kubota b7500

Next time I'll add a pic of my dog, too. :)

Hi Anyone know what the length of a B7500HSD & LA302 Fel would be? I need to figure this out before I have a trailor made to haul the B7500HSD and Fel. Guess I should most likely add some length for a rototiller or backhoe also. Spud

Hi I am considering purchasing a B7500HSD 21 HP tractor with FEL, MMM, Roto-tiller, and backhoe. Could you provide me with some idea of the prices you have paid in your province in Canada for these same attachments? I would like to have individual prices for each attachment. I assume a Canadian...

I am working with a dealer and have a quote of 13,400 for the B7500HSD with R4 tires, folding ROPS, and the 302 FEL. I think it is a bit high. Anybody else buy this tractor for less.

Got a price of $16,000 from a dealer in New Hampshire for the following package. I'm new to Kubota, is this a good price? B7500 hsd 5 foot rear blade 60' belly deck 302 FEL Kubota grass catching system

In several threads, I have seen reference to running at low speed rather than high speed. My dealer mentioned this also. This seems counter-intuitive to me as a newbie....I'd love to run faster to get the mowing done sooner....assuming that the lawn is not heavily overgrown. Please share with...

I went through about 2 1/2 gallons of deisel mowing 4 or 5 acres of foot-long grass yesterday with MMM. I was fighting heat problems (see my other post), but I was wondering if this seems to be a pretty typical rate of consumption. <P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1>Edited by DaRube on 09/16/01...

My new B7500HSD was delivered Friday PM, and yesterday I went out to mow. After about 2 hours of vigorous mowing, the tractor overheated. This first one was my fault....there was lots of dust that had clogged the radiator screen. After letting it cool down, cleaning it off, and replenishing...

I have 7.68 acres. It is pretty much flat other than the road ditch and ditch that runs through the property. I hope to eventually get to the point where I'm finish mowing everything. Right now I'm waiting on the excavators to come and finish cleaning and leveling the "other" side and...

Only a couple of weeks ago (maybe three) I told about my 50 hour service. Since them I've cut grass a couple of times and I've bush hogged a lot where the weeds, saplings and vines towers above my tractor and there are old stumps that I let my FEL find (some I remove, some I can't remove), and...

Well all just got my B7500 in saturday 9/2 , My poor old John Deere will be sorely missed but this kubota has a whole lot more as far as hydraulics goes than my old B. To use the 3pt the clutch had to be engaged but on the bota it doesnt matter. My wife had hit me with the cast iron skillet to...

Where's everybody mounting thier Tiltmeters? Mine came in today. Very nice and a lot bigger than expected and very pleased with the size! Bluegrass, Pick It Up!

Looking for my first tractor. I have 10 acres here in MN. 3/4 AC is lawn the rest is solid woods. 220' paved driveway. Seriously considering the BX2200 with FEL, 60" or 54" MMM and a rear blade. But after spending sometime on this site (great info) I starting to wonder if a B7500HST might be...

It's a done deal. I did it myself and didn't take long at all. I didn't change the hydro fluid per dealer recommendation but I did change the fuel filter per their suggestion. They suggested changing the hydro filter but were out of stock until next week. My one head scrather was the amount...

I have had APRIL since 4/01 and have about 41 hours on her now. Just got a new digital Kodak today and wanted try and attach a photo.

I just pruchased all the flters and fluids for my 50 hr service. The filters the dealer sold me do not look like the filters on the tractor. 1 oil and 2 hydraulic, The part #s are 70000-15241 oil?,67955-37710 and 66021-36060 I have checked several sites and these seem to be the correct filters...

I am looking at a new B7500, with a FEL. How does everyone feel about this tractor? What are the limits of the P.T.O.? What is the largest bush hog I could run on it and not have a power problem. Is there a better choice for the same money (or close)? I am getting to the upper limits of my...

A week late in arrival our new B7500 was welcomed with balloons and cake! (see attached) I then quickly put her to work. Moving load after load of topsoil down to the beach to plant grass. The R4's many of you suggested to me on TBN have worked well in the sand stone mix on the beach and yet...

