My wife and I are in the process of buying an 8 acre farmette in West Virginia. Half of the property is grass and half woods.
I have been reading through this forum for a few weeks and between the advice here and my research, I have narrowed my choices to the Kubota B7510 Turf Special and the B7610, both with 60 inch mowers.
The price difference between the two with a 60 MMM is about $2,000, partially made up from the fact that the B7610 has a more substantial mower deck.
My concern is that the B7510 turf special 60" deck does not appear to allow the rear wheels to be spread to their widest stance because the deck wheels interfere with the rear tractor wheels. The dealer told me this and showed me the tractor with the deck attached. Sure enough, The deck wheels were in the way.
I thought that I had seen someone else address this, but I couldn't find the post. Is there a way to adjust the deck forward to make the deck wheels clear the rear wheels? If not, does the 54" deck for the B7510 turf special have the same issue?
The dealer said that the wheels on the more expensive RKB60-24B deck will clear the rear wheels, but that deck will cost me another $1,000 which I can use for another implement or toward fixing up this place.
Thanks,
Bruce
ps: This forum has been a great aid in helping me with my selection. Thanks to everyone.
