Kubota Survey

theboman · Aug 9, 2002

I just mailed back my 1 year survey to Kubota. It's directed towards the dealer, but I put my 2 cents in about my issues with Kubota.
I love my B7500, but complained about the air flow and the many different oil filter numbers they have.
As far as my dealer goes I have no issues.

I sent mine in the other day online, the survey was OK but a little to generic. My B7500 is also doing fine 121 hours and not one single problem/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

What airflow problems have you had? Mine has over 400 hours and no problems whatsoever.

It's a battle keeping the leaves, dust, grass seeds, etc. from blocking the grill and radiator screen. I carry a 2" paint brush to keep it knocked off and blow it off with a compressor when I'm mowing around the house. I keep a constant eye on the temp guage.
The B7500 sucks all sorts of stuff under the hood, I think there should be a fan to blow it away.

I have the same problem with my 7500. The lawn is new and we're in a 4 years into a drought. I imagine if everything was green the problem wouldn't be nearly as bad. I wonder if the setup the BX has, what with its radiator and fan in the rear of the engine compartment, fares any better or worse with this problem. I've come really close to running the temp guage into the red. I sure wish it had something audible in case you weren't paying close enough attention.

Bo-you're sure right about the B7500 sucking everything in. We're in the middle of a drought here in Kentucky as well and it's almost to a point where the grass is so dry it won't need cutting. I've been using a small towel to "pop" the junk out of the grill but, I like your idea of the paintbrush.

Thats normal with most tractors operating under dry dusty conditions. It's not just with the 7500.

How did you get a 1 year survey? Did Kubota send it to you? I'm about 2 weeks past my 1 year mark, and have not recieved anything like that. ...matter of fact, I'm still waiting on them to notify me about the E-Brake Recall.
Although they did mail me last week to let me know that their phone system was back up. Man those folks have some priority issues.

I bought mine in May and did not get the survey until July. You should see yours soon.

I got my survey the first of August got my 'Bota 6/1/01.

It's so dry here I have't cut grass in 2 weeks (nearly 3). I have been bush hoging upon the hill and it's all grown up.

It's so dry here I went fishing last night and caught a catfish with a tick on it.
