Bought a B7510

Lefte · Jul 8, 2013

Hello All,
I just purchased a used (almost new, 50 hours) B7510 HSD and am having it delivered in one week. It was owned by my father in law and he takes excellent care of everything he owns. I am curious what accessories it has and where I would go to look/purchase those items. Right now thinking of a mower deck and snow thrower. I am mechanically inclined but have never owned anything other than a riding mower and a 4 wheeler that I've worked on.

Any tips other that RTB (read the book)

Thanks for the answers!

Like all modern tractors, the 7510 has a start interlock on the pto lever. Be sure that lever is in the OFF position before trying to start.
The 3 point hitch has Kubota's "inching" system (which I do not like--my first tractor was a 2005 B7510HSD). Read the manual and experiment with the 3pt to get the feel of this feature.

Good luck.

The B7510 is a perfectly capable machine to have around a house. You got one that is practically brand new. Change all fluids and filters to statr with and enjoy the ride. If you are looking to mow a 2-4 acre yard (or more) and keep your driveway clear of snow (you mentioned a snowblower) you will be perfectly happy with it. I had one for a few years and it was a flawless tractor. You didn't mention if you are getting a loader with the tractor. Don't let people tell you the quarter inching valve is no good. I have been using them on two different tractors for over six years and it works fine.
