kubota b7800

[SIZE="5" I have a b7800 with aprox 400 hours and for most part completely satisfied. It is HST. I have noticed that it seems that the hydralic pump seems to be making excessive whine. It this normal. How loud should it be. Is it something that I could adjust? Even though it does great there...

Does anyone know if there is a draft control kit available for the B7800?:)

First tractor owner. Cant find a purpose for left and right brakes.Seems aquard to keep foot on forward pedal and hit one side of brakes.Need advice. Thanks. Framer

A friend has a B7800 Hydro and she has to move the forward and backward pedals until the tractor will crank over. Is there an adjustment to make? any suggestions will help. Thanks

My B7800 shuts down when i get off the Tractor. I can stand up and not be on the seat and it will run but when i get off it shuts down and wont start unless i play with the hydrostatic pedal. When i move it back and forth i will hear something click and then it will start. Does anyone know...

TOOL BOX AND WEIGHT BOX for B7800

1. Breaking too many shear pins on front end blower 2. Doesn't always start in cold weather 3. Thorns puncture tires 4. Fuel gauge, lights don't work 5. Tried replacing front lights but "gasket" disintegrated 6. Lots of plastic B78000 235 hours

All, Was working with my B7800 when it suddenly shuts off. Checked fuel, replaced fuel filter, bleed system, nothing comming out at injector supply tubes. Fuel is getting pumped everwhere but to the injectors (overflow lines). My thought is fuel stop solenoid. Fuse is ok, will check seat...

While removing snow with the B7800 tractor I noticed a little fluid trail coming from the tractor. I pulled the tractor in the garage and noticed that the bolts from the Front Assembly Holder were out and it was hanging there. Luckily I found the bolts that were holding it up in the driveway...

When I mow I always see weeds I can't find later. So I picked up one of these 3 pt hitch things at an auction for $35 and made a small 15 gallon dedicated sprayer for my B7800. The platform is only maybe 2' X 3' and I and leave it hooked up most of the summer. I used a piece of OSB for the...

Am about to do my first oil change (that is, the first one I've done personally...) and the manual says "remove the drain plug at the bottom of the engine...." There's an illustration that shows drain plugS on "both sides." So I'm assuming I must remove BOTH plugs to thoroughly drain. Is...

Someone please tell me if forks for a B2150 would fit a B7800. The B7800 doesn't have quick connect bucket. Thanks.

Am considering installing a block heater in my B7800, from what I can tell the install looks straightforward--any tricks to things to be aware of before I start? Thanks in advance. Pat

My B7800 won't start because the kill switch is not depressed enough when the HST pedal is in the neutral position. (140 hours) The service manager at my dealer says it's not under warranty because it's an 'adjustment.' Don't have a trailer so they can come to my house @ $85/hour. (So you...

Considering a purchase of one or the other. Both have HST, pretty much the same specs as I can tell. The B7800 is a little cheaper than the L3400, and uses a spur gear drive rather than a bull gear. Any comments from others as to advantages of one over the other??

Newbie here, I have searched the forum and sought the advice of others trying to learn before posting redundant questions. Now I humbly ask you, the authorities on Kubota related matters, to help me with the answers to the following questions? I have my eye on the last b7800 on the lot, with...

I am looking at either buying the 99 1925 with loader and aftermarket cab and turf tires for $16.500 or the 06 Kubota B7800 TLB with turfs for $24,000 They are both 4wd and the same dealer is selling both tractors . I am wondering which tractor would be better to get . If I got the 1925 I...

I was cutting with my brush hog this summer when I hit a groundhog hole. It stopped the tractor dead. It must have screwed up a safety switch, because even after I disengaged the pto, I still couldn't get it to start. I jumped it to bypass all saftey switches. The problem that I have now is...

I might be putting my B7800 up for sale. Just over 3 years old (paid off :)). Has loader, backhoe, chains, rear blade, canopy and forks that can be switched for the bucket (not quick release, takes about 15 minutes). Is just ready to turn 500 hours. Has one dent in hood. My thought was...

I finally broke my first turnbuckle on my B7800. Inspecting the other side I see that it is also stretched and not long before they too break. I have read where others have converted the weak turnbuckle style stabilizer setup on the B7800 to the Bar and Pin style on the 2910. I found that...

Hello... I am rather inexperienced when it comes to repairs to my tractor, so I thought I'd ask the pros for help. Here's the situation...My three point hitch has a mower attached to it that I use for mowing acreages for side money. This morning when I lifted the mower to back it off the...

Where do I check it too? Is it that dip stick looking down to the right of the seat of your in it? Thanks..... Yes, I cannot find my owners manual, and I forget if that was differental or hydro...

I just went to my dealer yesterday and he had a rear remote setup on the B7800 on the lot. I took a few pictures and will post them when i get home, there is a neat bracket that mounts the valve to the rops and the system has three hoses. one return to the tank teed into the return from the...

My son has a Kubota B7800 with a LA402 loader I would like to add an additional open center hydraulic valve. I am thinking that this should go in series with the loader valve but it is not clear if we should install it before or after. The advice of this august group would be appreciated Roger

I have been looking to upgrade from my BX22 to possibly a B2920 or B3030 however, I just dont like the current B3030 BH design (with additional seat) and was just informed that our friends at Kubota have incorporated the B2920 integrated swivel seat and a new BH :) with the the B7800...

Hi perhaps you can help me better understand the frame styles between the B and L series tractors. I'm contemplating buying a nice new orange tractor but have to come to grips with the differences in frame style between the L and B series. From a durability perspective wrt to 20 to 30 yrs...

...and I figured it had something to do with the cutoff switch on the mid-PTO. For those not familiar, the PTO has to be in the OFF position to start the engine. I have 130 hours on this tractor, and I love it, but several times over the 17-18 months I've owned it it has shut down as I stepped...

Can anyone tell me what a B2620 and or B7800 with mid mount mower and front end loader would typically cost in the northern states. Thanks! Bill

Can anyone tell me what a B2620 and or B7800 with mid mount mower and front end loader would typically cost in the norhtern states. Thanks! Bill

Anyone else out there have a seat failure on a B7800? The seat is attached to the top of the seat distance adjuster rails by 2 bolts on each side. Well, one side of the rail failed at the bolts and the other has serious cracks, so I have to replace them both at a cost of about $60. I was a...

First, what is the minimum number of hours to change the engine oil without wasting money? For example is there any benefit in changing the oil at 10 hours? Also would you change the filter as well at your suggested hours, or just empty the oil out of it? Second, what is the little trap door...

It's been about a month, but better late than never. Isn't that the most beautiful orange?:D

I am now an owner of a B7800. I got it with a rear finish mower and box blade for $8700. It is used with 25 hours on it. Great deal I think. Anyway, this is my first tractor and have figured most of it out. Only thing I don't know is what the dial in the center of the deck does. Open ---->...

All- I am trying to use my B7800 rear remote aux hookups for the first time and I am a little confused. The rear aux plate has two connectors, one on top of the other. Both connectors seem to be using the same female QD fittings. My assumption is that one of these fittings is the send...

I'm considering replacing my B7800 turnbuckles with the telescoping stabilizer ala B29xx. $145 for parts at TractorSmart.com. Someone that has done this or has the B29xx stock stabilizers - please comment on if there is any side-to-side play in them. Something that I like abouit the...

Hey Guys- I came across a local add for a Woods 750 backhoe and I am wondering if you guys think this is a good deal. I am looking to use the backhoe on the 3pt of my Kubota B7800. I will have to power the backhoe w/ my aux hydro since it does not come w/ a PTO pump. It appears to be in...

On my tractor, the Full up and Full down work, but when using the full up, the engine strains a bit (with no implement) - is this normal? Than manual pg 39 says if noises are heard when implement is lifting after control lever has been activated, it's not adjusted properly. I see the double...

Can anyone post a side by side pic of B7800/B3030 vs. L2800/etc. that shows the size difference well? Thanks

I just installed the alternator upgrade for my B7800. Everything seemed to go ok despite terrrible instructions. However, there are 2 leads that go under the instrument cluster. One lead connects to the new 50 amp fuse. The other lead goes where???? I started the tractor, and the battery...

I have very hilly property - very hilly. I have the rears loaded and the FEL low, but I still avoid some places that I think I should be able to mow. So I'm looking at options for more stability. I did just read the thread about the custom rear wheel spacers - very nice. Right now I'm interested...

There have been a few threads lately about B7800 vs. L2800. They seem to favor the L, but I'm thinking that there must be advantages to the B. Weight - My use of a tractor would be for tilling and loader use. With 600lbs of tiller on the back and a loader on the front I think the weight...

Kubota dealer offered me a B7800 with FEL, Belly mower, 7ft Woods back blade and a 57" tiller for 17,000 plus my 460 international utility with 2000 loader. Rough breakdown was 15,000 for tractor with mower and loader, 1600 for tiller and 400 for the blade. What else should I be looking at in...

Ok, I had started a thread in the main area, but decided to move this discussion here in the Kubota area. I has been looking for a step up on a new tractor from my BX1500. I was not really considering Kubota as the only way to go, but was thinking B7800 low end and L3400HST on the high end for...

I would like to thank Andy Tatro and Markham Welding for their great products and fantastic service and thanks to Rob and Marko for their patience in putting up with my endless questions. I picked up my tractor last evening after having the Tatro Grapple installed. I wish that I had had the...

Greetings I have newer B7800 w/BH75 and recently removed backhoe. No trouble with removal. However, when I went to reinstall the stabilizers had leaked down and the hoe was essentially sitting on the ground. Trouble was that the hydraulic hoses are not long enough to hook up with the hoe that...

Hi first post here but have gotten a lot of good info here :) Just bought a woods 5000 chipper for my b7800 but when I hooked it up I found that the chipper only turns clockwise (when facing the 3 pt hitch side and the pto on the tractor turns counter clockwise! I've never run into this type...

Bought new Kubota this past weekend and 3 pt hitch won't budge. Hydraulic fluid not all the way full, but within the two marks. Manual says to turn wheels left and right to remove air - did that 20 times and still nothing. I can hear it trying to work. Knob confirmed open, but no action...any...

Greetings. I'm a new user and greatly appreciate all the helpful advice to be found on this site. I've searched this forum for the answer to my particular question, but with no sucess. I plan to install an inexpensive work light on the rear of my B7800. There is a free/empty wire with...

Tried to upload my B7800 Parts Manuel but file must be to large and upload failed. Can email to those that request it. 292 pages.

Can someone tell me if there is a shop manual available for the B7800 and if it is helpful? Does it have diagrams of the electrical system? Thanks, Barney

I was working with my B7800 today and I got off the seat with the engine running and walked away from the tractor. When I walked back the engine was stopped and would not crank. I checked to insure the PTOs were not engaged and they were not. I thought a limit switch might have failed so I...

I've been looking for a 4wd tractor to landscape my .6 acre property rather than a skid loader. Landscapers at $80-$100K and I think I can buy a tractor, keep it for a year, and complete the job for about $25-$30K. I'll be hauling about 150 tons of rock, 50 tons of stone (retaining walls)...

Looks like 3pt hitch type is not the way to go according what i've been reading. What would be the best size for one with the sub-frame.would appreicate any information.

I borrowed a friends box blade to see if it's something I might want to purchase... it's the first time I am using the 3 pt linkage on my B7800. I managed to get the two lower links and top link connected to the 6' box blade, but the blade is sitting at a severe right to left angle. I have...

