kubota b7800

As I said in yesterdays post, I was going to visit my local dealer during his open house to see if his interest in bargaining would be any better than my previous visits. I told him I had been shopping and that his earlier prices were higher than a dealer 90 mies west of here. we got to talking...

Well, after about 6 wks waiting, my B7800 was delivered yesterday morning. My dealer must have started from Pittsford, Vt. by about 5:00a.m., because he showed up in front of my house a bit after 8:00. There it was, on a very large flatbed w/ a Santa's bag of implements: Here's the summary...

I just put a downpayment on a DX29 and the dealer called 2 hours later and said he can't get one till July or August. So he offered me a Kubota B7800HSD loaded the same way for $1,ooo.oo less.Does this sound like a good deal? or am I being taken?

Hello all, I am about to purchase my first tractor ever and after extensive research and looking I've pretty much decided on a Kubota B7800HSD. I'd be getting it with the LA402 FEL to start, mainly for snow removal around my house to start with. I have 30 mostly open but hilly acres in the...

Hey guys, Can you give me the #'s of the wheel spacers so I can put chains on the rear of a B7800? Thanks in advance

Hey all, I'm new to this site, but have already found a wealth of info. I'm hoping y'all can help me with my buying decision. I have been looking at a few different tractors, all new. Kubota 3000DT w/Woods 60" loader $14200. Kubota B7800HSD w/LA402FL $15200. CaseIH D29 w/L130 loader. $15,590...

As my background is in high performance vehicles, I am interested in seeing who can come up with the best idea for a K&N style air filter and air box for the Kubota B series tractor. The stock air filter gets dirty fast and the air box and filter leave a lot to be desired as far as air flow...

I am going to buy one of the two Kubota tractors. I read the specs and the only difference seems to be cruise control and the seat. I have a bad back and ankle and will be snow blowing a half mile driveway. Any imput on which of the 2 tractors would work best for me. Thanks, Kenta

Does the hour meter start when the engine is running or does the tractor need to be driven to make it register? I did a job that took me four hours today, but the hour meter only registered three hours.

Through the years I have restored several military vehicles, along with several civilian Jeeps and other four wheel drive vehicles. One thing I noticed about the military vehicles was the front and rear axles, transfer case and transmission vents were always connected together and vented to the...

Hi folks, It was -38 on my thermometer this morning at 5 am. So I am typing kinda slowly. I wanted to clarify my choice of the B7500, because so many of you had commented that the b7800 was a better choice. If I had only the one rig I would agree whole heartedly. My main use of this...

my property has 3.69 acres that is very flat with little obsticles and I would like to go with the b7800 but I was wondering if that would be a problem considering that we have a septic tank would the wieght of the tractor be to much. I am also plnning on building a barn to accomidate a horse...

Opinions please! I have Just traded a JD4700 with FEL and JD48 Backhoe for an M6800 with FEL. I needed a Bigger tractor. The dealer has given me an opportunity(as a multiple purchase) to trade my JD2210 with FEL and 54MMM for a B-7500 FEL and 54MMM. I need the smaller deck due to the very...

Has anyone experience failure of the back seat switch on the kubota b7800 and malfunction of the fuel gage. The guage works however the only time it is acurate is when it is full from then on its look in the tank. Mine will not start at all by seting on the seat., however all I have to do is...

I have a new B7800 with 13 hours on it and a question. While traveling on a dirt bumpy road, I notice the front wheels rock back and forth like the steering gear is worn out. I tried to move the wheels left and right by hand with the tractor sitting still, but they are tight. Why is there so...

B7800 RPM \"sweet spot.\" All diesel engines seem to have a RPM that they run and develop the best usable torque at. Does anyone know what that RPM is on the B7800 engine? I'm talking about usable RPM while working the tractor. Not maximum torque at full throttle.

I just received a set of tire chains for my B7800 with 13.6-16 turf tires. It looks to me that the sheet metal wheel well / fender is too close to the tires to allow the chains to be mounted. There's only about an inch between the inner side wall and the fenders. The chains would surely hit...

I was at my Kubota dealer today and the service manager showed me a 2003 B7800 with 672 hours on it owned by a construction company. The transmission was split in half just forward of where the rear axle case bolts up to the middle section of the trans. He believes it was operator abuse with the...

