Dad's B7500 has HST trans, BTW. I wouldn't buy a tractor with FEL with standard clutch trans. My "antique" MF 200 has an "Instant Reverse" trans. It has one stick for high low range and another for 1st and 2nd gear, for 4 speeds total. It isnt like the Kubota where the further you push the pedal, the faster it goes. Mine has two speeds, push a little for slow, all the way down for fast. Two pedals, one each for forward and reverse next to each other, no clutch pedal, though. A little of fsubject, but the MF2200 is an "Industrial" tractor, weighs around 4k lbs, 42 hp, cast iron fenders, radiator support and rear wheel weights, a real BEAST.

Can't just go by the marketing of hp. Kubota follows the marketing push to ever higher numbers, like everyone else, because people are impressed by larger numbers. To get those numbers, they spin the RPM up on the BXs to "over rate" them a touch. A B7500 is rated more conservatively. Just sayin'

The B7500 is a great machine! I ran one for 6 seasons. I had a cab,front blade,front snowblower & 302 fel. They are reliable,powerful,lightweight,economical to run and easy to trailer. I really miss that machine, as i looked at a job today that my L is too **** big to get behind the house!
