ZB1500DT

Has anyone ever heard of this model Grey Kubota. I was told that it would be late 80s to early 90s, does this sound correct.
Was it imported by Kubota under a different name at any point.
It is supposed to be 18hp, I want to use it to run a 5' finishing mower & post hole digger ... any thought/opinions ?

That model is more like a late 1970's tractor. It's closest domestic Kubota model is the L175.

Thanks for the reply Brent, but you are thinking of a ZL1500DT. This is actually a B series (smaller) tractor, and I think a little more modern.

If it has a Z in the front it is a Zen-noh, built by Kubota and labeled Zen-noh either at the time it was built, or later due to import reasons.

Is it 3 cyl? if so it could be similar to the american B1550 or B1750 models. But then again, there were a bunch of different engine/tranny/frame combos so I wouldnt assume a complete match to a us model.

My documentation shows the Kubota B1500DT first manufactured in 1981, and latest manufactured in 1983. It was replaced with the B1502DT for 1984.