What do you think about $14500 for the B7800, turfs and 60" mmm? I've looked at darn near everything, almost bought the AGCO ST30 but I keep coming back to Kubota. Thought the B7500 would be enough, and it would, but I just drove a B7800...me likes B7800

As a soon-to-buy guy, this question is whether there is any reason to spend the little bit more money to get a B7800 with a mid-PTO if one will never use a MMM? Everthing I currently plan to do with the tractor will be accomplished with FEL, backhoe, bush hog, box scraper, and post hole...

Would anybody have the over all lenght from the cutting edge of the bucket on fel,to the 3pth setup on B7800??..thanks. 30F..Over cast sky.

I am interested in buying a subcompact or compact tractor. However the dealers that I have talked to cannot explain two question. (1) Why is the BX2230 at 22HP run at 3200 RPM and the B7800 at the same HP run only at 2600 RPM? and (2) How can you measure the torque of a motor so a person can...

I been keeping my eye on the new B7800 w/fel,and listening also reading about the pros & cons,soooo would it be wise to think about purchasing this year or next year since since its new to the market? What are your likes? What are your dislikes? Thanks.

Greetings, First, thanks to everyone, who provides such useful information in this and other forums. Surfing, I found this site invaluable in assessing my options for upgrading my tractor. I've joined in the hope that I might, eventually, be able to help someone else in their decision making...

does anyone know where i could find info and possibly schematics of starter system(including kill switches). 7800 won't start. tried jumping solenoid contacts, did get it started once by pulling it a few feet and then tried it and it fired right up. but that was the only time. cleaned all the...

Was out moving some rocks for a retaining wall today and I noticed that my B7800 was pulling to the left when I let go of the wheel. Didn't matter if the bucket was loaded or not. I never noticed this before - maybe it's always done it, but is there anything I should check out? Already checked...

Hi All, I have been lurking for a few days and this is my first post. Having suffered with my grandfather's 1938 Ford 9n for a decade or more and also having owned (for a time) a Case 580ck with lots of black smoke and leaky hydraulics, I am on the verge of buying a nicer tractor. I am...

Any ideas about how deep of H2o I can run in? I keep playing around in the pond. Getting deeper and deeper, then I read about draining the clutch after washing. Are these things amphibious?

I'm in the process of buying a B7800 and cannot find any reference to its height in any of the literature or website. I have a shed with 85 inches of clearance that I plan to keep it in but am not sure whether this will be enough with the ROPS. If anyone can tell me what the height of the...

What\'s the diffents of L3000DT and B7800? Hi, What make these two tractors diffient from each other? My local dealer cann't sell the L3000DT for some reason. He said people don't want this model for some reason. He has sold all his B7800's tractors. I might be buying L3000DT tractor from him...

I went shopping prices for the B7800 and B2910. The best price that I could come with was $17,900 for the B7800 with a loader (LA402) and the kubota 72" mmm. The B2910 was $1,000 more. Also, is the only difference between the two a nicer seat, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, and...

I have a b7800 4wd,hydro 30 HP diesel and want to cut hay and use a hay bailer. Any thoughts are ideas?

I just tryed to remove my BH and cant seem to get the top pin out... when trying to remove it the pin hits on the 3pt arms???? anyone have any suggestions? also do I extend the hoe all the way out or do I keep it close to the tractor? thanks

I have a B7800 with loader and box blade. I am interested in having chain hooks welded on the bucket for dragging logs etc. I would appreciate some members posting pictures of theirs to see how they are welded on etc. I don't know whether to use non slip chain hooks and not sure how many and...

Hello All. My B7800 has 40 hours and I've encountered a minor problem, but it is annoying. When I lower my FEL the control stick sticks in the lower position and requires me to lightly pull up on it to get it back to the neutral position. It doesn't require alot of force to get it back to...

What size box blade for a Kubota B7800 with unloaded turf tires Also the size of a rake and rear blade

I have been lurking on these boards for about 3 years and have finally bought a B7800. The tractors is going to take 2-8 weeks for the dealer to get. I have 2 questions that i need help with #1: Belly mower or RFM #2: Should i have the tires filled for the loader? B7800...

