I’m looking for a set of forks for my BX2380. Due to me getting the SSQA that already cuts the lift capacity, I’d like to find the lightest forks. Ai2 has the lightest I have found (167#), but they are backlogged for some time. I just thought I’d check to see how other fork companies are doing...

Anyone find real world limitations on the BX 80 Series with the SSQA reducing the capacity over the prior generation? I can’t believe this is a real issue with snow, dirt, mulch, etc. based upon the coordinated bucket size. Just curious. I have a BX2670 and it seems to lift quite a bit more than...

Kubota BX2670-1 with 335 hours. Beautiful condition. Not abused. Well maintained. Frequent maintenance schedule followed. Residential use only. Hours are current, and may slightly change, as tractor is being used. Tractor and Accessory Package includes the following: 1) Front-End Loader w/...

I was set on buying a Kubota Z422 with the 54” deck, but really liked the serviceable items on the Simplicity sitting beside it. Well, long story short, I went to drive both the Z422 and a Simplicity to lay to rest my concerns about which would be better on my bumpy yard. There, arriving just...

So I finally have had it with Kubota’s BX answer to John Deere’s drive over deck. What a POS. After dealing with the deck not staying level every year, the deck always dropping while mowing (tractor staircase adjuster), the pain trying to get it on, let alone off, and the pain in the $&@%# to...

My sister is in need of a riding mower for her city lot. I’m not big on MTD, and I’ve never heard good things of the made for big box store John Deere riders, either. I’m a bit shy of recommend she buy a used Troy Built, Husqvarna, Cub Cadet, Murray, etc. knowing they are likely repaired...

Just about fed up with the turfs for any off-grass work... especially with the loader. The sidewalks are too soft, and I notice the tread and sidewalks are easily susceptible to nicks and scratches. So, I ordered a set of R14’s for the BX. Looks like I’m the pilot here, so I’ll post after they...

Any thoughts on 54” over the 60” deck? Besides being able to get closer to weed beds with a 60” because it sticks out further, or getting through narrower openings with a 54”, am I missing any pros or cons of either? This would be on a B2601. Thanks!

So, for grins, I thought I’d check the used market on tractors, since I have a few friends looking for used units, and it seems the market is bare. Now, I’m not John Thomas, but I’m kind of his red-headed stepchild in terms of quantity of tractors traded, so I’ve done this a bit. I have a good...

I had the same problem with my BX2660, and now my BX2670. When it’s really cold, like single digit cold, the fuel gels up regardless of additive. I put plenty of Power Service in the winter blend fuel from the fuel station, and that did nothing. Then I added Opti-Lube snd let it run for 30...

I’m wondering if anyone has found a reasonable way to mount mirrors on their BX without the loader attached. I’d like to add a set for plowing, but have the front blade with the quick attach sub-frame installed and not the loader. Magnets on the hood seem to produce shaky vibrating mirrors...

I’ve all but exhausted my interest in the drive-over deck for my BX2570. It’s a major PITA that will not allow removal or installation like the standard deck, and despite how easy it looks to remove and reinstall, I most always have issues. So, I’m wondering how much difference I’d find with a...

Does anybody know if there is an oil blow-off port or breather that would release oil if overfilled? I changed oil in my tractor, and shortly thereafter, it started leaking. Since the oil was clean, the drop here or there resembled hydro fluid. I thought it was the power steering. Well, after...

My back may be killing me from hustling wet treated 2x8’s and bending over and squatting to build these puppies, but I can’t imagine what I’d feel like shoveling and moving all the dirt to fill them by hand. The BX may be small, but it is a lifesaver. I still have a bunch of regrading and...

After several years of ownership, I’m not finding any love for the drive-over mower deck on my BX2670. I find it more cumbersome to deal with the drive-over alignment sub-chassis that stays with the tractor, that I’m thinking of ditching the mower for the standard deck... or trading it off. More...

