra pins. The dealer had a list in the computer, so he just threw stuff in a box for me. I wasn't paying much attention, but did notice there were...

Anyone know if a 60" box blade will be too much for my B7500DT Kubota? The book reccomends 54", but a 60" is a lot more common. Thanks

Are any of you guys running a rotary tiller with your B7500? What size are you using? I am about to purchase one for my B7500 and am looking for a size and manufacturer recommendation. Thanks.......Jon

I am considering purchasing a B7500 (16 PTO HP) with a subframed Woods 6500 remote PTO backhoe (mainly due to budget, size, and weight constraints), but my concern is that is will be more of a toy than a tool capable of real work. A local dealer let me dig some holes in his back lot, and it...

First I'd like to say thank you very much to all of you TBN folks. I lurked around and have learned alot. Late last night we arrived home with TBN member Boss70's Kubota B7500hst. I bought it from him May 1st and he was so terrific for taking his time and trailering the tractor 30 miles...

I have 3 acres of woods to care for around my house and am strongly considering a B7500 for this task. I need to remove underbrush, etc. Can someone give me a website or book that will give me the retail prices for the tractor and implements? The deal is a B7500HSD with Kub FEL, 4' box blade...

trying to decide what to go with; the Kubota B7500 or the JD 4110 hydro. i would be getting a MMM and loader with which ever one i choose. anybody had experience with either one that could help me make this difficult decision.

Hello folks! I am pricing and would love to buy a B7500HSD with either a 54" MMM or a rear finishing mower. Also would like to get rear tiller so I can work up my vegetable garden. If I can sell my 8N and some of its equipment I'll be able to swing it. My question for users is which mower to...

hi all, I just got a new B7500HSD with RCK60-24B mowerdeck last week, and I have a couple of questions...I'm new to tractors in general, so please bare with me...occasionally, then I press down the forward pedal on this tractor the hydrostatic tranny kinda jerks into motion...I can't notice any...

For you guys with B7500's, how do you like the quality of the cut of the mid mount mower? I have both a BX2200 and a new B7500, but let me tell you the quality of the cut with the BX2200 does not compare to the B7500. The B7500 deck is too heavy and it leaves too many wheel marks and does not...

After spending weeks reading everything I could find on this site I finally broke down and got a B7500, FEL, Bush Hog, Boxblade and tiller. Purchased it in TN about 30 miles away so delivery was free and the price was great. It is my first tractor and have only 8 hours on it but am learning and...

how do I get all my pics to be under the same post/thread?

This a 2001 B7500 with 302 FEL and Woods 6500 BH. just turned 43 hours on it so 50 hour service is coming up soon. I have been using it to clear land behind my house in order to build a garage. a lot of trees to drop and stumps to pop out and bury but this little wonder handles the tasks...

my first attempt so bear with me here..trying to post pics of my B7500. Hope they come thru!!

B7500HST best \"toy\" yet! Hi all I have a new B7500HST, R4's, 302FEL, 60inchmmm, I mowed my lawn, and two others this weekend, It is SO easy to operate. I am 6ft6in, and will raise the seat some, but it's the smartest "toy" I have ever brought home!! After owning many motorcycles, atvs...

I was swayed by the price of the B7500 I bought. It came to $14,300 with the 5ft midmower and 302 loader, hydro, R4 tires loaded. The Deere 4110 was $17,490. The dealer threw in a can of kubota paint, and a carhartt jacket for my son and two hats. I need to see why sometimes I seem to be short...

What should I expect to pay for a new set of R4 tires and rims for my B7500? I would like a set so I can swap between turfs and R4s. The subject has been discussed at length, just looking for cost info here.

Been on the fence over these 2 models and need to get a machine real soon. Dealer quoted the B7500 Hydro with FEL for $12,500, B2410 with loader for $14,400 (both have rebates). I'm looking at a lifetime investment. Is it worth the extra $2K. I can get a lot of attachments for the difference...

Not sure if this is the right section, but here it goes anyway. I'm in the process of building a shed for the kids' toys and Christmas decorations. It will be 12 X 16. I'm dreaming of a B7500 w/ 60" MMM and FEL. If I get my wish/dream and actually get this in a year or so what are the...

