B7500 price vs. 4110

[Anonymous Poster]

I was swayed by the price of the B7500 I bought. It came to $14,300 with the 5ft midmower and 302 loader, hydro, R4 tires loaded. The Deere 4110 was $17,490. The dealer threw in a can of kubota paint, and a carhartt jacket for my son and two hats. I need to see why sometimes I seem to be short on downpressure with the loader ( most times it will hoist the front tires in the air at idle) I have only 5 hours on it so I will watch and let the dealer know.

Hi,

I am not sure if this is the problem you are having, but I've noticed on my 7500 if I pull back on the 3pt lift lever to lift an attachment, sometimes it does not go back to the neutral position on its own once the 3pt is fully raised. In this condition, my loader will not have any down pressure and will only 'float' down. The loader lift and bucket curl/dump operations are not effected, though.

Look through recent threads, Kubmechanic recently addressed this, if the 3-point unloading valve is actuated by the 3-point being at it's max limits it will rob hydrualic pressure. He seemed to think in such cases that an adjustment needs to be made to prevent the 3-point from lifting quite so high. Sorry Kubmechanic if I did not get it exactly right but it certainly made sense. He even gave a quick diagnostic test--watch and see if the tachometer returns to the same reading after the 3-point maxes out. It should, if it does not then the valve is not operating properly or something like that. J

If I'm remembering right the 7500 does'nt have position control. It just kicks the lever back to neutral once the hitch max's out. If it's not, then that should be adjusted. Another thing you might check is the position of your bucket. If it's flat on the ground you wo'nt get any front end lift, but the more you angle it down the more lift you will have. Also if you have an impliment on the back it may prevent the loader from lifting the front if the impliment is on the ground.......Tres same thing but just a little different.
