Price Check Kubota B7500

[DEK]

I'm considering buying a 2002 Kubota B7500 with 302 FEL, MMM, hydro trans, and Curtis cab with heater. It has 138 hours and turf tires. A private owner has it for sale and will take $10.1K. It also includes a 5' back blade. Any opinions on this tractor and deal? Thanks.

Offer him $9500 and see if he'll take it. Sounds like a good deal to me provided it's in good shape.

I would say a pretty good deal. I swapped in my B7500DT a year and a half ago and got 8500 in "trade" for it. but it was gear not hydro and no cab, more hours, no blade, and R4 tires and the smaller loader LA272.. so I would say yes, good deal, grab it.

Thanks for the quick replies. I'm assuming you think this is a good tractor? Is there anything I should check or look for when I inspect it? Has the B7500 got a good reputation with few if any repair issues? Reports I read say it is a good little workhorse for 21 HP and pretty stable on it's tires also. Any other info anyone can provide?

Pretty decent little tractor, I traded mine because I wanted hydro, and a little bigger tractor, But don't discount them, they will do a lot. I didn't have any trouble with mine at all. 2002 model, even had original battery in it when traded in 2010. Still started and run every time.

In Ct that tractor would sell for that today no problem !

Look at it - Make up your mind.

At 138 hours it is pretty much new assuming the services were done close to schedule.

Nice tractor, I had the 7510 for a couple of years. It never let me down.

Cheers,

I bought a used B7500 in the summer of 2010 . It has been a great tractor I use it to mow the lawn , push snow , till the garden , and a endless list of chores with the Fel .

I bought mine with 440 hours and have put another 120 on it since I have owned it . They only thing I have done is routine maintenance ( motor oil , blow out the air filter , and change the fuel filter ) .

Price sounds like a good deal .

I would say it is a really good price for my area. I had a B7510 and it was great machine. Check for general condition and ask about the maintenance that done. The hours (138) is so low that it should be a rather short list. If you are going to move snow get chains for the rears. You didn't say what you plan on doing with the machine.

My B7500 is a 2003, still has original battery also. Maintenence (which I do myself) has consisted of the 50 hour service, oil and filter change every year, and coolant changed two years ago.
I use mine for mowing and the loader for moving snow along with dirt and stone. Also a couple hundred pine logs last year. Great little tractor. I think $10K considering all it has and the low hours is a very fair price. See if it has record of the 50 hour service. Also the coolant should have been changed at least once.

I have the B7510, its a 2007 model with 302 hours on it. It has really impressed me, I use it mainly for snow and everything else in the summer. Dirt / manure moving, grooming the horse yard and driveway with the box blade, and anything else I can think off.
So far just routine maintenance, I did replace the SDUT in the front axle with the alternate gear oil and I have had to replace 2 of the smaller hydraulic lines of the loader. Still original battery.
I can confirm it is a willing workhorse and it never ceases to amaze me how well it performs for its size.
That is a great deal, get it now before its gone.
