New TLB just a rumor?

TBear2005 · Feb 3, 2005

There was an earlier post in this forum in December, 2004 "Heard something interesting last week..." about a rumor of a non-commercial TLB coming out based on the B7500 frame.

My dealer says he hasn't heard anything about it and doubted it was true. I'm interested in buying a B7510, but if this new tractor is coming out this Spring I'd rather wait.

So my question is has anybody heard anything more about this? If not, when does Kubota typically announce new tractors? I want to be somewhat assured that if I buy the tractor next week, they won't announce it the 1st or March.

Thanks

I've had my ears tuned for that model also. I think they've already announced everything that's coming out this year, i.e. B2630, B3030, L-series with hydro, L4400. Even their website, which is notoriously late in listing new items, already has most of these models on it. So, either this mysterious new TLB will be out next year, or it is just a rumor.

TBear....The 2005 dealer show is over. All the new gear has been announced. There is no 7000 series TLB coming out this year. However, you can build you own TLB with new and existing implements. If you want a TLB you should check out the new 3030 with a LA403 loader and the BH75 hoe.

Go to this link: http://www.deenimplement.com/ then move to Kubota then to B series then to the new B3030. You'll see that you can get one of the newly designed backhoes with it. This is probably what you heard about. -Real nice setup.

Henro made that post. Henro, heard anything more from your dealer or your dealer heard anything more from the mystery guy? Is there any chance they were talking about the B2630 or B3030?

No, I have not seen my dealer recently. Did make a quick stop in for some hydraulic oil, but the Manager/sales guy was not in the office and the wife was waiting in the van, so I did not stick around long... /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

The guy that mentioned the "B7500 sized TLB" similar to the BX23 was a "Kubota district something or other" and he seemed like he might have some insight, but apparently not for this year anyway.

Prediction for the future? Could be... /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Don't really know anymore than that... /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I have not seen or heard anything that would elude to it. From time to time they send survays about what kind of new product they are considering and I don't recall ever seeing anything like this. I think its a good idea, but it is kinda redundant as it would not be much different than existing products.
