Can anyone shed a little light on wheather Kubotas listed weights are dry weight or with all the fluids.
For example, my 7500hst is listed at 1367lbs. With me, it goes to almost 1700lbs (not counting any implements). How much weight do all the fluids add to a typical tractor?

Kubota weights are without wheels and tires and minus fluids I think. J

A gallon of diesel is around 5.2 lbs, a gallon of oil is about 6lbs, and hydro fluid is about 6lbs per gallon. so the answer to the question - <font color=blue>How much weight do all the fluids add to a typical tractor?</font color=blue> is - Not much.

Are you sure about the 5.5 lbs for diesel? I thought it was more like 8.8 lbs.

water is 8.33 pounds/gallon and oils float on water so I would asume that they weigh less. hydro/tranny fluid is about 7.2 a gallon.

My mistake. I picked that number up in another thread. :(