Hi, I need a price on both of these tractors and they both will have no hydrostat and have AG tires and also will be 4X4's. Thanks, John.

I am currently thinking of switching colors and I have one little question on the B7800. Does the hydrostat have some type of "cruise control" as the B2710/2910 have? If so how well does it work? Thanks to all for any help

Trying to decide on the right tractor is killing me!! I had a 2001 B7500 when I lived in the country 2 years ago, so I am very familiar with that machine. But the price on a BX22, is so tempting that I can't figure out which one to buy!! I will mostly be doing finish mowing about 1.5-2 acres...

I'm new this to forum, been lurking, but this is my first post. My experience is limited, I currenty own a small JD lawn tractor - So her go's - I have about 7 acress of land (mostly wooded) and one of my future projects would be trying to turn about one area of woods into lawn. This would...

I am a proud new owner of a B7800 w/loader. I have a ditch in front of my property that runs parallel with the road. The ditch is 1' - 2' below the road. I would like to remove some of the soft dirt/sand from the ditch. What would be the safest way to do this? I was thinking about getting...

Just delivered an hour ago. I was getting worried because they were having problems installing the engine block heater. Just as I gave up hope for today, the salesman drove in with her! Here's the front view.

Yesterday my brand new B7800 w/402FEL, 60"mmm, and 5'box was delivered! I purchased from Wright's Kubota in Athens, AL. No other dealer would get close to their price. Very good dealership, highly recommended! I used the 0%/36 month financing. There was no $130 charge to do this like others...

I'm new here (my first post) and already ready to take the plunge. Visited a local K dealer here in Northern California and came away with the idea that there's not much wiggle room if any in pricing new K's. $24185 for the tractor, a big FEL, rear mower, backhoe, and box scraper. In Calif, I...

One of the mechanics told me at the local Kubota shop that on a B7800 when lowering or raising the belly mower (mid PTO) the rear implement would rise also, vise versa for lowering. I am kinda confused by this. So if you want to leave your mmm on and want to use a box, tiller, etc on the rear...

What is the largest size landscaping box I can get for a B7800, 5', 6'? Thanks!

B7800 MMM 60\" vs 72\" I am getting ready to purchase a B7800 with 60"mmm. I've read a few posts about the 72" and just curious which is easier to install and remove? How long for each? Any other comments would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if this has been covered before.

Comparing prices, it looks like these two are about the same so why would you go with the 2410 if you need some added horsepower, weight, and loader and backhoe capacity? Does the 7800 not have postioning control or just the 1/4" adjustment? What about the 3 point hitch adjustments between the...

Just start looking at these two. Has anyone else got down to these two models and compared them closely. Primarily looking at price at this point. Was going to go with smaller B7500 or similar but for a few thousand more will probably need something a little bigger with backhoe and any...

I can't believe I'm about to do this. My local dealer, only a mile up the road (how's that for convenience), can't keep much in stock. He located a B7800 at another dealer not too far away and is trading to bring it in. It is being offered with the FEL, folding ROPS, R4 tires, and mid-PTO for...

After researching tractors I am leaning towards the B7800 w/FEL. My property has some steep slopes - 25-35 degree pitch - which need fences, clearing of trees, brush... and eventually mowing for pastures. I have spoke with several dealers about which tires are best for hills and received...

How does the 4WD work on this tractor? Should the tractor be locked into 4WD all the time? Thanks!

Im looking for the Height of a B7800 Kubota 4wd with industrial tires. Looking for height with foldable ROPS, up and Folded if anyone knows...Thanks

I see so many posts about how wonderful the mid-mount mowers operate, and a wonderful job they do. Is anyone having the same luck with the rear finish mowers? I hear how well the MMMs do in "thick wet" grass. If the grass/weeds are over 12" tall, would I still get the same quality? The...

Called around here in North AL to a few places for a B7800,FEL,60"MMM. First three quotes $17,900, $18,200, $17,600. The fourth quote was $16,400! I am thinking this may be too good to be true. I guess it pays to shop around.

