I'm getting some conflicting numbers on the weight of the tractors I'm looking at.

I came up with an estimated weight of 3,000 lbs for a B7800 and 2,500 lbs for a B2410/B7610. This is including a FEL, filled R-4 tires, and all fluids.

One dealer told me about 3,000 lbs for a B7800 and another dealer told me about 3,350 lbs for a B2410. Equipped the same a B2410 should not weigh more than a B7800.

What's correct? I need some help on this. Weight is a big factor in my decision. Are Kubota's numbers accurate? I figured they were a dry weight. Also, how much would a L352 or L402 loader weigh on their own?

Thanks,
Darrell

LA402 loader with bucket weighs 800 lbs. LA352 should weigh about 100 lbs less.
B2410 weighs 1480 with ROP's.
B7800 weighs 1740 with ROP's.
Filled R-4 tires will add about 400 lbs. A little less on the B2410.
Your numbers are fairly close. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I just got an e-mail from one dealer with the breakdown that he has on the weight. This is his reply:

B2410 - 1345lbs
B7800 - 1890lbs
LA352 - 1000lbs
Tire Fill - 1000lbs
Filling the tires actually adds a lot of weight to the tractor.

I just about choked when I saw that tire fill number. What are they using lead? Apparently there is some difference of opinion. I hope I guess this right, but I think there is a Kubota dealer, Messick, that frequents this site. If you read this would you mind chiming in?

Thanks,
Darrell

No dought there are different ways to fill tires. Foam filling them adds a LOT of weight. One TBN member (don't remember who!) has a M9000 with foam filled tires and I believe it added around 2100 lbs.

like he said, it depends what they are filling them with. We usually use water and methonal which is about 8lbs per gallon. If they are using a dense foam you can probaly get 1000lbs - but at the expense of some ride.

Kubota recomends 400-600lbs of balast on those tractors, personaly I can not imagine why you would want more.