Hey Guys- Reading through craigslist last night I came across a local individual selling a 5' Woods Cadet 60 rotary mower for $200. I thought this was a pretty good price, so I went to take a look at it today. It had alot of rust, in some places the shell was rusted through, but the blades...

Guys, I need your advice. I need a post hole digger for my '03 B7800. Wife and daughters have horses and we need more fencing. I do not want to spend $1000-$1200 on a really good post hole digger. Money is tight! I would like to spend about $400-500 on one. I have seen a Leinbach brand out...

Hello I just finished changing the transmission oil and filters on my B7800. The manual states that the transmission capacity is 14.5 litres. I drained it from the 4 locations noted in the manual and emptied the filters into my drain bucket and only got 12 litres. When I filled it back up with...

I have a B7800HSD and I just had a BH75 installed and I was hoping that someone could give me some information concerning the hydraulic block mounted on the side of the tractor housing. The block has two ports, one is labled Pump and the other is labled Pump and the other is labled Power...

aside from the some of the obvious differences in workings of each machine are they basically the same running gear package? thanks,:) dd

I have a 2003 B7800 which has developed a problem. Occasionally the engine just quits running for a second or two. It reacts like you are getting off the seat while the tractor is moving, but this always occurs when I am on the tractor. I am guessing the switch under the seat is not working...

This is my first post here. I'm looking to buy my first tractor and looking in the orange direction after reading all the post here. My question is, I've found a B2710 w/ 130 hrs. on it with FEL, Tiller, Finishing mower, Post hole digger, scrape and box scrape, All looks new, been garaged. Price...

I've been looking at the models and like the turfs on the 2x20 (very flat and wide) but noticed that the 3030 has a completely different style with more of an oval shape (bowed out in the center of the tread). This is the only turf style I have seen on all the 3030s so far. Are the B7800s using...

I'm down to these 2 models and was looking for opinions. Will be used for general maintenace ( clearing, moving fallen trees, stone work, cleaning up a 1500 ft driveway in both summer and winter although in winter i plow as well, 1/2 acre garden maintenance). Will not use for mowing as we have...

I have a friend who is looking for a small tractor for his 15 acre horse ranch. He has looked at the B7800 and the B26. Comparing both, what is the best between the two? I had a B7800 in the past and it was one heck of a tractor. But, looking at the B26, I think it may be the stronger tractor of...

At times in the summer you can mow at dusk or even dark. Trouble is, most tractor lights create too much glare or shadows. So I mounted lights to the weight bracket of my B7800 this way. I went to a True Value hardware store and bought some "L" shaped support brackets for $5.79 each. The...

I've got a bit of field grass to mow, but mostly forest edge with Oriental bittersweet vines and saplings I intend to keep at bay. I do have the occasional rock 4-8 inch rock sneaking it's way out of the ground. Is the Landpride 1860 durable enough for this or would something along the lines...

I pulled the trigger a couple of months back on a B7800 w/FEL, 63" front snowblower, and 72" mmm. Just wanted to stop in to say thanks for all the valuable information I have been able to get from this forum. For anyone interested, both the snowblower and mmm are impressive. The mower in...

Which tractor have more pulling power? I'm about to get a B7800. Primary use is to drag a boxscraper and some loader work. Salesman at the dealership said L2800HST will work much better for these tasks and can pull a bigger boxscraper. I thought the B7800 has 30HP and the L2800 is a basic...

Anyone know what's the depreciation value per hour for used tractor? I'm looking at a B7800 with approx 200 hours and another one with approx. 600 hours. Both 2005 year model and look like in about the same condition. Can't even tell the difference if not looking at the hour meter. Price...

Been reading all the great post here, and absorbing the info, I started to make a list of a few models that I'm considering. I have an 8 Acre lot, 4 acre fields with some wet spots/hills, some gullys, 600 foot hardpack driveway. 1 Acre around the house that is cut regularly/grass. Probably not...

I have about $16k budget to buy a tractor. My intended uses are general landscape work at the ranch. Lots of trenching and digging. Driveway and trail maintenance. About 1/2 mile of dirt driveway and a couple of miles of ATV trails need fix every spring. Main project is to improve drainage...

What do you all think about this: B7800HSD, R4, LA402-1 loader, B1617 60" Bucket, RCK60-27B 60" Mid mount mower, setup and delivered to your address $17,592

Hi- New to the forum, first post. I'm about to buy my first tractor from my local Kubota dealer. I've been researching the subject and prices for the past few months and I finally think I found a deal with pursuing. I am hoping I can get your two cents and let me know if this is sound or...

Can someone give me the proper idle speed for the B7800. I just bought a used one and I'm idling at about 1000 rpm and I thought this to be high for an idle speed. It seems to use a lot of fuel.

Would I have a problem with a RCR 1860 on a B7800. Both in terms of lift weight and cutting power? Mainly to be used to keep my woods edge clean in my fields. Have a lot of viny growth like Oriental bittersweet. Some mountain laurel. If I dropped down to the 1548, anyone see any...

Hello All- I could use some help here. I am just about done with my 300 hours service, with the exception of cleaning the hydro screen. The bolt (conveniently located behind the left rear wheel!) is a little tough to get to. I believe that it is a 25 mm, but I don't know for sure. I have...

I need to look up a B7800 part #B1775 It's a front grill guard and I would like to know if it includes both the upper and lower portion. The upper part would be a flat bar king of thing and the lower part would be a round bar type bracket that bolts to the front of the tractor frame. The two...

What would be the Kubota part # for the B7800 alternator upgrade kit? Is there a good online source for this and other Kubota parts? Any idea what a price range may be for the kit? I have had local dealers quote as high as $300-400! Thanks.

I want to mount my small 15 gal spot sprayer to the back of my B7800 on a small 3-pt hitch platform. Is there an unused circuit I can use in the back of the tractor for power? Perhaps an unused circuit for a worklight?

Just took delivery of a new B7800 and am trying to figure out how to install a worklight on the ROPS. I have read that there is a spare connector beneath the seat for attaching such light. I just can't seem to locate it. Is it hidden? Tucked away for only the dealer to find? I can find the...

I have a B7800 and I am thinking of adding the Kubota bolt-on front grill guard. Not the one that comes with the loader but just the plain old grill guard. I can't seem to find a photo of one and can't seem to find anyone that knows what they look like. Before I order, does anyone know or...

I a looking to sell my mid mount mower and not sure what a fair price would be. I tried a search on ebay and nothing came up so I figured I would ask here to see what a fair price would be I think there around 2400 new. I purchased it new on my 7800 which only has 116 hours so the mower...

I've been tractor shopping for a few weeks and have narrowed my choices to the two Deeres and the old style Kubota. I can buy the 2520 and the B7800 comparably equipped with FEL and 60" MMM for essentially the same price and the 2320 for $1800 less. My application is a home on 5 acres with 2-3...

Hi all, I'm a newcomer to posting here but have been reading the threads for the past 6 months or so while doing research on my first tractor purchase. I'm at the point where I'm ready to buy, and thought I'd check one last time here with the forum. Sorry if this is old hat - I've read the...

I have a 3 yo Kubota B7800 that, until recently, has been running beautifully. Over the past day or so it has developed a tendency to die unexpectedly. It is not overheating and there seems to be a correlation to the amount of stress put on the engine (either driving up a hill or engaging the...

Hello, This is my first hydro trans tractor as opposed to gear and I've got about 30 months and 88 hrs on her. My question is lately when I'm moving snow, after 20 mins or so I smell what I believe to be hydraulic fluid. I haven't found any leaks and the level on the stick seems to be the same...

I am sure this will work but I thought I might throw it out because my dealer is giving me some static on this. I have just about had enough of my Turnbuckles getting bent up using my box-blade. I want to buy a set of slide bars for a B3030 and use them on my B7800 in place of the turn buckles...

Just a few thoughts: - Goto love that 14.7 inch clearance - Nice smooth running engine that provides plenty of power - I like the FEL reinforceing bar that runs across the back of the hood. It marginally interfers with fueling, but it more than makes up for it as a grab bar when mounting...

I have a B7800 that I'm trying to mount a BL4690 hoe on. The hoe came off of an L series tractor, so the top mast is different. I was going to cut and drill the mast bars to fit to my tractor. My question is: does anybody have any measurements of how long the top mast bars are and where the...

I helped a buddy hook up a new front blower to a BX24 last weekend and I'm seriously considering purchasing a blower for my B2910. The hydraulic lift setup is sweet for the BX24, but for the life of me I cannot figure out the configuration of the lift mechanism for a B2910. The only reference...

I have a B7800 that is prety much just a lawnmower. Since I added a grill-guard, however, I can't see to mow at dusk and want to add lights up front. I have added lights to a roll bar in the past but was not happy with the shadows it created and have added to grill guards but still had some...

I am intrigue by the idea of a hydraulic top link. I know I would have to get the hydraulics to the rear of the tractor and I would use the CCM hydraulic toplink....but I have no idea how to do it or if it is even feasible. Has anyone with a B7800 (with FEL) installed a rear hydraulic block...

I'm contemplating selling / trading my 190hr B2400 to upgrade to a new tractor. I'm looking at the three tractors above. I need to iron out their (non cosmetic) differences. I'm looking for apples - to - apples comparisons on FEL capacity , three point capacity, hydraulic capacity, etc. Specs...

I bought a new B7800 with the Kubota 72" under mower. Have had it for two years and it mows fine. My question has to do with the four gauge wheels that provide the correct height for the cut. The mower is level just fine but the stubs from the gauge wheels on one side sit higher above the top...

I purchased a new 7800 yesterday with the 402 FEL and a Rhino 500 rear blade. :) Out the door price was $17K and i used Kubota's 2 year, no down, no interest financing. Sweet. I considered both the 3030 and GL3240. Man, I loved the 3240 but it is just a bit too much tractor for my in the...

I have a B7800 and come spring would like to use my 1050 lb. Brillion seeder to "roll" my lawn. It's a big thing on clay ground. I have three acres. The question is...the B7800 has a lift capacity of 1500 lbs and I don't want to blow out any seals or anything. I would just lightly lift at the...

Just bought my tractor, custom paint and decals haha :D See attached pic

I bought a B7800 with the six ft mower deck and could find no info regarding greasing the spindle bearings in the owner's manual. I think they are sealed bearings and that overgreasing can damage the seals but am not sure so I just give them a couple pumps every other time I mow. Anyone know...

I've just purchased a used rck60-27b mower deck for my B7800 tractor. I'm curious to know how old the deck is, as I may change some bearings if the deck is older than I think.[looks to be in pretty good shape] The serial number is 215xx. Could anyone tell me the age and the first three digits of...

I've narrowed down my choices to a B3030 or B7800 (or possibly the new B2920 once I can check one out). In the mean time, I have to figure out what tires to go with - Industrials or Ags. My property is sloping, mountain terrain, with plenty of rocks, decomposed granite, tree stumps, trees, and...

To all those people out there that have made posts regarding chains. Thank you. I put 4 link v-bar on the rear R4's and 2 link v-bar on the front R4's. I would have never thought of flipping the front tires to get space and this provides plenty of clearance. With these chains on, I can go...

Need some opinions, I got a quote on a Woods BH6000 for $4K installed,I got a quote on a BH70x for $6k installed, I will only use it for work around the house, stumps, ditches and honey do's. Does any one have a BH6000 on a B7800? if so is it way too small? What is everyone' s opinion on...

