Is the B7500 as powerfull as everyone says they are? I'm about 95% sure that's what I want.I've read alot of quotes from here and it seems like everyone is very happy with theirs.I will have to make my final decision in a day or two to make sure I get the low interest rate which goes off at the end of the month. Fill me in some more and help me make my decision.
I will be using it for some landscaping around the house and bush hogging about 1/3 of an acre. Other than that just something to play with.
Thanks, Donny

Don716, The B7500 will be more than enough tractor for what you want to use it for. It handles a 4ft. brush hog with ease & for fel work, I've never ran out of power. Believe me, the B7500 is a workhorse, well worth the money.

Donny,
From the limited information in your post, I would say that with 95% accuracy the B7500 will do all that you need it to do. Any upgrade to a more powerful tractor will simply mean getting the job accomplished quicker.

Are you getting a finish mower?

If I had a finish mower, I don't believe that I would purchase a rotary mower (bush hog) just to mow 1/3 of an acre. With a 60" finish mower (mid or rear mount) on your B7500 it would take about 20 minutes (or less) to mow that 1/3 acre.

Good Luck,
Kelvin

I would tend to agree...if the ground can be improved enough to run a finish mower over it. I have two acres I am trying to improve, and bought a rotary cutter just because it was the only way to start improving it... When it is all over, there will still probably be some parts that I will brush hog a couple times a year, but hopefully there will also be some parts that grows grass well and the finish mower will do the work there... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Sure seems like a third acre could be made smooth pretty easily...good project for a toothbar on the loader and a box blade on the back...both can be purchased for about the same amount as a low end rotary cutter... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Gunnahafta,
Is the one you have a 7500 HST ? How many hours on it?

Donny,

Yes, it's the B7500HSD with about 90 hours on it. One thing about moving all this stone is that it really has done a number on my R4 tires. A few of the treads have big chunks hanging loose /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif.

I do have a toothbar, though it took a long time for my dealer to get it to me. Loading the bucket without it took a lot of practice to get a decent technique.

Luckily, I've done most of the rock moving and will be moving into firewood moving and landscaping next (not to mention snow removal this winter, YIKES). I do look forward to my seat time, though (or my Kubota Therapy as my wife calls it!)
