If the BX1800 has 18hp, the 2200 has 22hp, the 2410 has 24 hp, the 2710 has 27hp, the 2910 has 29 (okay 30hp) where is the rationale for naming it a B7500.
This has been spoken of before, I think the B7400 and B7500 are the modern versions of Kubota original 5000 (?) 6000(?) and 7000 series. The 2000 series which include the B1700(defunct and very same engine as in the BX2200), B2100 (defunct), B2400 (defunct), B2410, B2710 and B2910 are called Deluxe tractors and are a different lineage so to speak from the 7400/7500. The new BX series which includes the BX1800, BX2200 and BX22TLB are yet another line within Kubota as are the L series lineup and so on.
The B7500 rated at 21 horsepower has a larger engine displacement than the BX 2200, I think it is 61 cubes vs 55 cubes. The B7500 is a sligtly larger and somehwat more powerful tractor more suited to heavy dirt engaging work than the BX while the BX is designed for the small property owner who wants a versatile machine that excells at mowing where that is the prime use. The 2410 (69 cubes) has a noticeable amount more grunt than the 7500 I "borrowed" as a test drive and considerably more grunt than the BX. The BX is still my baby though I have the 2410 the BX wins hands down in fun factor!! Cannot wait for warm weather to play.

The B7500 stems from the B5100, B6100, B7100 model series... the B7100, one of Kubota's best selling tractors, was replaced with the B7300, which was later replaced with the B7400. The B7500 has a similar set of features to those two tractors, so it followed the model designation theme.