I have a B7800, and would either like to get a front blade or a snowblower for it. Just wondering if any of you folks have opinions about any of the aftermarket brands and how much they cost. The ones I've checked out are pretty expensive, but would probable be worth the money if they deliver.

Sort of a neo-phyte here. My front tires (Ag type) look to me like they are extremely soft (really a lot of play when driving uphill, making turns, etc.) and I was wondering how much air should be in the front and back, and if there is a tip for eyeballing correct pressure. Thanks

I am considering these two machines, both used, for general landscaping, mowing and snow removal on 13 acres. I have a 900' driveway, and the terrain is rolling hills with some relatively steep slopes, but most of it is old hay fields and pasture, so there aren't any rough obstacles to deal...

My buddy and I both have B7800's, and he wants to put a cab on his. I was wondering if you folks had any opinions about them, are they worth it, leaks, etc. I believe he was looking into the sims, but any info would be helpful. Thanks, Pat

I'm really feeling stupid that I can't figure this out. I've searched and read all kinds of posts here about adding lights to tractors, but I'm still not sure what to do. I own a B7800Kubota with about 70 hours on it. First tractor. Love it. Can't believe what I'm gettin' done. You folks...

My wife and I are rookie tractor owners, having just purchased a Kubota B7800 and a Woods PHD35 so we can fence our property ourselves. Anybody have any input on the suggested sequence for attaching the post hole digger to the PTO of the Kubota?

I am nearly ready to buy my tractor, have been looking and wishing now for three years, but still need a little advice (nobody had better give me that 'green, blue, orange are all equal bs; I've looked AND touched, and orange is the best ;) ). My area is blessed with an abundance of Kubota...

Please see the attached ZIP file (an Adobe PDF of the original Powerpoint Presentation with photos for clarity) of the installation of the Kubota 40 amp alternator upgrade for a B7800 or B3030. Consider this my contribution to the TBN. The only way I can upload this is as a ZIP file. If one...

Anyone out there using Pat's ECS on there B7800. I'm having a problem keeping the hooks aligned on the implement lift pins. When I lift the implement the top side of the Pat's hooks lean inward. Tryed adjusting with the set screws, but just can't get enough. The top side of my lift arms tend to...

About 12 acres of a 12 degree slope, general use and would also need a backhoe, auger, tiller. TC30 price was 14,999 for tractor with loader which seems a lot less expensive than the B7800 hsd-f for 16,198 or L2800 hst-f for 16,454. The kubota guy was really pushing the B7800 because it was 4...

Based on some posts I've read I asked my dealer if he could get me some 2 link ladder chains for my 12.4x16 R4's. He said that the chains were 7/32", but when I looked on tirechains.com it appeared that theirs are 3/8". Just to make sure I'm comparing apples to apples, I wanted to find out what...

My dealer told me to use the 80-90 weight but I was about a half quart short when I finished...I used some UDT I have from my tranny oil change. Is it OK to mix 80-90 weight with UDT? I noticed it's a little foamy but nice and sticky..Seems to mix together very well..Seems to be a very good...

Last weekend I picked up a B7800HST (2003 model, I believe) that has 204 hours on it and has been garage kept. It has the R3 turf tires on it, and I got it with a Bush Hog loader with 4' bucket, 60" Kubota MMM, 5' medium duty rotary cutter, 5' box blade, 6' disk, and a brand new 4' King Kutter...

I just purchased a used B7800 with a 60" MMM mounted on it this past weekend. I didn't get an owner's manual with it and the man that owned it is now deceased (I bought it from his widow), but I seem to recall that at least on some tractors the MMM can be locked in the raised position so that...

I have a 20 hp yanmar for 4 years and want to upgrade to a 30hp Kubota. I found a B7800 w/6ft belly mower from a private owner with 50 hrs. He is asking $11,000. I was wondering since the tractor is 3+ years old and such little hours if some of the seals may leak. I know with cars if they...

A couple of months ago I was caught up on projects so I lent my tractor to a friend who had some work to do fixing up his barn and getting it ready for horses. Since he brought the tractor back last night I thought I'd use the hoe instead of a shovel to pop out a rock that I kept hitting with...

Does anyone know if there is a kit to install rear hydraulics on a B7800 Kubota? THANKS!

These 2 tractors are almost the exact price. The B7800 has more hp 30/22 vs the john Deere 24/18. The John Deere has position control vs 1/4 inching on Kubota. Would there be much noticable difference in the performance of these 2 tractors? It seems like the Kubota gives you a little more for...

I am coming up to the 50 hour service on my B7800. I had the mechanics break loose all the filters before they delivered the tractor to me so I won't have to go through that experience again (painted on filters...) I was going to take off the FEL and go for it. Anything I should know up front...

What would be the going price for a B7800 with a 60 inch mowing deck. A freind of mines, brother has one for sale with 256.9 hours for sale that supposedly looks like new for $6000.00 I thought that sounded cheap but I have never priced a B7800 so I do not know. Thnaks in advance for any info.

Up in the air over this one. Don't need the Mid PTO and I could use the extra weight of the L2800. Would also consider a B7610 What is the average price difference between the 3? Options Loader Foldable ROPS Rear Work lights Brush mower rear snowblower (Massachusettts) Local dealer...

Hello! New tractor 78 hrs won't turn over. It stopped on me a couple days ago when I got off the seat. I checked the pto lever switches to make sure I didn't bump it. I think its one of the switches under the seat because I played with the seat and the switches and it did start. Today it quit...

I saw this ad on Craigslist and was wondering if this is a fair market price if everthing is in the condition as advertised. I have attached a link to the page. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks. 2007 Kubota B7800 4WD Tractor w/ Loader & Backhoe - Only 10 Hrs!