After six months of research (much of which was done from TractorByNet) I finally took the plunge. I am now the happy owner of a new B7500 HST w. FEL. which I picked up for 12290 from a dealer about an hour away from my home. I've already put five hrs on it in as many days and I can't believe...

Just wanted to voice an opinion here. I know I am in the minority here but why not the DT. There are several reasons I purchased the B7500DT over the 7500HST, BX2200, and B2410. I grew up on a farm and drove a variety of tractors from a "B" JD to a 9600 Ford. I had previously rented an HST to do...

I posted a little while back, I had determined to sell the Kubota. Well, we are in our new house, and our property is under contract so I don't need the B7500 anymore. I hope you guys don't mind the post, since the classifieds are not up yet. B7500 HSD, bought in April 2001 35 hours, 4X4...

Like a good Kubota owner, I took a look at the B7500 owner's manual while waiting for my tractor to get setup and delivered. In the PTO operation section, the manual states that after the mid-rear PTO combination is used (e.g. after using a MMM), the restricting plate should be moved back (I...

Please Help. Here's my dilema. "Bear" with me because I am very new to the tractor world but desparately seeking advice! I would like to buy the B7500HSD 4x4 w60"/MMM & FEL. I thought my local dealer would have a couple of these on his lot. He said he has one and showed it to me. I asked him...

I ordered the new Kubota rear ballast box when I ordered my B7500. Now I am wondering if a rear blade (not a box blade, don't need one) would work well for ballast when using the front loader. Plus, I could reverse the back blade and clear out some small brush near my house. Additionally, I...

I noticed by looking at the brochure that the b2410 has a piece of sheet metal that spans the right and left rear fenders between the ROPS. Attached to it is a hook to hold the top link. After looking at my 7500 it looks like it was designed to have this same piece but mine does not. I was...

THE KUBOTA MANUAL SPECIFIES A 60" REAR FINISH MOWER. DOES ANYONE HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH A 72" ON THIS TRACOTR? WILL IT WORK? OPINIONS? THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT.

Pros 4WD - Gives the pulling power and traction of a larger tractor in a compact size. Power Steering - makes long hours behind the wheel comfortable. Tractor Feel - not the feel of a big tractor but not the feel of a garden tractor…just right. R-4’s - give good traction in the sand but...

Has anybody ordered and installed the Kubota rear light kit for the B7500. It is a single light I believe. I ordered one with my new B7500, but I am wondering if it is a nice installation (brackets, etc, directions for wiring, etc.), or if it will just be an expensive form of a Fleet Farm...

Well, after factoring in as much input from everybody, I FINALLY pulled the pin and ordered a B7500 today. It took me a while, but in the end, all the input by TBN members helped make this a comfortable decision. Here's what's coming-- B7500 HST 4x4, folding ROPS, 54" MMM, 302 FEL, engine...

I’m considering buying a new BX2200. I’ve got about 10 acres of property some lawn, mostly wooded, with a 400’ gravel driveway. Looking to do general landscaping, moving stones/logs, some contouring, swales, driveway maintenance, trenches, and mowing. Dealer thinks I’d be happier with the B7500...

I'm going to buy a John Deere 4010 with HST and FEL or a Kubota B7500 with HST and FEL. I know they are both good quality machines and both dealers are in my home town. I would like to know the pro's and con's of each tractor and the preferences of the readers. The John Deere is about $300...

I have often wondered about the demographics of TBN’s B7500 ownership, so I did some research. This is not exhaustive, but it is representative. Of the approximately 42 registered B7500 owners sampled... Average Lot Size of those reporting = 7.92 Acres Of those reporting attachments: 64%...

If the BX1800 has 18hp, the 2200 has 22hp, the 2410 has 24 hp, the 2710 has 27hp, the 2910 has 29 (okay 30hp) where is the rationale for naming it a B7500. I know, this is really picky...but I'm curious. Any thoughts?

Well, winter is going out like a lion here in SW Wisconsin. The B7500 and I just finished plowing out the 725 foot gravel drive of 6-8 inches of snow. Of course the B7500 with a 6 foot rear blade handles this task with ease. We have justed listed our country property for sale, and will be...

