Kubota B7500

[tonybada]

I am considering buying a used (2002) B7500HST with a LA302 loader and 48" bush hog for $8,000 including delivery. It has only 135 hrs on it and was garage kept. It seems like a good deal, would most agree? Also for anyone who has this model how do they like it? I will be using it mainly to do a little bush hogging and clearing of small trees. I will not be mowing at all (it has R4's). I am sure I will find a lot of other projects for it once I get it. I have 10 acres, but most of it is woods and revenes.

My B7500 HST has ag. tires, loader and I do all my mowing with a rear 3 point hitch finish mower. My tractor has done everything I have tried to do with it. I even use a rear mounted remote to run my log splitter. Great compact tractor in my opinion.

I enjoy my B-7500 and for me it has done everything I have asked it to do. I do some bush hog mowing, rototilling, snow blowing and lots of dirt road rake work with it.

The price you have indicated is a very fair price for the tractor. I would say go ahead you won't be sorry.

Sounds good.

tonybada - I bought my B7500HSD new in 2003. It now has over 900 hours. I use it to mow, pull, lift, tote, and push. It has done everything that I have asked of it, and it is a pleasure to operate!

Ditto what everyone else said. I love my 7500. I bushhog, run log splitter, haul all kinds of stuff, use a backhoe, etc. Great tractor for me. When I was buying i considered a bx but ended up with the 7500 for the added ground clearance (I am in the woods a lot). This was the right choice for my situation. Your price sounds pretty good!

Good Luck.

I put 400hrs on a 03 B7500, it was a great tractor, I want another one someday when I can afford it.

I didn't realize you could run a log splitter off the 3ph. What kind of log splitter do you have and how well does it work for you?

My 1st kubota (now on #3) was a brand new 2000 B7500 w/302 fel. What a great machine, i worked that tractor like a rented mule for 700 hours before jumping up to a B3030. I pushed that machine far beyond specs on a weekly basis and she never let me down! The B7500 is a proven machine, you will never regret the purchase!

that is good to hear since I have bought it already and it is being delivered tomorrow. There are a lot of Kubotas in my neighborhood, I am glad to be joining them finally.

Congratulations to your new toy. I have the younger brother 7510 and it is great. I think you got it at a pretty good price too.

i run the Northern Tools 3ph splitter. It works pretty well except the speed is slow. This is the downside of running a spitter off a small tractor's hydraulics. it works pretty well for me (it's not like I am splitting tons of wood - maybe 12 face cords per year). It saves a few bucks over the stand alone splitter (cost was ~$700). If you have the extra coin, I would go with a standalone splitter.

Wayne,
Could I discuss your log splitter plumbing with you please? I want to do the same on my 7500 and could use a little insite.

Thanks.

bmclaug,
Here's a pic of the rear of my 7500. I also have the Northern Tools splitter. I removed the valve from the splitter and mounted it on the back of the tractor. That way, the quick disconnects are on the splitter lines and not the tractor lines. I didn't want to ever forget to reconnect the power-beyond loop of the tractor when removing the splitter.
