I was at a local dealer this morning trying to decide between the B7610 and the B7800. I noticed that the FEL brackets appear to be closer to the ground on the B7610 as compared to FEL brackets on the B7800. Neither machine had a MMM on it, but it looks like the MMM on the B7800 should raise at least 3" higher than the B7610 MMM. Anyone have a pic of either tractor w/ a MMM on it?

Is there a B7800 and/or a B7610 MMM owner that can measure the ground clearnce with the mower deck raised?
My local dealer doesn't have a MMM on either machine and can't really give me an answer.Thanks. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
I don't have my MMM mounted at the moment - so I can't give you an exact figure.
However - I have some pics on my website (showing MMM removal) - the first of which shows the MMM fully down. I think that the MMM can be raised @ 5-6" from the down position - so I'm going to estimate something like 7 - 8" of clearance under the MMM deck when fully raised.
As my pics show - I can take my MMM on / off in @ 5 minutes - so I don't really consider clearance an issue if I'm not mowing - as I leave the MMM off. I also take the FEL off for mowing - another 5 minutes or so - so in total it takes me @ 10 minutes to *convert* from a "FEL only* to *MMM only* configuration and back.

DanR67, thanks for the info. That's a fine looking machine. As soon as I find a buyer for my 7234 Cub, I'd like to get a Kubota like yours. I'm still torn between the B7610 and the B7800. If you could do it all over again, would you still buy the B7610 again or a different model?