I am interested in purchasing B7500 with a backhoe for light duty such as trechning and digging holes to a deph of about 40 inches in rocky CT soil. Several dealers told me that the 7500 was not suitable for backhoe use and if a subframe was installed for a Woods B.H., there would be little...

I am considering buying a 4 foot Woods brush hog for my B7500. Am getting conflicting reports on the shear pin type verses the clutch type. Would appreciate some input. Jethro

I'm talking to a dealer about a b7500. He's given me a price of 10,400 for the tractor and 2700 for a loader. Is this a fair price?

Need to change the hyrdaulic fluid on my B7500HSD for the first time - 66 hours. I can't tell very well from the manual exactly where the drain plugs are. It appears that there are two - one right on the side of the mid-PTO and one to the bottom left of the filter. There are a few bolts...

I am working in the Philippines with a translation/linguistic organization. I need to purchase a new tractor/mower for the center, which covers about 10 hectors. The tractor needs to have front bucket capability also. I am looking at a B7400 or B7500 series. Because of our location I can not...

Just a quick question. Anyone out there have experience with a B7500 and a 5 foot bush hog? Plan to cut mostly underbrush in a wooded area. Does this tractor have enough juice to handle this with the 5 foot 'hog? Thanks. Masch

Well, I have put 7 hours on my new b7500 hst this weekend and like it very much. My 352 FEL works great with the float position a plus. I am wondering if the noise levels that I am experiencing are normal. They seem quite noticable when going up hill or on the level with a load. I've been...

Anyone have any suggestions for getting the MMM (60") off a B7500 easily. I also have the 302 loader and the only way I could get the MMM off was to jack up the front of the tracker. It was the first time I took it off and with a helper it took 20 minutes. Is there an easier way. Thanks.

My dealer warned me: Keep that radiator grill clean. 2nd hour mowing and 25 hours on the engine I glance at my guages and the needle is in the RED! The engine was dropping antifreeze from the over flow tube (like it's supposed to in such cases). Parts of what I mow is not totally grass covered...

Are there any happy B7500 Manual transmission owners out there. I have finally made up my mind to buy a B7500 I have owned manual trans cars/trucks my whole life and will continue to buy them. I want to spend the least amount possible on this tractor. I am going to get a 3PT finish mower to save...

Well, it finally came. It is now 8:30 P.M. I have owned my new Kubota for 2 hours. Already I have a question for my fellow Kubotians. When I start to drive in high range in foward or reverse I notice that the tractor will slowly start to move and then suddenly will slightly jolt to a faster...

I am looking to buy a B7500 and I have a price of $12,000 which includes a 60" mid mount mower, HST, and 4WD. Is this any good for the Houston area? Thanks in advance.

My neighbour saw and then used my BX2200 the other day. He was extremely impressed as he currently owns a JD 322. Today he shows up telling me he went to the dealer and looked at the B7500 and wants to know why I didn't buy the larger tractor and should he? All I could tell him was for my...

I am trying to figure out how to add a single set of rear hydraulic ports to my B7500. I have been doing a lot of reading in these forums and I think I've got it figured out but I am hoping someone out there can reassure my thinking. The mechanicals are easy, I plan to mount a single SCV on...

B7500 \"Narrow\" Saw this at dealer yesterday. I had never heard of it. Looks very strange. Like it would tip over very easily. Must be a pretty narrow market for this kind of machine.

Couldn't get the oil filter off my B7500 when I did my first 50 hour oil change this weekend, so I just changed the oil and left the old filter on. Are there any tricks to loosening up the filter? There's not too much room to grab the filter with the filter wrench, as there's "stuff" all...

I have located a B2410HST 4x4 with LA352 bucket. This is the model that has the tight turn feature. It has 60 hours and the dealer wants $14,500. I can also get a B7500 elsewhere for $12,500 but I would have to go farther to get it. Is the B2410 worth that much more? What should I offer on...