After owning a DR trimmer for four years, I needed some parts. I ordered on line, a little irritated that the three things would fit in a padded envelope, but I would get screwed paying $17 shipping for a box of air. Oh well. Sign of the times, right? After a week of being run around, and...

Has anyone used a landscape block splitter to split Belgian pavers with success? The concern is taking a 6 inch by 9 inch paver 2 and a quarter inches thick and splitting it on each end to make trapezoid shaped pieces to make them fit a radius. Basically, I’d be splitting a wedge off each end...

Do the 80-Series BX’s still have the rolling issue with the hydro when taking your foot off the hydro pedal? I almost took out the corner of my barn yesterday with my 70-Series. Just curious if Kubota resolved this issue with the new tractors.

I am in the process of buying a used front snow blower for my BX2670. It is missing the mid-PTO shaft to the quick hitch. I can’t seem to locate the correct part number I need, to try and find a used shaft setup. Any part number information would be appreciated.

I just put a front blade on my BX2670. It's the quick hitch type, not the FEL mounted blade. It smokes the FEL mounted blade in EVERY way. No more traction issues, side-walking, feathering the loader controls to maintain traction. My question is about slow return on angling one way over the...

I have a friend who purchased an LX280 with a plow, bagger, and mower. Unfortunately, no manuals came with the unit. Right now, he is trying to get the plow hooked up, and with box of brackets and pins, he can't get the plow attached and the lift system figured out. Would any of you have a...

It's getting difficult to find the BX2763A front blade and frame for my 70-Series tractor, and used ones are either gone before they are posted, or are too far to make the drive worth it. Knowing I'll likely trade to an 80-Series down the road, I'm wondering if anyone has put an 80-Series front...

I am considering a quick hitch for ease of hooking up a Heavy-Hitch for ballast and receiver use (Deathtoblackberries confirmed QH10 already), Landpride 1560 rear blade, and Kubota rear 51" blower. Question is, the rear blade is marked quick hitch compatible, but what about the blower? It's a...

Can I expect to receive any discount on implement purchases purchased alone without a tractor deal? And if so, what can I expect?

Anyone have first hand experience with both that can provide insight of one over the other? I'm looking to either add a front blade to my BX2670, or move up to a BX2680. Doubt I'll ever look at a snowblower, so the new front shaft coupling is of no real concern. Lots of talk here about using...

Saw them on Messicks site. Looks interesting. Maybe even better than the FEL mounted blade. Anyone have experience? Maybe some pics on a BX?

Dads got an old John Deere, which I think is a 950. Been a while since I was in his shed. He complains the temp gauge only works when it's cold outside. Never when it is slightly warm or hot out. Any idea what it could be? Also, I'm not a testing guru, but his fuel gauge stopped working to...

I purchased a King Kutter 60" rear blade for my BX2670 for assistance in snow removal. I haven't picked it up yet, and am wondering if the Land Pride RB0560 would be better. Some claim the KK is cheap and welds break easily. Both weigh about the same. The 15-series LP is another $150 for...

Decided to take the front tires from my BX2670 in to have tubes installed. The bead leaks have become to much for me live with anymore. Anyway, what sits in the showroom, but a nice new BX2680 with the front blower... reminding me of what I really want, but settled for the less expensive...

Two years trying this combo on my BX2670. Useless. On a paved driveway, I have no control. No steering. Angle the blade, and ALL bets are off. I don't care to blow a front axle with chains. Is this just a poor combination because the tractor is so light? Last year I had the rear blower on...

So, I have a new pine needle rake that I never really used since I modified my landscape. Is there any other use for it I should consider before getting rid if it? Looks like one of those "gotta have another purpose" implements.

I need to tube the front tires of my BX2670. Always losing air. What's the best way to pop the bead on one side of the rim to put in a tube? I'm not thinking beating it with a 5# hammer and a block of wood is really going to work. Thanks!

I was searching for some info on line last night when I came across a video by some tractor dealer in Ohio trying to bash the Kubota BX 80-Series, while praising the Green contender. Actually, they were trying to perform a simple demonstration, but let me just say, Mutt and Jeff obviously...

