Good Mornin Bo,
IMO the Leinbach is a little too big for the B7500. I have the 7300 on my Massey Ferguson 1040 and its about right for that tractor. My Massey is considerably larger than the B7500. I believe the B7500 is about 1400 lbs ccording to Tractor Data, as opposed to the 1040 which is about 3800 lbs and larger physically also...
I would recomend the smaller 7200...
Here is a pic of mine just finishing some post hole work !
I used a Lienback 7200 behind my B7100 (16HP/12HP PTO, and slightly lighter than your B7500) just fine. The 7300 is pretty much the same unit, as far as I know. You'll be fine with the B7500.

Good Afternoon Bo,
As Jay states in the previous post, he used the 7200 on his tractor and it worked out, I cant argue with that !
I did take a look on Leinbachs' site and the 7200 JR sounds like it would be a perfect fit, but that should be confirmed by someone at the factory or by a dealer.
If the seller of the 7300 is closeby, possibly you could try it out ! If not I would call the factory or a dealer and find out for sure, before purchasing !
The seller tried to let me take it the other day...won't fit in the borrowed mini-van anyway (darn truck, it's 9 weeks and counting in the Ford garage).
I'll check with them after Labor Day (this Monday) and go from there.
I also agree that the 7300 will be a little too large for your tractor. PTO wise, you will be fine with either one since very little HP is needed to run the PHD. Where I think you will run into a problem is getting enough lift to keep the auger tip from dragging the ground during transport.
