Loader Say I want to buy a FEL for my B7510?

Rod in Forfar · Jun 10, 2014

When I bought the B7510 (with 5' mmm) last year it was primarily for use as a mower: 2 acres of lawns and 25 acres of trees on a 48" bush hog (shared with a 35 hp tractor on a 60" Rhino). But I chose the tractor because it had a set of remotes installed. The remotes drive my block splitter considerably better than the ones on the TAFE with its tiny pump. Then I bought a 2000 lb hydraulic trailer for it. Works fine.

The 2WD TAFE has a good loader, but this summer I've run into landscaping and backfilling situations where a loader on the Kubota would have come in very handy.

So if I decided to equip a B7510 with a decent FEL, what are my next steps?

If you want the Kubota loader designed to fit it, I think La302, go to your dealer for a look in the Wholegoods catalog for the loader kit, if it is still available. If you want an Ansung or some other brand, then find a dealer in one of the brands that you are interested in and go from there. Either that or start calling the tractor junkyards to see if you can scrap out an LA302 loader from them.

I have a b7510 with la302. Nice setup. I am sure your dealer can probably get you one. However go to a dealer that sells an off brand tractor and they will have access to not name brand loaders that they can install at a lower price I expect. Then you can compare. I have a QC on a Landini and it works just fine.