How hard is it to remove and install the belly mower on a B7800? Any pros or cons? (60" width) Thanks

Hello to all. I am totally new to this wonderful site. Started "lurking" yesterday after being referred from another site that I was getting info on. Here's my situation: 19 acres (16 rented out for farming). The other 3 acres I have 2 horses on with 54 x 30 barn, good sized vegetable...

Hello My understanding is that there are some slight differences between the folding and non-folding ROPS B7800's. Besides the ROPS and the mid-mount PTO is there anything else? I saw mention of cruise control as well. Can anyone confirm these differences? Ben

I am new to the tractor thing and am interested in a new Bota. Looking at the B7800 or B2710. What are the differences? I will be using to mow 4 acres, and some landscaping. THANKS!

I'm a month or two away from buying and have been trying to decide what the best option will be. I have 7 acres of flat land that I will be maintaining. I will be finishing mowing all 7 acres and have some other small building and landscaping projects in mind. So, I have been looking at the...

I'm close to purchasing a new tractor. Current use would be for 100% finish mowing with a FEL & other attachments coming in a few years. I had decided on the B7800HST w/ turf tires (worried about tearing up the grass) after comparing the spec's between the B7500HST & the B7800HST. Just...

Down to the wire on buying a rental return. Gentlemans farm with 4H steers, horses, and goats. Pasture needs mowing (7 acres on a 15 acre parcel some hills), fire clearance, postholes dug, stalls cleaned, manure moved and some light grading. I like the size of the 7800 and 2910 but see only...

Decided to go with the B7800 and received an intitial price of $11,700 for Turf tires and hydrastatic drive. I'm considering a FEL (LA402) which they quoted for $2950 with a 4 position valve. Still waiting to hear back from a few other dealer in our area. What kind of price should a be...

Not sure which tractor to get. Currently have a Kubota B6200 16 hp and just replaced our Woods RM59 finish mower with a Bush Hog RDTH60 rear discharge mower. The problem with the new mowing deck is that it weighs much more than the Woods and when mowing on a slope it takes my whole backend...

I currently own a kubota b7500 and was thinking of upgrading to a 7800 or a 2910. I want to upgrade because I need more tractor to pull my manure spreader. My 7500 is very stable on the hilly terain that I own. I was wondering if the 7800 0r 2910 would be more prone to rollover. The center...

Hi All, Took delivery yesterday. Delivery was right on time and setup training was very helpful. Still haven't tried taking off the FEL or RDM myself, but in my mind it seems easy. Mowed my yard in record time and was able to get in the tight spots by lifting the mower, backing in then...

Well, it's been 6 weeks of anticipation, but I called today and they will be delivering on Saturday. The hold up has been a FEL. The dealer, here in Syracuse NY, had to go to PA to pick up three because Kubota is out of them. This doesn't sound good for anyone waiting, but to those, "I feel...

OK, I let my brother borrow my b7800 w/ 16.2 hrs on it to move a little dirt....it came back with 18.5 hrs and left my brother wondering....and since i don't mow w/ it I had no answer. For a 72" finish mower, which do people like MM or rear? Can you mow in high, or only medium? Thanks, Michael

Hello I am posting this in this forum as I would like opinions of existing owners. I thought I would ping all you 7800/2910/3130 owners for your opinions on your tractors. I am looking at purchasing a 3130 or 7800 myself and have not been able to reconcile what I want. I own 4 acres of...

6\' mower for B7800,2910,2710 I have another question about the 7800 or 2910 or 2710. I am looking to get the 6’ belly mower and need to know the width of it. I found the overall width and need to know what the width is with the side discharge lifted. I have a 77” trailer and need to know if it...

I am going to get a B7800 and am also going to get a backhoe. Based on the size of the B7800 do you think I should get a backhoe with a sub frame or the standard Kubota backhoe that attaches to the three point hitch? The Kubota dealer said I didn't need a sub frame with a tractor as large as the...

I am thinking about getting a Kubota B7800 and am looking at a roll over. I was wanting to know what size to get. I am leaning toward a 5'. A 5' weights about 630 lbs, so weight is not an issue. Can the 7800 pull it without bogging down? If not what about a 54" or 48"? I don't want to limit the...

I have about 14 hours on my B7800 and this last tank of gas the gauge is reading full all the time while on.I have been using a plastic 2 handle blitz can to fill the tank with a short drain, wide mouth funnel. When the machine is off the gauge reads empty. Then when I start the machine it goes...

