Pros
4WD - Gives the pulling power and traction of a larger tractor in a compact size.
Power Steering - makes long hours behind the wheel comfortable.
Tractor Feel - not the feel of a big tractor but not the feel of a garden tractor…just right.
R-4’s - give good traction in the sand but doesn’t hurt my grass.
Plenty of Power - tires spin before I run out of power.
Easy on and off the tractor with the flat deck
Ground Clearance!!! This is huge for me and my property. I would have been very disappointed with anything less that what the B7500 gives me.
Handles my 60" nearly 600lb finish mower with no problems. I cut the grass at less than the 2600 rated rpms for a 540 PTO.
Cons
Does not always shift into H or L from Neutral. You have to play with the accelerator. The owners manual refers to this problem. You would think that they could figure out how to solve this. It is a pain.
The owners manual for my $39 Timex watch is more comprehensive than this high dollar tractor’s operator manual.
Checking oil is a daily event. The dipstick is difficult to reach if you don’t take off the engine side cover. I can’t imagine removing this every time you check the oil. Over time the fasteners are going to loosen up and or break. Dipstick should be accessible without removing anything.
Don’t particularly like the HST pedal arrangement. Forward is fine but I still have to feel my way to find the reverse pedal. It should be right there. Also, I have caught my pants leg on the rear pedal on more than one occasion.
Front axle hubs have a "shelf" around them. A great place for dirt, and grit to accumulate and cause front seal leaks. My Kubota dealer told me this is a common problem with this design.
There is a rattling noise under there somewhere. Hopefully I can find it.