I've had three B's, and am on my second BX. I don't know what's changed, but the current set of turfs on my BX2670 are the worst for anything more than mowing. I don't know why they seem to be so soft. It seems like I am always filling them with air, and today, after just checking their...

I had a set of R4's and Turfs for my last BX. After I bought the R4's through the Kubota whole goods for under $300, I never used the turfs again. The R4's were gone on grass, and offered front tire support when using the loader when the turfs almost ride off the rim. Well, stupidly, when I...

As it says. Figured I'd order online, but is there a "better" place to buy? Best style for asphalt use? Closer spacing, no V-bars. What about for steering? Will they help? I have the FEL front blade and have lost steering with my blower on the back. Thanks!

I put my B2789 rear-mount blower on my BX this weekend to test and cut the driveshaft. I noticed that in the highest lift position, which I can't guarantee I won't reach when snow blowing, the lobe on the blower coupler at the tractor hits the lower link stabilizer brackets where attached to...

Ive seen a lot of discussions on determining the differences, but it still seems to be contradictory. My BX2670 does not indicate -01 on the frame sticker, so is it a straight 70 series? I have the standard vertical ROPS and the drive-over deck. The dealer paperwork says "01", but where would...

I am looking to purchase a bagger for my BX2670. I like the compact size of the factory bagger. I anticipate grass collection mostly, but want it to pick up small sticks and leaves from a few sycamore trees that are time consuming to rake. The sticks are smaller than pencils, usually. What...

Anyone install a factory rear remote on their BX? My dealer recommended this instead of a third function, to get the best of both worlds.

I've had several tractors and never saw the "do not exceed 2500rpm in the first 50 hours" notice. Have you all observed this? Granted, I'm not working the tractor hard, only mowing. For years and many, many trucks, I drive them off the lot, hit the interstate, and pegged the cruise at 68 for...

I have been talking with Jery about his QA and forks for a few months, and he has been working on a set of movable forks. Well, I drove up last weekend and picked up the first set of movable forks made and a QA for my B2620. Absolutely unbelievable! Everything is laser cut, welded with...

I'm sure JOHNTHOMAS will chime in here... Sold the BX the other day, so I'm going for the B. My last concern is the tires. My last B's sliced the sod on turns, albeit sharper turns. I test drove one last week with the turfs. It also cut. I'm only concerned in areas of the same pattern...

After dethatching with my simple Agrifab 40" dethatcher behind the BX2660, I decided that I really need to find a way to rake the yard with the tractor. We have several sycamore trees with pie plate-sized leaves that continually shed all year long. Constant twigs of all sizes and bark litter...

So, a little research seems to put the Tier IV questions, and which B20 Series are going away. I have found through Kubota's Engine Data that the D1005 engine in the B2320, AND the D1105 engine in the B2620 already are Tier IV compliant... NOT Iterim Tier IV, but the final judgement, Tier IV...

Yes, its the age old question... To B or BX. Ive had two B's (a 7500 and a 7510) and now a BX2660 for about 5 years. I am making some changes, so a new B2620 or a BX2670 are in my plans. Frankly, the BX has been really good, but there are a few reasons I'd switch to a B. The BX2660 is loud...

Ive never heard of tractor model dates referenced with tractors when the model designation stays the same. Clearly, a BX2660 is older than a BX2670. Does it matter otherwise? If used, we look at hours. Question is, how will I know if a new tractor is a leftover from last year, or a new one...

So, Im calling tomorrow on a new B2620. I am torn between choices for tires. I will primarily mow,and remove sniw in the winter. Im thinking of addong the QA from the B3200, and adding the front blade... eventually. I really dont mind the turfs except that with my B7500, the fronts were...

What do you all think? I'm seriously thinking of pulling a John Thomas and selling the BX2660. Not sure if I'll go BX2670, BX25D, or most likely B2620. I want to sell mine outright, and it may take longer than the end of March.