Started doing the 50 hour service for my new toy. More difficult than it should be. Probably because the frame mount for my backhps makes it hard to access filter and strainer. Got through most of it, then found I didn't have the right socket to fit the strainer bolt. Its am little larger...

I purchased something else from these folks and eye-balled the tractor while I was there. It looks to be well maintained. Wish I could buy the MMM and turf tires for my B3030! 2003 Kubota B7800 Tractor

Hi guys: OK I need your expertise input before I make a decision. I have a B7800 with Loader and box scraper also have a rotary mower. I am just starting up a small tractor business and can't make up my mind on the trailer. Definitely gonna be the Diamond C heavy duty extra wide 10,000 GVW...

Before I got my B7800 I use to drive my 4x4 up my hillside to the trails in the back, buck my maple logs with my Husky chainsaw, fill up my wheelbarrow, wheel it to the truck and throw them in the back of the truck, drive back to my wood shed, get in the bed and throw the logs out to the ground...

My sons were given a little, beat up Craftsman lawn tractor last year, and, well, as of last week, it kind of kicked the bucket. My younger son was heartbroken because he used the little beater to mow the guys grass on the property next to mine ( 50 bucks a pop), and he also used it to do some...

Hi! Newguy about to pull the trigger for a B7800 at $12,700; with LA402 loader at $3200., and BH75a backhoe at $6300. a grand total (gulp...) of $22,200. It'll have loaded R4 tires...my choice. If I do this now, this week, he'll go another $200. off the tractor, $100. off the loader, and $100...

New owner with about 2400 feet of gravel driveway. Is this machine big enough to do a professionally looking job regrading the driveway? Do I use a box blade for that? Thanks

Hi all, I own a 2003 B7800 with FEL, 260 hours and am looking to trade for a BX22 or BX23 with backhoe/FEL/MMM. The B7800 comes with a Bush Hog Squealer 5' shredder. I've only used this tractor for light shredding and loading mulch. I'm located in Texas. Does this sound like a fair swap...

Can any one explain the "real" difference between these two tractors, they appear to spec out very close. Why would Kubota, manufacture two tractors that are so similar? Are or have they discontinued one of them?:confused:

Hello, I just purchased a slightly used (159 hours) B7800 with 402 FEL and finish mower. Back in 2000 I purchased a TC45D with FEL and BB, which I sold 3 years later. I was pretty active on the TBN site from 1999 - 2003, but not much after I sold my tractor. FYI - the TC45D was a great...

Hello TBN Folks, Just bought a new B7800 with backhoe and FEL... thanks to everyone for the great information on this site! I got to move about 20 yards of dirt this weekend and it is performing wonderfully. I did realize, however, that some work lights would be a welcome addition. After...

I was just quoted $15700 for a B7800 with the 402 loader. This price included delivery and the rebate. Is this a decent price or can I do better?:confused:

Hello, I have a friend who needs to sell his Kubota B7800/FEL. It is a 2003 model as I recall and has, I kid you not, 40-somthing hours on it. It has been living in a barn most of it's life and looks like new. He's asking $12000. I have taken it for a test drive/inspection and it seems mech...

any word on what the b7810 or whatever it will be called. Someone has to know something. It will be out it less that 6 months. What's up with the new product?

I had a weld on my left lift link break twice since I bought my mower new two years ago. The weld broke clean at the arm. My dealer welded it for me last year. It just broke again last week. I had a local guy weld it. He has been welding for 30 years & suggested that the original weld from...

Simple question here - Is there a washer on a b7800 oil plug? I am getting some leaking on my b7800 & I don't know if I lost a washer. I changed oil recently & one of my plugs had one, but the other didn't.

I am comparing the possibility of a B21 or a B7800 with a 7' Woods backhoe. I have only spoken on the phone with the sales person. We haven't sat down to discuss the various Woods backhoe options available. Could someone please clarify the various Woods backhoe options for a B7800 basing your...

I have solved the problem of working on hillsides with my B7800. I had a machinist make a set of wheel spacers that extend each side of the rear axle 3 inches and it really improves the stability of the tractor. If anyone needs to add them to a B7800, B3030, B2910 tractor I can get them for...

My dealer has both brands so I have done a walk around of both units. Both machines are 30HP, 4WD, HST. Looking for experienced owners to weigh in on which one to purchase. These two are the closest competitors with the specs I need, and the $$ is close.

Waiting on delivery of my new B7800 and need to know if it's OK to use the BH with just the 3 point hitch or should I continue to use the sub frame I have. I'm sure that it's alot easier putting it on and off using the 3 PT hitch? Any thoughts.

Anyone have an opinion. I know the B7800 is a more powerful machine, and at my local dealers about 1k less. Any input why I should go w/ the Deere? Thanks.

Does anyone Here own a B7800 and pull a 3 point plow behind it?? My brother has a B7800 and he wants to buy a plow for it, he bought a single 14 but it doesn't track right, does someone know what the right size plow is for this tractor???

I was wondering if there is a direct replacement "alternator" kit to replace the factory dynamo that is standard on the Kubota B7800? Also, I see an after-market alternator that is available on eBay eBay: NEW ALTERNATOR FOR KUBOTA TRACTOR EXCAVATOR & MORE NEW (item 330107789551 end time...

Hi all. I have been lurking here for a couple of weeks and learning a great deal as I make this big purchase decision. I believe I am down to the two models listed above but I will give a brief overview of my research. I am not limited to a particular price but have determined a B7800 is as...

I'm just starting to think about getting a backhoe.Don't really need one but I have a few trenching/drainage jobs I want to do and could probably find more games to play with it once I got it. The Woods BH6000 seems reasonably priced, but their literature shows it mounted on some smaller (like...