Hello Does nayone know the height of the B7800 w/ rigid ROPS? Ben

I'm not very familiar with the Kubota B series tractors.. I have an L myself.. but my brother is considering a Kubota and asked me what the difference was between the B2910 and the B7800. They look almost identical and the specs on the two are very similar.. although, he says, the 7800 is much...

Hello All I may be a bit ignorant, but could someone help me figure out what the difference between the Kubota B2910 and B7800 is? The specs make it look like the same tractor. Thanks! Ben

Trying to decide between kubota 7800 with fel,4'box blade,57 inch tiller,brush hog, for 19,600 out the door or TC24 with same implements for 18.000 out the door. The 24 has the same height reach on the front loader with smaller bucket then the 60 incher on the 7800, the 24 weighs in at just a...

I know this is more like owning and operating, but to me it applies to anyone purchasing a tractor, so I posted here. OK, the only thing I see in the manual is to not operate the Tractor at Full Speed for the First 50 Hours.... What does this mean? Not to run the motor at 2600 rpm ? Or don't...

I'm so excited, it should be home in about 1/2 and hour! B7800 w/ FEL more info later, I'm to excited to sit here and type! Michael

Ok, I'm about to pull the trigger on a B7800 w/ the 402 54" FEL. I've heard the 54" is a little tougher than the 60". We have 12 acres, some brush hogging to do (some of which is in the trees), some acres to put into grass, and a 100x200' sand horse riding arena w/ dirt base. I'm looking at...

Hello All, great community here, what a source of info. As I said I just put an order in for a B7800 with folding ROPS, Turf Tires, LA-402 FEL 60", 60" Rear Discharge Bush Hog, Allied 60" Rear Blower (Live in Syracuse NY had 148" this year and we were 50" off the record), rear chains and block...

Well finally I made the move. For a while I thought I would never know what I wanted. I will be finalizing my property purchase April 9th and will also take home my new b7800. I ordered it with the 402 Fel to fill the many holes left behind by the previous nursery tree owner. I also have the 72"...

We are evaluating a B7800 or B2910 versus the L3130. The decision was pretty well made for the B7800 until we realized that the B7800 with options or the B2910 was only about a $1,000 less than the L3130 which SEEMS to be a lot more tractor. The B7800 seems like a great machine but I am...

When I went to my local dealer they have a couple of 7800s. They didn't have any brochures on them though & in my blissful daze wandering the lot,I managed to forget some important questions.I have looked on the k site as well as dealer sites & can't find the info I'm wanting. How much does the...

Just getting some input on these prices. B7800 with 402 FEL $14,600.00 and a Woods 7500 hoe $5,200.00 (with the 4 point subframe) $19,800.00. Seems this in the ballpark from all the info I can gather. Whats your opinion? Thanks for the response.

After narrowing down the tractor I would like to buy here are some prices I was given, L3130 4WD Glide shift 72” FEL, AG tires $17,900 No tax He also wanted another $7500 for a Bradco 7 FT Backhoe subframe I am not into the Bradco. The next tractor I was quoted on was a B7800 with a...

Can anyone recommend size of plow not middle buster for B7800/B2910. Need a plow to use in garden and also wildlife plots. would the 7800/2920 handle a 12 or 14? [/list]

Hi, I made a quick stop at my local Kubota dealers today to look around. Still lots of snow on the ground, but most of the tractors were accessible. I finally saw a B7800. Real nice. Just from initial appearance it might be hard for some to justify the $2000 price difference between it and...

Its a done deal. Finally made a decision on new Kubota. It was not a easy decision, however finally decided on the B7800HSD. I could only find a few things different on the 7800 compared to the 2910. Tele steering wheel, seat, headlights, 3point hitch is 1/4 inch Increments instead of the...

I have begun my quest to purchase a tractor. I was looking into the L2600. After posting about the price I was quoted, I am begining to look at other machines. At first I was leaning on the B7500 on Sat morning. After going outside at the dealers shop to look at the AG tires I saw the L2600...

Well, these two machines are now the most comparable between blue and orange imo .... Anyone care to comment on their comparison?