Where is the difference in the loader on the BX25D that allows the bucket to dump so far... like 180 degrees from curled? The specs show the same max dump angle, cylinder size, and looking at my BX2660, I could never get the bucket in the position the BX25 does when using the bucket as a...

Has anyone been able to confirn the differences between these loaders for thd BX series? Id like to put the QA on my BX2660 with the LA243, but supposedly, Kubota says NO. I have scrutinized the two loaders, and I find them to be exactly the same in appearance. When comparing the specs, there...

Stopped in for a new taillight for the BX2660 today. I planted the tractor the other day moving snow and the mailbox wound up between the rear fender and the rear blade. The taillight lost. Almost had to wear sunglasses walking into the showroom. Man, all that orange is bright...

As it says. Sitting on my BX, I'm about 6" over the top of the ROPS. I'm going to put a canopy on this summer and integrate a self made can before winter. I would like a higher ROPS. Anyone done this?

How do I choose a Racor fuel filter and separator for my BX2660? I despise the barbed plastic lawn mower type Kubota uses. A bowl-type or spin-on would be easier to maintain and thaw if gelled up. Help is appreciated.

I am considering selling my BX2660 for financial reasons and would like to know where can find the best average price to sell it for. I have been looking around, and find no BX's used, except an 1860. Maybe that's a good thing, but I need to be realistic. It has 170 hours, FEL, 60" MMM...

I'm thinking about making a financial move, which includes selling my BX2660. It has about 330 hours on it, looks and drives new, includes FEL, MMM, and both turf tires and R4's. It seems in N. Illinois, the prices range between $10k and $13k. Local dealers are around $16k new, plus tax.

I am thinking about putting a "soft" edge on my FEL to eliminate damage to the sealcoat on my driveway this winter. Last year was rough. I will be doing the same on my rear blade. The problem is that the rear blade has bolt holes, while the FEL does not. What is the best way to attach a wear...

I noticed when I took off my MMM this weekend, the difference in the threads on the adjustment of the front link (the link that is "levered" up between the front wheels) was about 1/2" between each side. That seems way off to me. My B's were always very close, but they were ground contact...

I have the shop manual for my B7510 sitting here. It's been handy, but now that the tractor is gone, I'm thinking about selling it to a happy B7510 owner. Then I got to thinking... the manual has offered much piece of mind on my maintenance, although I have never had to dig into it like...

Why No Quick Attach Bucket on BX's? Or the B's for that matter? I see the Green Machines have quick attach fron loader buckets that come off in a snap. Why can't Kubota do that? I can't see it putting that much more weight on the FEL and decreasing the lift capacity by much. It sure would...

I set up my yard sprayer for the back of my BX2660 a couple of weekends ago and sprayed my yard. I now notice coverage was not the best as I have some broad-leaf that didn't quite make the change from green to brown. I am using a Northern Tool sprayer with their 2-nozzle set-up and their boom...

Has anybody installed a front hitch on their BX? I see a front-mount 2" receiver for the BX on eBay, and thought it would be helpful in moving my landscape trailer into the barn (minimal tongue weight), and for installing a clevis to chain the tractor down while trailering it.

Man, I have been looking for a used rototiller for years to no avail. Every time I hear of one, it's from someone who says "Look what I just found!" I watch the papers, Craigslist, garage sales, farm sales, auctions, and I have been coming up short for years. I decided I'd really like a small...

I have blades left from the 60" deck on the B7510 I just sold and wondered if they are the same as the ones on my new BX. I know I can take one off and compare, but I was just wondering. Also, where is the best place to get another set of blades? Are the Gator or mulching style any good? I'd...

I have two grag hooks and one slip hook weleded to plates that I am bolting to the FEL on my BX2660. I am planning to bolt the slip hook directly in the middle of the bucket behing the top lip, and one grab hook on each end of the bucket along the top edge, too. The question is... should I...

Well, I hate to be this way, but I think H&H needs to get a wake-up call. Years back, I ordered a toothbar from H&H because I liked the way their toothbar had a wrapped v-edge that protected the factory bucket edge when compared to the Markham toothbar. Now that I sold the Kubota B7510, I kept...