Kickin' around the idea of adding a hydraulic top link to my B7500. Seems like it would be a worthwhile addition for box blade work, bushhogging, etc. My question is how difficult would this be to set up? I currently have a FEL. Could I use the FEL controls to run the HTL? Most importantly...

6/20/01 Just ordered my B7500 HSD with loader and woods brush hog. Hope to get delievery in few days. Live in Vermont and am considering a front blade for snow plowing. Would like some input on changing from loader to front blade.

6/20/01 Just ordered my B7500 HSD with loader and woods brush hog. Hope to get delievery in few days. Live in Vermont and am considering a front blade for snow plowing. Would like some input on how hard is it to change from loader to front blade.

I have only 20 hours on my B7500 and found front left wheel seal leak today. Has any other owners had this problem? Will call the local dealer tomorrow and ask this question.

It arrived Saturday morning, my brand new B7500 and 48" Bush Hog. I managed to put 7 hours on it despite attending my niece's birthday party Saturday afternoon and a family get-together on Sunday for Father's Day. I doubt that I need to go into any details in order to describe how I feel right...

Ordered the tractor and loader! Whew! About time. I feel that I know more than some of the dealers I talked to. Bounced between a few dealers and made the decision when one dealer stumbled with an answer. Must say all were very helpfull. (wish the car dealers would learn). Going with the...

I finally narrowed things down and I'm going to put a deposite on a B7500 tomorrow (tues). Getting the loader but may be holding off on the back hoe. I can save about 1K if I make a trip to Main. But that really isn't the biggest issue. I've decided to go with a Woods subframe mount, but...

Looking at the B7500. 2000.00$ difference between the HSD and DT model. I don't think I really need the HSD. I'm a little confused about the mid PTO. The dealer told me that there is no mid hook up to the PTO on the DT model, yet when I look at the brochures, a MMM is offered under the HST/DT...

Is there anyway I can get an after market/dealer installed cruise control for either one of these models or can I just jamm a stick betwen the seat and the pedal like they do in the movies when they send some dead/ tied up guy off a cliff? I have narrowed my choice down to these two. I still...

I'm looking to buy a compact tractor to mow my 6 acres and other odds and ends around the house. Looking at the New HOlland TC21D and Kubota B7500, both look like nice tractors but not sure if there is a big difference between the two. The Kubota is approximately $1500 cheaper and dealership...

I'm about to buy a B7500 with 60" belly mower and I want the 302 loader. A couple of dealers said no problem and one said that you can't put a 302 on the B7500 with the belly mower and that you have to use a 272 FEL. Does anyone know the real "scoop". Thanks. newtrac

Was using my B7500HST, 36 hours, yesterday. Moved some large rocks around for about 20 minutes, filled up the diesel tank to full (was at 1/4), ran it for about ten minutes moving gravel with the FEL. Was digging into a pile of gravel when it started to stall out. I assumed it was because the...

Here are a couple of B7500 pics... The unit has only 5 hours on the clock. In the background is the cliff/ledge my 24x54 garage sits on. I wish it was wider, but I have no room to spare.

My new tractor is on its way!!! Can't wait. Just wanted to post a global thank you note to all who helped me outfit my new B7500 by answering all of my questions here. There is a wealth of information in these forums and I hope we can keep this as a catch-all source of good data and opinions...

I'm getting settled in on the attachments for my soon to be purchased B7500 HST 4WD. I'm getting the LA302 loader with R4 tires (thanks to information gleaned from this website). My next question is about box scrapers. I would like to get one for finish type work in preparation for new lawn...

My new B7500HSD was delivered on Tuesday night. I am off on Wed. so yesterday was play day. The machine is the perfect size for our property conditons, we have 63 acres, but a lot of tight places a larger machine would not handle. I used my back blade to level, grade and backfill along the...

B7500 HSD, R4 industrial tires, filled with CaCl, block heater, 3 front Kubota weights....$10,100. Implements to be purchased as needed, fom various sources... box blade, rotary cutter, landscape rake, and tilting rear blade. I did not add the loader at this time since I have a skidsteer...