I am thinking of buying a new B7500. Do you think it will handle a 5' brush hog? My field is tall grass (if I do not mow often enough). I would also have a FEL, a 3pt. Kelly hoe and a 60"MMM or 3pt. finish mower to mow around the house (avout 2 acres. The other jobs it would see are...

First Let me say that I have enjoyed reading all the posts here. What a wealth of info. I bought the "book" for two reasons, 1. for the info inside, & 2 to support TBN. I am looking for a new tractor (Assuming I can get my fiancee to agree). She is sold on the Utility, but keeps reminding me...

Talked to a JD dealer today and I asked him to give me a reason (s) why i should spend the extra money on a 4100 vs B7500HSt Here are the things he mentioned . The left and right rear brake control are on the left and are usable. compared to the kubotas. JD has direct fuel injection and the...

Here is my need: I have 6 acres to mow. Some is front yard, some is pasture. Part of is it a bit hilly. I want to mow it all regularly with a Mid-Mower. 90% of what the tractor will be used for is mowing. I have a gravel drive to maintain and smooth occaisionally. I want to use a front...

I noticed on some John Deere models they have a kit to relocate the exhaust. I was just wondering if they had something like that for the Kubotas. My exhaust exits towards the front. How come the compact tractors have gotten away from that . I,ll have to look and see if there is any way to...

I just recently purchaced a new B7500 w/FEL, and will purchase a 60"MMM this spring. I traded in a B7100 which I purchased New in 1995, had 330hrs. Great machine but lack in power,and no power steering. Plus the ROP on the 7100 was a pain when mowing around the property under trees etc. My...

I Just got my new B7500! I can't wait for an excuse to use it! Was very happy dealing with Carver.

I am looking to buy a new B7500 and cannot obtain any information from the brochures describing how the snowblowers attach to the tractor. I am wondering if the B7500 snowblower attaches as easy as the blower on the BX2200 using the quick hitch system. I did see a B2660 snowblower (the same...

Hi guys, I am about to swap my new ZD21 for a new B7500 and wonder what you guys know about these foldable ROPS. I wanted a tractor with a standard ROPS, however, the dealer only has a foldable ROPS available. Do you guys see any advantages between a foldable and standard ROPS? The height...

Like many of you, I have struggled with the BX2200 vs. B7500 buying decision. After reading many of the posts and looking at this thing every which way, an analysis of the specifications from the Kubota catalog proved helpful. This is what I’ve found. · The BX2200 is approximately 18% less...

Okay I ain't the smartest person in the world, just one of the better looking ones. The Kubota manual ain't exactly a thing of vast explanations or details. Okay cut to the chase. Tranny filter, rear axle filter, hydro filter... help me. On each side of the B7500 there's a filter mounted on the...

Is $13900 a good price fora b7500 hydro with loader? I live in NH and would appreciate any info on other deals on same combo. thanks!

hi all, love the site. i've learned a lot from you guys over the last few weeks but still need some more info. i'll be buying my first (and hopefully last) tractor in the next month or so and want to be sure to size it correctly. i think the B7500 will do all i need but would like to hear your...

Hello All, I just ordered my new machine. I'm very excited about it. B7500 Hydro with 60"MMM, FEL & R4's. I ordered from Carver. I felt they gave me a good price based on what the two local dealers gave me. They seem like a good bunch of guys. Wanted to say thank you to all of you out...

Does anybody have experience with a B7500 with a rear snow blower? The rear PTO on the B7500 is 16 HP. I am looking at a Farm-King/Allied 60" rear blower--but it recommends 20HP on the PTO. My dealer is telling me that it works fine because the B7500 is hydrostatic drive, plus he states that...

B7500 & R4\'s I am looking to purchase a new B7500 and am wondering what experience you guy's have had with the R4 tires with lawn mowing? Do the R4 tires damage the lawn? My dealer is telling me that R4's tear the lawn! You guys know best!!! Thanks....Jon S.

Does anybody have experience with the B7500 using the BL2660 rear 60" snow blower. I am thinking of buying a B7500 and need to move Minnesota snow on my 4.2 acres. Also, I've seen a few negative comments on the deck-driven bagger for the B7500. I am currently looking at the B7500 with BL2660...