For those of you with the belly mower do you wish you'd gone with the other available deck? I'm pretty close to deciding which model and brand I'm going to get. I think it's B7800 (although I considered the B7510/7610 and Deere 2320) even though I don't need 30hp but want more than 20hp...

Thanks for all the help!!! Put my deposit down on a B7800 yesterday. Went with it instead of 7610 for $1200 more.

While I am waiting for delivery of my new B7800, presently, with all the attachments, alterations, and other goodies, my salesman starts to tell me about the next gen B7800. They will be the 3400s or something like that. They will be 3 cylinders (good thing) and weigh more. Don't get me...

I need front chains in addition to the rears I already have for the icy hills and Ind tires. There is only 3/4" clearance from the tie rods. I have read about flipping the front wheels to gain more clearance. The manual does not recommend this. Is this OK for Winter only? Has anyone...

Well I was able to get sand from down the street today! I left the tractor running while I hosed the sand off when I was finished. I was off the tractor for awhile and it stopped running. First thought was that I ran out of fuel but I knew I had close to a full tank. It would not turn over at...

The other day I was backing up to connect the 3pt hitch and there was a hollow in the ground just short of where I had to stop.Every time I got to the right spot the tractor would roll back while I was getting my foot from the hydro pedal to the brake. I ended up cramming both my feet over to...

Does anyone have any comments on the 1/4 inch valve that comes with the B7800? I seem to have problems at least lowering atachments back to the same depth. I sure wish that it had stops. I have thought about perhaps making a jig to always go back to the position. suggestions

I recently purchased a B7800 with a few attachments, see photos attached, only have a few hours on it, but loving it! Thanks to all of the members that helped answer many of my questions. Really enjoying TBN, lately I am not getting enough of work done at my job, seems like I am daydreaming too...

Recently purchased a Kubota B7800, here are some photos of the tractor and its attachments; 60" MMM, 402 FEL w/ 60" bucket for a B3030, Woods Backhoe BH70-X, 60" front blade/ snow plow with subframe mount, etc.

Today after about 10 min of light working to change buckets I stood up and the engine on the B7800 quit dead. Tried to restart and while all the lights are correct the starter does nothing, no click and no engagement. After about 5 min of moving all the levers, pedals and blinkers & lights, it...

Well, I've had my B7800 for about 2 1/2 months now and put on 17 hours( of which about 20% is warmup time) mostly loader and cleanup work which it has done very well. Our recent snowfall has given me the first opportunity to use the PTO (on my used 60" rear snowblower). I noticed that as I get...

I bought B 7800 with 15 hrs on it and now have just passed 100 with no problems - I love this tractor. I thought I would share my inexpensive chain saw and chain holders. I attached 4" rigid PVC to cross barr bolt on loader post and cut hole for grease fitting access. Picture shows a bungee...

looking at a used 2003 b7800 with fel. At 3+ years old it only has 25 hours (the current owner had some medical problems). It hasn't been started in 3 months. My question - is too little use just as worse as too much use? Can this tractor have problems from just 'sitting around'? What...

I just bought this little tractor-don't 'think' it has a float, but sure would be handy with the snowplow I've installed on the front (my fabrication-not the factory unit). I've never used the kubota w/ a float-if I had it would it powered partially in the down position, but when pushing the...

Hi guys... Today I was out pushing some snow around and after about 20 minutes I could no longer get any down pressure on the front loader!!!! The thing just turned 5 hours and all snow moving hours at that!!! WTH??? I checked all the lines, all the other positions work fine but the only...

I just got a b7800 thought I was getting a 54" bucket. Get to dealer to sign papers and take final look at tractor. Salesman tells me loader came with 60" bucket. I thought thats okay same price! From what I'm hearing the 54" is a more heavy duty bucket and I'm thinking about asking them to...

I have a B7800 which I'm looking to sell. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions as to the best venue for doing this. Are there good online sites, or am I better off with an ad in the local paper? What I'm looking for, of course, is for someone to show up with cash and say they would like...

Made the deal on friday and took delivery today! It was a long drawn out deal and a tough decission to make but I ended up with a B7800. We got a ton of snow so I was able to clear the driveway. Lots more fun then the snow blower ever was. I was expecting a 54" bucket but the loader had a 60"...

I noticed another B model, maybe the B3030, which had some sort of cruise control lever (saw this in the owners manual). The B7800 I have has a pushbutton 'cruise', which may become tiresome in mowing conditions where we're mowing long straight stretches, turn then mow the other direction...

Just hit 100 hours the other day. So far no problems and now I have a rotary mower. This little tractor is awesome. Here's a pic of my meter.

I've put about 30 hours on my new Kubota B7800 since I last reported on the joyous day of its arrival. So far I've used it to till under about 4,000 square feet of sod (with a Woods tiller) to make way for a vegetable garden (and was pleased not to have to use herbicides); used the FEL to...

Does anyone have any thoughts one way or the other? I have a good price on a B7800, HST, FEL, 4WD , R4s ($14.5k) but I do not know if I should go up one more knotch? Is the B3030 worth the price difference? Thanks.

I received an offer for $14.5 for a B7800, HST, R4s with ROPS and FEL. Is this reasonable? Thank you.

I noticed that when I had the ballast box on (about 500 pounds) the 3pt hitch seemed to be slowly lowering down on its own.I checked and found that when everything was warm and at operating temperature it would drop 2 inches per hour (measured at the lift pins).When cold, about 1/2" per hour...

I purchased a used B4690 and I'm looking for advice for proper mounting to my 2004 B7800 HSD. I bought a B4690 manual (2002) and it states I need a reinforced 3-pt top link bracket. I have 2 specific questions: 1) There are 4 groups listed in the mast mounting chart. Groups 1-4. Group 2 has...