Anybody have these? I'd like to calculate the weight before I get rid of my concrete ballast and find the box only holds 2 cubic feet!

In my search to decide if I wanted a BX, I came across a dealer that said an additional set of tires and rims (industrial tread) would cost only $300. I think that is outrageous! Outrageously cheap! I thought about buying them just because I'd have them if I needed them for heavy FEL work and...

So, since I got the new BX ( a whole 48 hours), I'm working up a list of To Do's. One major thing is snow removal. There, I question A) Front Blade w/ Quick Hitch, B) Front Blower w/ Quick Hitch, or C) Rear Blower. The price of the Kubota front blower seems outrageous. At 150 foot of...

I'm sorry to beat this subject to a pulp, but I am so close to pulling the trigger on a new BX2660 with the 60"MMM and Loader, that I am getting skittish. Who has done this and truly been satisfied, and I guess, who has done this and been mortified? I see so many of you that have a BX in...

I have a Land Pride RB1572 rear blade, which is pretty heavy for my B7510 when moving snow and gravel. It many times moves the tractor around because it is too long. So, as an option, I am considering trading the blade in with the B7510 when I get the new BX2660. The 72" blade is too much for...

Simple as that. Or is it a major headache?

Kubotabooks.com does not have these, and nowhere else I could find. Has anybody found "downloadable" .pdf book files of these anywhere else? I hate to pay $65 a piece, but I guess I was spoiled with my B7510 manuals.

I have been contemplating downgrading to a BX for two years now. I finally decided to pass on the whole idea of getting an additional tractor to be a dedicated lawn mower and keep my B7510 for loader work. I don't have room, I don't need servicing two tractors, and I certainly don't need the...

Anybody have one? How good is it? I can't get interested in twisting around for a rear-mount, so I am considering this option. What can I expect to pay today? I had a lead on a used one a couple years ago, but stupidly, I let it go... what an idiot.

I am considering a used John Deere riding mower for trimming, and maybe being the main grass cutter since my Kubota B7510 tears up the lawn. I want to stay away from the homeowner specials that the big box stores sold as "Made by John Deere". I want the stronger frame models built more solidly...

Well, with all the issues I have with my B7510 tearing up my lawn, I am trying everything before tossing my arms up in disgust and trading it on a BX2350. What tire pressure should I use on the front (and rear for that matter) tires while mowing? I keep them aired up when using the loader...

That says it all. I'd appreciate input from those who have "downgraded" or those who have a BX. I am sick and tired of my B7510 tearing the snot out of my yard when turning. I am not that exstatic on the mowing results I recieve with the MMM, either. I have been looking for a nice used lawn...

Simple as that. My B7510 is just tearing up my lawn when turning, and I'm about fed up with it. My last B7500 did the same thing, so when I bought this B7510, I got the round-edged front tires with the combination chevron/turf rears. I figured the round-edge fronts would solve the problem...

We have a severe problem with blackbirds. I think they are grackles, in particular. They are the large blackbirds with bluish-green heads and yellow eyes. They seem to like roosting and nesting in our bordering blue spruces that are close to thirty feet high. The problem is that they have...

How often do you guys change, not clean, your air filters? I am pretty ****, and usually, I clean the air filter, radiator screen, and grille after each time I mow. I usually blow compressed air through the air filter from the inside out, but I was reading somewhere that it is not good to do...

I read the past posts regarding the float position on the loader control valves and how the buckets dig in and raise the tractors uyp when going forward, but I have a different problem... I have always been able to slightly tilt my bucket to scrape snow off the driveway in the float position...

Anybody bought one? Or seen one? I went from a B7500 last year to a B7510, and at that time considered going from the 60 MMM (ground contact) to the 54" MMM (suspended). The dealer talked me out of it. I always wished I had the suspended style MMM like the BX runs just because of how bumpy...

