B7610 replacement coming?

jim_wilson · Aug 28, 2007

I was at my local Kubota dealer the other day and I was looking at the B7610 they had in their showroom (every now and then I think I should have gone a little bit bigger when I got my BX23) - well the salesman said that there is a 7610 replacement coming shortly - like in the next couple of months. I did some quick searching here on TBN and couldn't find any threads - has anybody else heard about this?

Anybody got any pictures?

Yes, I heard that as well. From what I have heard, the "new" 7610 will have the quick disconnect BH like the BX24. Rumored to be the BH65. Sounds about right. This would be a step up from the BX24 and right in between that and the B3030. Perfect for us who like the BX24 but want a bit more in the way of digging with the BH.

Too late for me, but it would be awfully nice if the 7610 replacement had Position Control. It would ice the cake. Any word on that?

As one who put 325 hours on mine, I would say the only things that tractor needs are:

1. Position Control
2. Hydrostatic Power Steering
3. A Suspension seat

Other (less necessary) plusses would be B3030 style lower links and a three range tranny. Round headlights and a cup holder would gild the lily very nicely as well.

Keep the clutch. Keep the exact same silky smooth 3 banger. Keep the beefy MMM without cheesy plastic pulley covers. Oh yea, and don't raise the price!

If that is true then I may be looking at trading in my BX23 - a tractor the size and with the capacities of the B7610 was what I was really looking for when I got my BX23 - but the subframe mounted backhoes that were available were a deal killer for me - with the subframe backhoe the 7610 had less ground clearance than the BX. And I don't need a tractor the size of the B3030 - too big for my uses.

My dealer said that it would be out in a couple of months - guess I will have to keep checking to see what shows up.

Come on Neil,
How awesome is it? SHould me and the boys hold off on the BX24s

Danilo · Sep 8, 2007

I would most certainly hold off on the BX24. I bought mine last year. I hope to trade it up for the new "7610" or whatever they call it. If the size is the issue, I would still hold off. There is word of an all new BX comming with 26hp and more pump flow. My dealer said it will have all the kinks out of it by the time it hits the dealers. The next few months will tell.

They decided to make a few more changes to this one, its going to be a long while before it ships.
