Compare... B7610 Kubato to TC 30

fctadam · Feb 13, 2004

How would these two compare? The Kubota seems too priced higher, but has less horsepower, are we paying for bells and whistles? It has the hydro shift which isn't a big deal to me. How do they stack up with FEL lifting weights, and 3pt hitch power?

Is there a comparison between the two?

I looked at, and almost purchased a B7610 this summer, I ended up buying a NH TC24D. Both are 24hp tractors. The TC24D versus the B7610 might be a more likely apples to apples match up in features, hp, etc.

I think you are comparing apples to oranges with the B7610 versus TC 30 comparision.

The TC30 is a basic workhorse and is value priced, it is a class II tractor, it is very capable and very cost effective.

The B6710 is a decked out machine with lots of little whistles and bells that add up to extra cost.

Are you looking for features or are you looking for a cost effective workhorse?

adam ... these machines are not comparable.

The best match for a B7610 is a TC24.
The best match for a TC30 is a B7800. [A B2910 is a luxury edition B7800 that will add a price difference between the TC30 but the B7800 and TC30 are evenly matched 'econo' models.]

Bob the 7610 was just introduced this fall and the first to the dealers was in December. You must have been looking at the 2410.

Thanks guy's

I'm looking for more of a work hourse with more engine, FEL, and 3 pt power.

art, that could be, I bought in June. I looked at the TC21D and the TC24D and tried to do apple to apple with Kubota. I might be confused on the Kubota numbers from this past summer. I've been back to the Kubota dealer twice since, but not bothered looking at the new stuff, I needed Cub and Kubota parts from him for other stuff.

The B7610 is not decked out with bells and whistles. It's being sold as a value tractor. It's the value version of the 2410, as the B7800 is the value version of the 2910.

Compared to the 2410, the 7610 has less 3ph capacity, quarter inching valve instead of position control, basic steering wheel, etc. It is the same engine and drivetrain as the 2410, though, and same frame. There are also some very minor trim differences.

I believe the 2410 is the most direct comparison with the TC24, not the 7610. B2410 - TC24 is a comparison of deluxe-featured tractors.
