B7500 vs JD755

[dinoedwards]

B7500 seems a little newer and parts are not proprietary.
Similar lift, 3rd function would be easier with B7500.
JD has 700hrs B7500 700hrs
New cylinders on B7500, new hoses on 755.

What do you want to know about those two?

Does the JD have their Quick Attach setup or pin on bucket? They both look decent, and you will need the QA for the 7500 and a new bucket as that one looks pretty rough. Would be interested in finding out why they needed to replace the cylinders on the Kubota vs rebuilding?

Also do you need the attachments on the JD mower and rake? Looks like none on the Kubota.

Don't need mower deck or the aerator on JD but could use either for ballast.
Neither has QC so I was going to do Add a Grapple which mounts to bucket, single arm.
The weight of a grapple on both these would not be good with lift limits of under 1000lbs IMO
JD 7k
B7500 9k

Agreed get one of these The Thumb - Add-on Grapple Attachments and add a 3rd Function. Of the two I say the JD is the better deal at 7K

Thanks leaning that way.
Hard to find 3rd function parts for these old 755's

Saw that nice tractor, probably go for over 12k
The Kioti DK45 looked good.
I noticed on the 755 the FEL bucket has release pins not bolts, I guess that's good thing if I could find JD attachment because those are the only ones that would fit?
Just talked to 755 owner, all new hoses, light use, will take 6500