Just got back from the local dealer. Me and a buddy test drove the BX2200 and the B7500. I was hoping that it would help me make my choice an easier one but guess what...It didn't I can really see the benifits of each. The BX was plenty powerful for all chores that I could come up with around...

What do you guys think about using a 12' single axle landscape trailer to occasionally move my B7500 w/loader? I really don't want or need a large equipment trailer. I would like to get a 12' trailer to use for atv's , brush , lumber , etc. My local dealer has 12' landscape trailers with 3000...

I'm in the research phase of my first 'Real' tractor purchase. I've been reading many of the posts on TBN and they have been of great value. But I'd like to throw out a question to any and all who may have been or are currently in my shoes. I have 2ac of mostly level lawn, two 110ft...

I have decided to buy a Kubota! Now which one? Is the 2410 worth 1500 more dollars. You get the position control, 4/2 more HP, and 110 lbs. more weight. Decisions decisions...

It\'s Here! (B7500HSD) I just received my new B7500HSD with a Woods RD6000 finishing mower and Industrial Tires yesterday! I traded in my old B7100 for it and I think I am in love! I got to play on it for about an hour yesterday, what a dream! -Alden

We finally took posession of our new B7500HSD, LA302 FEL, 60"mmm and grass catcher. I have already spent 3 hours mowing the lawn and even got to move a bit of dirt around. I must say that in my situation with all of the slopes and obstacles I can't imaging getting the manual shift model or a...

I would like to install a tilt meter on my new b7500. CAn you guys please offer some opinions as to which model/brand and mounting location? thanks....

Okay boys and girls, what's your recommendation for tiller for my 'Bota? I was nearly ready to buy a box blade but most the things I want it for can be done with my FEL and borrowing my brothers rear blade. Then if I had that tiller it could do several of the smoothing chores. I'm about sure...

I am buying a tractor. I have 3 uneven acres that I wish to clear/maintain. The dealer was saying I could use a BX2200. I personally think it is too small. I could go for the B7500 w/ FEL, and R4 tires. I was also wondering what about a 30 HP tractor weighing 3200 pounds and costing roughly...

I plan on getting a 72 inch backblade for a B7500 for snow removal when the snowfalls are minimal. The thinking is that I would want the angled blade to be wider than the tractor tires. I would use the backblade for other purposes. Does this sound like a good way to go?

I am planning on running with a 54" rear mounted snowblower on a B7500. Anyone out there have any experience with this?

I have a B7500 and although the manual mentions a tiller size of 49", would like to know if anybody has used a 60" tiller and how well it worked. Thanks for the info..

Quick stupid question from someone who has read the owners manual no less that five times but has yet to take posession of my new tractor (mailed the check and finance papers today). When starting the B7500HSD is it necessary to have the gear range lever in neutral or does the clutch make this...

I wanted to change the inner air filter on my b7500 on Saturday; first time it's been changed (113 hours). I could see from the new filter that it appeared that you just pull the old filter out and stick the new one in (versus screwing it in or something). The old one would not come out; it...

Here I go again wondering if I made the right tire choice or not. I have purchased the B7500 HSD with La301 Fel, 60" mmm and grass catcher. The dealer gave me the choice of whichever tire I wanted and I chose the R4. I figured that not enough tire with the loader might be more of a problem...

I am curious to what a set of rear turfs and rims would cost for a B7500. Bluegrass, Pick It Up!

Can anyone help me with a trailering issue. Apparently I will need to pick up my tractor at a freight dock. I will need to trailer my B7500, FEL, 60" deck and grass catcher to my home. I'm looking into Uhauls 12' x 6' open trailer. Has anyone used this trailer to haul their machines. The...

Grab those tape measures boys! I have pretty much narrowed down my tractor search to the B7500HST with R-4 industrial tires. Can any of you guys who own this combination please measure the height from ground to top of ROPS. I would be interested in seeing the measurements of units with...

I am in the process of purchasing a B7500 HSD from Carver in NC. This only after another deal fell through due to problems getting any other tire than what was on the tractor already. My question involves the fenders of the B7500. The first tractor I dealt on had entirely metal rear fenders...