New tractor and obviously new tires. Pulled her outta 'da barn. Front tire flat. 20 Hours on her boots. Mostly Mowing. No holes or foriegn objects found. Pumped 'er up. No leaks or loss of air in 12 hours. What 'da !@#$%? Could I have torqued the sidewall when turning using the...

I see that larger Kubotas, and most all John Deere front-end loaders are attached to the main booms with a set up that allows the bucket to "articulate", if that is correct. My B7510 is held by the main pin to each boom, and then the cylinders come down to the top of the bucket. Nothing fancy...

Well, to muddy the waters further, Henro was kind enough to provide me with some info on his toothbar from H&H Manufacturing. Now THAT is a TOOTHBAR. Don't get me wrong, Markham is nice, too, but I want the "V" plate that covers the entire length of my existing cutting edge. I think it will...

Pat\'s EZ-Change - New Version VS. Old? I am sick of tearing my knuckles off when attaching my 550# concrete ballast. I think I will be purchasing Pat's EZ change, but I do not understand the difference between the original and the new versions of ths EZ Change. Please help me understand the...

So what is it? I've read so many posts here and there, I'm confused... or maybe not. I want to weld around 1/4" materials. Easily and affordably. It looks like a mig set-up is the way to go. Thinking a Hobart 175 or Miller 175 is the one. Not suer about the 135's. I have 220V available...

I really can't believe this, but yes, this happened to me. I have posted some of this information on TBN, but I've got to set the scene... so bear with me... I traded my B7500 on a new B7510. The B7510 did not come with the Bar Turf Tires I wanted, so the dealer ordered them. They came in...

I dug in under a bush last night, and curled the bucket to pop it out and all I got was a mild wowee in the digging edge of the bucket. Very suprised. Will a tooth bar help this, and where is the best place to purchase one without bending over? My use of this tooth bar is very limited, but...

Cheapest Place To Purchase Pat\'s E-Z Change? Where have you boys (and girls) found the cheapest place to purchase the EZ Change? I just about tore off my knuckles trying to muscle around my 550# ballast block last night, and I find I "chance" it without ballast just because of the difficulty...

Am I the only one who has had this problem? I posted this with my B7500 a year or two ago, and now the same problem with my new B7510. It is the clevis pin that the lift chassis pivots on just behind the reverse go pedal. Last time I had to "mark" the clevis as to the absolute minimum the...

I'm considering adding a step on my B7510 so I do not have to stretch over the MMM. My son will use it more than me, and he weighs peanuts, but I an sure that I'll put it to use. Last night I st on a 3830, and when I stepped on the first step to get in the saddle, the whole rear fender bent...

I have a Land Pride 1572 Rear Blade I used behind my B7500. It weighs a ton. Works well. Like its features. But like I said, it weighs a little more than I care to move around by hand in my barn, and it can (and has) pushed my tractor around when "biting off more than it can chew". So, I...

I just got my new B7510 with bar turfs. When I got it, the dealer had to order me a new front tire as the two fronts that came did not match. The molds were different so thatvone tire was more "flat-treaded" and slightly smaller in diameter that the ones I'd ordered. So, the new tire came...

Anyone know how to adjust this properly? Just got my B7510, and it's not working correctly. It won't return to neutral after raising it, and the quarter-inchers are like one-inchers. The manual really stinks for this adjustment, and I am too impatient to have the dealer come out to make the...

Well, to be honest, I checked all the past threads on the subject, and got dizzy and confused. I wan't to find a 3pt trailer hitch set-up that has the standard 2" receiver on it, but $200 is a little steep from NT&E. I do not have a welder (someday) so a purchase is probably my current option...

Mulching Kit For B7500/7510 60\"MMM? I've never seen or heard of one, but maybe someone has. I tried to get mulching blades before, but the dealer said my options were only the "high lift" or "standard" blades. Anyone found a mulching kit or mulching blades for this animal?

