Looks good. I need a Woods brush hog like that. I see you got a hat with your purchase. I never got a hat.I wonder how many other new Kubota owners got hats.

I got two hats ...... but they were dealer hats .... not true Kubota hats.

I guess they save them for the larger tractor purchasers.

Congratulations on your new tractor: it is one strong little worker. After 2-1/2 years I am truly impressed by the work my B7800 can do. I bought it used from a Kubota dealer with only 32.6 hours on it (and I got a hat, too

).

I got a dealer hat, i gave it away. I only wear straw hats, i keep several in each truck.

That's great you finally got your tractor. Good to see you got the tooth bar too, mine digs like crazy. Be sure to make a ballast box for it.It doesn't take a lot to lift the rears off the ground; is that the 48 inch brush mower. That was the 1 I was looking at. Use that for ballast for now but you will find it will get in the way in close quarters. I find my self looking for things to do with my tractor LOL or thinking of ways to involve the tractor in everything I do

Thanks Timber,
That's a woods 60" BrushBull with slip clutch. I was thinking 48" myself because of Kubota's recommendations, but the 7800 powers it with no problems whatsoever. That cutter is a MONSTER!
Got the ATI toothbar with the replaceable teeth also. It cost more than a Markham, but the fit is excellent, and seven teeth insread of six.
I'm very happy with the entire setup.
I'll probably get the Kubota ballast box. I'm a Clay target shooter so there is LOTS of lead laying around. Also have a half dozen or so 50 lb. lead ingots, which would leave lots of room in the box for chain saw and other tools.
I love the machine!

LOL yea it is a great tractor, They said the 60 inch brush mower would vibrate too much on the B7800. Are you finding this to be true. I might go wth the 48 anyway just to maintian and cut bridal paths but we will see

The only time you might get a vibration is start up and shut down while the blades aren't in their normal swing pattern. I'd only recommend the 5 foot for a 7800 or tractor with that chassis size and horsepower.