I am zeroing in on a purchase of a new B7500 to be used for landscaping, grading, clearing undergrowth from a woods, and light excavation work (first project is a retaining wall) around my 2 acre homestead. As the landscaping and clearing work takes shape, I may also use it for mowing, but...

Okay, this has seemed like a soap opera, and I have changed my mind more times than I care to admit, but I am definately getting a new B7500 on Wed. of next week. I called the NH dealer to come back and get the TC21d. Both machines are great, in the end, I guess it comes down to the large...

I want to put a blade and a mid mount mower on my 7500hst. Has anyone done it? I had it several years ago on my old Kubota (which i sold) but the blade was done by a Deere dealer. I want to do it with Kubota equipment. Does anyone have any ideas or experience with this? thanks. Allen

Owners of these tractors, and owners of B2400/2100...etc., please share your experience with non-position control tractors. I am having trouble "pulling the trigger" on a Kubota without position control. Is that feature worth the extra money?? Can I still fine grade driveways and dirt? Is...

I have a B7500 with an FEL that I really only started using a week or so ago to move a pile of dirt (purchased this in January; have about 15 hours on it). When using the FEL, I notice a steady drip of hydraulic fluid coming from the control box that the lever is attached to and that the four...

Well, I’ve narrowed my choice down to orange, the BX2200 or the B7500. Now I know there has been volumes of discussion on this topic in the posts on this board, and I’ve also read Muhammad’s book, but I still can’t decide which one is best for my situation. I own about 12 acres, with 1.5 to 2...

After a long research period, and finally unloading all of my other machines, I have decided to go with the B7500. I am leaving on vacation tomorrow, and when I get back I am going to sign the papers at the local dealer. I am glad I will be able to buy local, since he has been calling me about...

Hi Again, Seems like a new thread is in order. As promised, I'm reporting back about my impressions of the 2410 and 2710. In the midst of yet another snow storm I visited a third Kubota dealer. In addition to just learning something about this area's dealers I now have 3 price quotes on the...

I have a ? I need to get a trailer for my B7500 so I can move wood around my property. But I don't know how big of a trailer my tractor will pull or how many #? I don't want to get something to big and run it in the ground. I have 5 acre and when I need wood it just take too many...

Hey Gang, Jeez, it's not getting any easier. Maybe I need to do some deep breathing exercises for a couple of days! In addition to thinking the quotes I got for both the BX and the 7500 are too high, now I'm wondering if I'd regret getting a tractor w/o position control... which means...

Hi All, First time post and I've been learning from this site for about 2 weeks now. I'm very interested in both of these tractors but still don't know which one will suit my needs and desires most. Still need to examine and price a JD 4100 before making a final decision. I thought some...

I want to buy a Tractor to do the following: Mow Lawn, Blow Snow and Till Garden. The majority of the time will be spent mowing lawn. I have just started studying tractors and I keep coming back to the Kubota (over Deere). I have had 2 dealers here in Utah tell me don't buy the BX2200 buy the...

Took delivery of my B7500 a few weeks ago. Used the front snowblower for the first time last night; had used a B2400 with a rear blower for about a month to that as a loaner from the dealer while I was waiting for my B7500. I have a gravel driveway. I try to be very very careful about the...

Ok I think that I am real close to getting my new tractor finally. BUT I still can't make up my mind on these 2. They both have hydr. and loaders. But the jd has 40 hrs. on it. It still has full warranty on it. But there is something about having a brand new one. I really like both of these...

do any of you newer b7500 owners have the front turf tires and the rear bar turfy ag tires? i was wondering how that setup works. i have a hilly lot to mow and move mulch and also plow out small snow storms. im thinking that the front turfs wont dig in when turning in the lawn and the rear...