Here's what I came up with for holding the 3pt hitch arms apart when backing up to an implement. I got 2 old pieces of fishing rod(1 piece wasn't stiff enough) and taped them together side by side with electrical tape, then put a small cable clamp on about 3/4" from each end. The ends fit into...

Here is something I made to make using the 3Pt hitch easier.It is really cheap and easy to make.It consists of a small metal box which houses a tape measure. A piece of string fastened to the end of the tape measure passes through a couple of small eye bolts, and a small clip on the end of the...

Hello I spent hours on this site looking at old discussions while deciding which tractor to buy. Thanks to everyone for all the useful information.I tried to post a couple of times before but it just signed me off so I'm not going to write too much until I find out if this works.(Tractor is a...

Hi Gents; You guys all know that I had pretty much narrowed my choice down to B7800 up from a BX24 in the landscaping thread I started, well a new development just happened and now I need more advice. I was just over a week away from dropping my check over at the Kubota dealer, when out of the...

I'm lining up a purchase of a B7800 for my church. I want the quick-attach system for the sake of hooking up a QA snowplow and other implements as they are needed. Originally I was looking at the ATI Tach-All Quick Attach for $650-only way to purchase is through the dealer. After talking w/ my...

I have purchased a b7800 and will be using it now in the snow. I have a somewhat steep driveway (paved) that needs to be plowed. Should I add snow chains or do the industrial tires do o.k in snow? What else can I do to gain some traction without ripping up the drive? Thanks :)

I was able to get this log out of the woods. This is 1/3 of the tree. It is hard maple and very heavy. The front tires were off the ground several times coming up the steep hills. This piece is 10' long. I would have rather had two 15 footer for the saw mill but need a helicopter to get it...

I bought a medium sized ammo box a couple of months ago and looked for a good place to mount it on my tractor. I looked around the front and the loader areas and found no place to mount it. Finally I got tired of tripping over it in my barn so I searched once more. Came up with a way to mount...

I have been having starting and stalling problems the past three days with my three week old B7800 (6 hours on it). The weather was very cold here (-10 F) for weeks and then warned up to 32 F and has been like that for days. I keep the B7800 in the garage with the block heater plugged in. On...

Well the folks here talked me out of a SCUT and into a B7800. The test drives were also persuasive. Anyway, I was working with one dealership but have been having a hard time with the sale guy. He just didn't seem interested. He was going to sell me a B7800 for $15,250, however it took me...

I have 48 hours on this new B7800 in about 3 weeks...Pulled small stumps, cleaned oak leaves off my trails. moved a small shed, tried to lift a few trees that it would not lift, Spread 50 ton of base rock, cut ditches. The most brutal was trying to pull some small stumps..Moving the small...

I am wondering if my differential lock is working correctly...Both rear wheels seem to turn in normal operation but only 1 front wheel, it does seem to lock the front ones..is that correct?...Or is one rear wheel and one front wheel turning in normal operation? Jim

Hi All, after all my research and the advice from all you good folks I finally ended buying a new Kubota B7800 w/402 loader + 60" bucket, Rim Guard in the back tires, block heater and hooks welded onto L brackets on the bucket - $US16K - with 3 Kubota hats. Based on the TBN advice I also had a...

Anyone have a B7800 HST...I have developed this high pitched sound when moving forward...sounds like that sound when someone takes their fingernails on a chalkboard but continuous...Any comments or suggestions? I think it is comming from the rear of my tractor but can't tell which side.

Gotta tell ya....What an emotional deal buying a tractor is...I had a great salesman who hung in there with me with all the way...Way to go Mike... So what I got was a B7800 w top and tilt plus ripper spool, Gearmore 2G1 box scraper, FEL 402 , Woods standard duty toothbar.,...paid 21,000 out the...

I was about to pull the trigger on a B7610, and then storm damage in my woods got me thinking larger. Still, having an "all around tractor" is appealing. I currently have a BX22, but mow with a Simplicity Legacy that I had prior to getting a good deal on the slightly used BX. My yard has lots of...

I am deciding between a B7610 w302/352 or B7800 w/402 loader. I live in Northern Ontario Canada with 20 acres of hilly maple woods with rocky soil and some big rocks in spots. I was just outside checking out some of the rocks that I would like to move about.There are about 15 rocks a bit...

I'm still thinking about upgrading from my BX22, and have moved a notch further up on the scale. Since I will not be mowing with the tractor the gear / vs hydro is less important. I will be using a pto chipper, so pto hp is perhaps a little more important. Compatibility with a good BH is...

I have a B7800 FEL,MMM 85 hours. The engine is stalling when the tractor is moving either forward or backward. I can keep it from dying if I push the clutch in. It will idle at any RPM while sitting still and not die. It seems to stall quicker if I am going in reverse. I can travel forward a...

I'm considering my 1st tractor and cant decide what to buy. I have a couple acres of wooded hillside and 6 acres of relatively flat wooded/grass mix that I want to do general landscaping/cleanup/path building work on. I like the size/stability of the 7610 but worry about the loader lift...

I guess life is a series of choices..but some guy insisted on paying me more than I paid for the tractor, and I kept the implements for the next bundle of joy. I'm wanting more HP, as I've some tasks that are a little too much for the beloved 7800...I'm thinking L4330 for my 20 acres. There...

Here is what I'm looking at a 2004 b7800, 115 hours, LA402 bucket, Woods 7500 3 point attach backhoe, 72 inch backblade (never used) and garage stored. The person is asking $17000 and I was wondering what anyone thinks of this price. Hoping for fast replies if this is a good deal I want to jump...

Like many of you, I am debating the size of tractor I really need. 90% of the time, I will be mowing grass around the house and in the fields. The other 10% of the time I need a tractor and front end loader capable of lifting 600-800 pounds and carrying it a short distant. I like the...
