B7800 is HERE

Hank · Dec 19, 2002

Well, it's in the state anyway (AZ). Today they told me it has finally arrived from the LA dock strike. It's at the company's Mesa store, still in a crate, has to be assembled and outfitted to my specs, and I should have it within two weeks. Cannot wait!! There are many projects already lined up on the property.

Once I get a final price I will post (I don't have much choice, Bingham Equipment is the only dealer in southern AZ, but they are an excellent dealer, and that's the best half of the equation).

I went to Kubota's web site, can't find a B7800. Is this a new
model not yet officially introduced???

Not so long Thomas! Hey your delivery could get there actually before I get my machine.

Gunfighter, yes this is a new model. Check out Carver's web site for details. It's a B model, 30HP HST, but with a few less frills. The savings over the B29 will give me some nice extras for the same money. Basically the same frame/machine as the B27/B29, same engine as the B29, I think.

I almost wish snow was on the list, Frank. Rocks is more like it.

Stopped by the dealer today. They have a B7800 in stock. I was able to get a good look at it. From the side it looks just like my 2910. The seat area and 3PH are where all the differences are. I was able to take some pictures. The picture attached to this post is of the seat.

This picture is of 3PH control. This is where I saw the biggest change. 3PH position is very similar to a B7500. But works in ¼” increments. I was not able to see it in operation because the dealership became very busy at the time I was there. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif
B7800 are in Michigan. Shouldn’t be long before they make it to NH. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif
