Kubota B7510 fel

[600rider]

I am in the market for a FEL for my 2004 B7510 and have checked Craigslist for about a 500 mile radius and have found nothing! so I called some dealers and got prices on a new loader, Help me out I now nothing about them and there are several manufacturers of fells out there. I got a quote from a Kubota dealer on a LA302 of $2900 (I was supperised to find they are still avaliable!) also a Woods Ground mover Ls72 with a 48" bucket for $3300, also a WGM Ls84 with a 50" bucket for $3580 or add $75 for a 60" bucket. All out the door and I put them together and on the tractor, which I am fully capable of doing. I got a quote of $4500 for a Brush Hog I don't know the model off hand.
My tractor is 21hp 4x4 HST Help me out Please. Which of these would be a good fit for my tractor? Or is there another brand that would work and may be cheaper? :confused2: I do know that cheaper doesn't mean better but I am on a tight budget!

The La302 was the heavy duty loader for the 7500 and 7510. I had the La272 on mine and it served me well. Of course the La302 would have a little more lift capacity. I abused the La272 a lot, and it never fell apart If it was me I would be inclined to get the Kubota loader, thinking of resale value. I would imagine that any of them would work fine.

I also had a B7500 with the LA272 loader and that little loader took a lot of abuse. The only regret is I didn't get the LA302 and would have liked the extra lift capacity. You might want to look into the LA352 and see if it will fit, I know they come on the B7610's and have even more lift capacity.

Had a B7500 with the la302 for 10 years and abused it almost daily. Never bent, twisted or broke anything in 762 hours. I don't think that tractor can hurt that loader.

I had the same dilemma when I bought a used tractor and decided to get the loader as well. I got the LA-302 for $3000 dealer installed as I bought the tractor from them too. I felt it was a good match for the tractor. The only thing I wish I had was a slightly larger bucket. It comes with 48" but I would loved to had had a 50-54" bucket on it as most of the materials I handle are fairly light. I don't know if the 50" bucket that comes with the LA-362 would fit. You could always ask the dealer if it matters. One thing for sure. I never managed to fit anything in the bucket that the loader could not lift. Once I heaped it as high as I could with small rocks just to see if it will lift it. It did.

I had the 7510 with a LA302 loader for a couple of years. It is tough!

you could get a new loader and an ATI bucket which is much tougher than the Kubota bucket.

I tried a 54" but went back to a smaller bucket. The 302 loader and a 48 inch ATI bucket combo would outlast any of us !

The 54 inch bucket made the tractor unstable. The hydraulics on that tractor would pick up anything you put in it.

Good Luck.

So if the tractor was unstopable with the 54" bucket why did you go back to the 4" bucket?
what is ATI?
