Soon to have Kubota B7500 HST
I am just a few days away from getting my new B7500 HST. Dealer told me about 1 1/2 weeks, it has been a week already. I can hardly wait to see my Bota. I have enough work lined up to keep it busy until Winter (which doesn't start until December around here).

One question: I will be purchasing a Rhino BR60, rear mount 60" mower with the tractor. Has anyone had experience with this mower? If so, how is it holding up / operating?

Thank you to everyone who posts on this website. All of the information was very helpful in making my decision. I will post some pictures when it gets here!

J,

Sorry I can't give you any information on the Rhino mower /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif, but I'm interested in how you do with the 66" box blade. I've found a couple of times that with my 48" (Woods) box blade that I'm near the limit of what I can pull with the B7500. Granted, I've tried to "go deep" a couple of times/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif. However, I'd talked it over with the dealer about going to a 54" or 60", and he thought I'd be happier with the 48".

Would like to hear back after you've used it a bit.

GlueGuy, I am interested in how I do with that box blade too. I was made an offer I couldn't refuse on it, so thats why I have it now. Under $250 for a new heavy-duty box blade was just too good to pass up. Everything else I priced was over $300, including a 54" from the Kubota dealer that he was selling to me "at cost".

If it is too much for my Bota I think I could sell it and get my money back easily.

Jeremy,

Any idea of what the United box blade weighs? My Woods is nearly 500 pounds. I would think that to be effective, it would need to weigh something in the order of 600 pounds or so... Replaceable blades? Scarifiers? That price is roughly half what I paid for the Woods.../w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

BTW- I should congratulate you on the new machine! I know I was beside myself for a couple of weeks!/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
