What model replaced the B7800?

[sixdogs]

What model was the replacement for the B7800? And was there a replacement for that model? I haven't been paying attention over the years.

I have a B7800 but might be interested in one with a loader but no mower. Mine has a mower, but no loader since a loader with mower would be awkward when mowing around the house. The B7800 for me is well made, is neither too big or too small, has no problems and four cylinders that purr with power.

Any info appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Good question. Not sure.

I had a B2910, lost it in a fire. B3030 replaced it.

They are a nice size. I didn't have an FEL. Only a mmm.

Curious to hear from the more Kubota educated than you and I.

I'd say the B3350 is the closest thing to the B7800 in the current lineup.

I've had my B7800 for almost 11 years and in that time the only replacement items were front tires (one blew out a sidewall), battery and misc rubber items such as pedal covers and floor mat. The desert sun is hard on rubber.

I agree that for me it is the perfect size.

The B3200 was the replacement for the B7800.
I'm not sure that there is a current model that is.
Like Jay says,B2650 or B3350,but you're into "deluxe" territory with them.

The B3200 replaced the B7800, the closest current model to the B3200 is the B3350SU, a budget version of the B3350 which is considered a "deluxe" B.

I had always considered the B2920 as the replacement for the B7800, but it looks like both the B2920 and B3200 could be considered replacements. The replacement for the B2920 was the the B2601.

 

[McREBEL]

Also the B2620 is the same as the B2920 other than 3 less HP. Both models ran from around 2008 to 2015.

If I were buying new in this size tractor, I would give heavy consideration to the B2650.

 

[TMGT]

The B7800 and B3200 both have larger tires and are longer/wider then the B2620 & 2920.
The B2601 replaced the B2620, there wasn't a replacment for the B2920 in the new models.

The Bxx50 are comparable in size to the B3200 but with more features, with the exception of the slightly stripped down B3350SU model.

If you don't need the PTO hp I would be looking at the B2650

 

[McREBEL]

The B7800 rear tires are 1.2 " wider and the tractor is 4 inches longer than the B2920.

The B2920/B2620 are identical tractors other than the 3 HP, so yes, the B2920 was replaced by the B2601. If that were not the case the B3200 couldn't be considered a replacement for the B7800 because the B3200 has 2 more HP.

Your second post wasn't showing when I responded.

I was going off similarities between models, the B7800 and B3200 share a lot of components such as frame, rear tire dimensions which are larger overall, engines etc.

The B2620 and 2601 also share a lot of the same components including engines just like the B2320 and 2301 do.

This is a little off topic but does speak to the ability of the B series tractors.

After I got my B2920 almost two years ago my neighbor poked fun at me every chance he got implying it was just a cute little tractor that wouldn't do much. After seeing it in action several times since, he now wants one.

Good luck in whatever you decide to do sixdogs.

My B7800 is one of the most efficient little tractors I have ever used so the next model up must be even better. It can get it into corners, the four cylinders are powerful, it hardly uses any fuel and can pick up a pretty hefty rear implement when I use it for moving things around. With a small loader it's got to be the perfect tractor for around the house, especially if you have another tractor for farm type work. Kubota really has these small tractors figured out.


Here's the B7800 I now have that I might upgrade with the next model with a loader

Is there any reason for you not to put a loader on your current tractor instead of buying another?

I can't recall the exact price but my thought was that I could buy another one with a loader for not much more money. Sometimes, things at auctions go cheaper that they should.

If I put a loader on I also can't mow my lawn without taking it off and I mow 24or so times a year from March till November. So it has become a dedicated mower.

Totally understand that. My mowing tractor doesn't have an FEL. Hope you can find something that works for you.