So, I contact Kubota directly about the leak down rate of my B7500/LA272 loader. They tell me 32 inches (empty) of fall in 6 hours is "Normal", and to the floor in 12 hours is also "Normal". I understand this spool valve is not precision equipment, but I think, as well as a few other dealers...

Someone Have Pic of BAR TURFS - Not R4\'s? I am thinking about bar turfs - not regular turfs or R4's on my next tractor... probably a B7510. Anybody have a picture of them and a brand and style? Thanks.

I sat on a B7510 seat yesterday and it sure beats the pants off the one I have... well my B7500 seat beats my pants compared to the new seat! The B7510, or what appears to be all of the new "B-Line" seats, seem to be more comfortable, more erect, and just nicer in general. Anybody retro a...

Strange \"Ratcheting Noise\" In Rear of B2410? After seeing my B7500, a buddy bought a B2410. This weekend, he questioned me whether or not my B7500 made a noise like his does. When he backs it up, or drives it forward, there seems to be a ratcheting sound in the rear end of his B2410 HST...

Where is the best place, or cheapest place, to buy replacement filters for a B7500, or B7510? I about fell over when my dealer told me the cost of the air filter!

I recently noticed that the dealer who sold me myy tractor installed the rear tires the wrong way. The center hub is on the wheel backwards such that the tires are way out... the hub is on the inside of the rim toward the transmission. I thought this was normal until I saw a PROPERLY set up...

I've been keeping a chipper/shredder on my wish list now for about 5 years, and now with the B7500, I've been wishing for a 3pt chipper/shredder for about three. So, if you all had to buy a chipper/shredder (3pt or not), which would you buy? Now, which one would you buy that wouldn't drain...

I appreciate all the feedback I received on my post regarding getting rid of my B7500. I researched the possibility of resolving the 10% issues I have with the B7500, because quite frankly, I love at least 90% of the tractor! So, that brought me to the first item....looking for a new set of...

I recently posted on the Kubota board about my thoughts of selling my B7500. From the various feedback, I think I may have purchased a little bit more than I really needed. The B7500 is a fabulous unit, the LA272 FEL has proved very valuable, and the 60" MMM does do a good job, except that my...

As it asks... I'm looking to liven up my grass and after airating and fertilizing, what height should prove to be most heathy for the grass? Right now I'm cutting it at 3 inches and it looks like it's at 6 inches in the breeze! I would like to cut it shorter, but am afraid it'll burn out...

Thinking \'Bout Selling the B7500 I have a B7500 that I really love, but am thinking about maybe making some changes... maybe to a different model. I wish the 60" MMM cut a better cut. It always seems like I get a rough looking cut after I am done. I do not know if it is due to the weight of...

Has anybody made a striping attachment for their mower to make those pretty alternating "light-dark-light" stripes in their yard when they mow? I have a B7500 with the 60" MMM and am thinking about a new way to do it.

Well, I don't mean to go Sissy, but wouldn't you think that after spending many grand on a tractor and attachments, you could expect the paint to stay on it? I have a LA272 loader on my B7500, and every weekend I look at the loader, there is paint literally peeling off in large flakes from the...

I was asking around the Kubota forum for tiller input and recommendations, and several pointed me to the Yanmar tillers. Does anyone know of a Yanmar dealer in the Northern Illinois to Southern Wisconsin area that might sell Yanmar tillers? Thanks.

I am looking to purchase a 3pt tiller for my Kubota B7500 and am lost. I live in Northern Illinois, and so far, all the dealers around only carry the major brands - Land Pride, Bush Hog, Kubota, Howard, etc... I was hoping to find one around $1000 or less, and they are all pushing $2000 for a...

Am I kidding myself to use a rear blade to rough grade my friends yard to prepare for seeding or sodding? I do not have a grader box, and hate to spend the $ for a one time use. Thoughts?

60\" MMM Grease Zerks I have a 60" MMM on my Kubota B7500, and wonder if anyone has the same thoughts... There are grease zerks on the top of the two outboard spindles, with an additional side zerk on the right spindle only (on the discharge side of the mower). Is my deck defective without...

