I have a B7510 and I have been using the woods gct52 52" and I have had no problems here with the new england rocky soil. I think Kuhn tiller is a stronger tiller, more heavy duty, but more expensive. Mine was $2200. The Kuhn was over $3000. I also have a Wallenstien bx 42 chipper and I am happy with it. Buy it where it's the best price in my opinion. I will never use Iowa farm equipment again because they are not very good business people. Hope this helps. Hope this post works, it's my first one. I have been visiting this web site for about 3 years though, good site.

I have a Yanmar RS1303 that I use on my B7610 (which is basically the same as your B7510, just 2 HP more at PTO).
These are typically available for $300-$500 used, and are a good option if you are looking for something inexepnsive. Just be sure to make sure the tines don't need to be replaced, as a replacement set costs $200. I paid $200 for my RS1303, and put $200 worth if tines into it and a $15 tine shaft seal. It works great.
To use one of these Yanmar tillers on your B7510, you'll need a set of longer (32-35") lift arms to get it to sit at the correct angle, and also to give enough driveline length to be able to put a slip clutch in. If you need to know a source for these, I can look it it for you. I paid about $50 for the pair. They're easy to swap out for the stock ones (which I put back on for anything else that I use on the 3PH). A hydraulic top link is also handy (which I have) for being able to get the right angle.

I'm not advocating one over the other but I have found King Kutter to be a good value. Not a premium brand but well built. No complaints. Unless you plan on a commercial application more expensive brands probably aren't worth the extra $$$ IMO.
Thanks to everyone for your input.

Same here. I used a $300 Yanmar RS1200 on my B7510HST. Worked fine. If the ground was particularly hard, I plowed it first with a King Kutter middle buster and then hit it with the rototiller.

We have a HST B7510 with a 60" Kubota tiller, it does pretty good, if you are tilling new ground it gets the tractor working hard, but it handles it quite well tilling 4-6".