Got the new 'bota on Friday & managed to get 2.3 hours on the tach, even with the crappy weather we're having here. It dried out enough this afternoon for me to go over next door and have these photos taken with the neighbors digital camera. First one is me with the large grin. Second was the...

hey everybody, been readin the messages for last few weeks. now i got my first official question. gonna buy a new b7500 and was wonderin what different tires are available. the dealer said the front turfs are the only choice and turf or bar turf for the rear. personally i like the r4 tire the...

Thinking about buying a Kubota B7500. Mostly residential use for about 6 acres. Any comments about this tractor? Is it large enough to do some meaningful digging with the loader? Any options that I really should pursue? What is a good price?

I have two acres with slopes of 15 to 25 degrees. I am going to look at a B7500 and NH Boomer with 60 inch rear mower. Do the manufacturers publish a figure for maximum angle of operation?

Took my first trip to a couple of dealers yesterday - one Kubota and one NH. With help from these forums I've narrowed my list down to the Kubota B7500 and NH TC21D (with the JD 4100 and Kubota B2410 as outside shots). I live in CT, but both dealers I went to are in MA. For the B7500HSD with...

I am considering the purchase of a Kubota B7500 HSD with Loader & Backhoe and would really appreciate the insight and opinion from those on this message board (where I've already found a wealth of information - thanks). The tasks I have to perform are: Digging around the perimeter of our house...

How tough is it to install a block heater for a b7500? Is it just a bolt on or do hoses have to be cut?

I purchased the B7500 about 6 weeks ago. I am a 1st time tractor owner and did much of my research from this site. I'm by no means an expert, but hopefully this information will add to your own research. I purchased the B7500DT 4WD with the 272 Loader. I chose the gear drive because I like the...

I have 5 Acres I finish mow and do a little light blade work Just sold my old 8N and am looking at a B7500 I have two dealers nearby and both priced within $100 and best price was $8750 is that a good deal???

best price I've gotten for the 7500hsd w/ loader, mid-mount mower, and backhoe is around 20500.00. Has anyone seen anything different or is this in the ball park.... thanks

I'm in the market for a 7500 w/ loader (la302), mid mount mower and a backhoe.. I have been at several dealers and some only sell wools backhoes, while others sell kabota... Anyone have any experience with this? Also the ? comes up about putting a sub-frame addition under the tractor with the...

I have been reading this forum for a few weeks and have read all of the printed Kubota tractor info I could find. I have decided the B7500 is the tractor I need and soon will be buying one with a loader, bushhog and finish mower. What I need advice on is how difficult and how much time does it...

Seems like everyone is pushing the BX2200 and then straight to the B2410 and larger. Is there something I should know about the 7500? I'm within days of buying one and can't understand the lack of positive discussion. As far as my own shopping has gone it seems to be the most tractor one can get...

My local dealer (central mass) just told me he will not be receiving any b7500 until late Aug/early Sept. Is this a common problem all dealers are having ?? Are there any dealers out there with b7500's in stock ?? What costs are people being quoted for tractor and loader, 12,500 - 13,000 ...

I'm a first time tractor shopper. I have 5 acres that I want to clear and put in some trees and fencing. I have about 3 acres of heavy thorny 5'-10' brush to clear growing in clay soil. Much of the brush is 1"=2" in dianeter. I've been looking at the B7500 and JD790. The JD790 seems like...

Is the B7500 at 21hp adequate for a 4 foot bushhog brush mower? Also, what have other users experienced regarding the lift on B7300, B7500, and B7100 which do not have position control? Does the lift hold its position or does it tend to leak/drop over time and need periodic adjusting? Any...

I was quoted 10,500 for just the tractor. Is this a good price or can I do better?

Hopefully my last (pre-purchase!) questions. Still trying to make up my mind on the B7500 v. B2710. Leaning heavy towards the B7500 for price ($4600 less). A couple remaining questions: Interested in widest and heaviest blade someone has successfully used on the B7500. Dealer...

I am looking for comments from anyone who has recently purchased either a B7500 or B2410. How it was equiped, what accessories bought, and how it has performed? I am trying to decide if the B2410 is worth the price difference of $2,000.