Needed a little more space in the barn the other day, so I raised the LA272 loader on my B7500 Kubota. Went out to the barn two days later, and the bucket was on the floor! Whew! Glad the hood of my Shaguar (really an F-250) was not under it! Anyone had this problem before? The dealer...

I have a B7500 with only about 35 hours on it. Recently, in colder weather start-ups, I notice a hissing noise when I first start-up the tractor. After it warms up, it goes away. It sounds like its a blow-off somewhere around the engine, but I can't define it. I am used to a waste gate...

Has anyone had experience getting the fuel filter assembly out of the filter bowl on a 2002 Kubota B7500? After I screwed the bowl off the tractor, I had a hard time getting the white "disc" that the filter is attached to out of the bowl. I had to use a dental pick to pull it out, and risked...

Well, now that I'm really wrapped up in my new Bota, I figure it's about time to invest in a welder to make some of those things like carry-alls, or to add things like chain hooks, etc. Any suggestions as what to buy that is not going to drain my pocketbook? I think the tractor did that first! .

Well, after posting questions about ballast boxes, I've decided I may just make one after all, but if not, I will surely make a carryall. So...... that leads me to the question... what are the dimensions (height) for locating the top link attachment point to the ballast? How far above the...

I've read the posts on making you own ballast weight, but wonder if it's really worth the few $ savings. Does anyone have input on whether or not it is worth having a ballast box of steel filled with stone or some other ballast instead of making a solid weight? I do not have access right now...

Thought I'd post a little bit of information I've gathered on inclinometers (or tiltmeters as they are also called) in the past few weeks. I started with a meter from R&B. I did not have that good of luck. I located the smaller meter on the cover of the spool valve at the joystick base on my...

After mowing about 1 to 1-1/2 hours with my B7500, I have noticed that the spool valve and the transaxle get really hot... hot enough that you cannot put your hand on them. My dealer checked it out this weekend... no burning fluid, no pinched hoses, no low fluid, no operational problem. Has...

Does anybody have an Idea what an Allis Chalmers 310 with a 42" MMM and a 42" single stage snowblower is worth? It was made in about 1970 or so. Mint condition. New bearings, belts, and sheaves on mower deck and snowblower. Excellent mechanical condition. Looks great. 98% original. Should...

I understand that tiltmeters are not for everybody on TBN as viewed on the past posts, but I just have to tell everybody that I purchased one last week to put on my B7500 for security. I have a ditch to mow, and endless projects that always seem to make me a little uncomforable on my tractor...

Can a registered user change their username without losing "credit" for their past posts? It's just that over the past few weeks of spending time on TBN, I've seen more interesting usernames, and wish I had not gone with such a generic!

Now that I've replaced my Allis 310 garden tractor with a new B7500, I'm having to "re-learn" how to mow my ditch. Before, I had to hang my kiester off the seat on the 310 to mow, but on a B7500 it's a little hard to do. My Dad mows his ditch of comparable slope with a 245DT wih no problem, but...

Well, I guess the question is... To guard a grille, or not. My dealer has tried to talk me out of a grille guard for my new B7500, but I'm not so sure. Although the loader adds a nice tubular bumber in front, I think I'd like a little added protection. What has experience taught all of you? Is...

Well Boys, I could not stand to wait for delivery until Saturday afternoon, so I went and picked up my Kubota B7500 with a 60" MMM, and the LA272 FEL myself. After logging only 5 hours in the saddle, I do have to say I do not regret passing up the BX2200. I only wish my pocketbook wanted the...

Maybe it is common knowledge among tractor owners, but for a guy who just purchased his first compact tractor with a FEL, I could have made what appears to be an expensive mistake. It seems that Kubota, for the most part, is including a three port valve with their joystick controllers for their...

Can anyone giveme some input? I have narrowed my search down to the B7500 and the BX2200, but am a little unsure which way to go. I have about two flat acres to mow currently, but have intentions of moving to at least four within the next couple of years. Is the B7500 that much harder to...
