My B7510 has been stalling out on me this winter.I changed the fuel filter and was using #1 deisel. This happened the first time.I dumped fresh 1/2 tank of new fuel with the new filter in place it eventually started. Next snow fall same #@#@@#@ thing. I know this wasn't maybe the best idea but I dropped a 1/2 ounce of iso prop. into the fuel tank,waited a bit, bang it started. I spoke with a local transport hauler. Up here in Northern Ontario he and his associates use Lucas Diesel Fuel addative and a cap full of iso prop. (1/2 oz.wood alchohol). Tractor 7510 is running better now.<br>
Last year the tractor was in a tent garage exposed more to the cold. This year it's in the house gararge and has had some heat from time to time. The condensation in the tank is playing havick with the fuel system. Our temperatures have reached minus 32 degrees. Really tough on all cold machines. I would really like some advice on this issue from more knowledgable members. My tractor did not to stall out last snowfall.

I push snow with my Bota 7510 bucket. Slow but works fine for my 300 foot driveway and all the out buildings. When I get carried away helping the neighbours on a heavy day I find the bucket far too slow. I have a 5' rake used for summer chores. The lads on the web suggested I use my rake as a rear snow plow. This works well on the first pass. The problems start when I angle the plow. The first shallow angle snow will come over the rake. I set the 5' rake for a sharper angle and the snow angles off nicely but really only clears a 2' track. I would prefer a 6' rake at a sharp angle. This width would work better for snow. Apply a similar thought to a front snow blade. All kinds of alterations can be applied to my 5' rake...widen and heighten for winter use. In heavy snow I do slip and will have chains for next year. Hope some of these experiances help you a bit.

Murf, the short is the tractor is running fine now. At first the filter was empty. Rolled it over no fuel yet. Removed both lines ...bone dry. Then I thought frozen line?I openned the fuel tank cap to free a possible air lock? When I openned the cap I could not see the fuel even though my gauge read 105% full. I dumped 1/2 of a 5 gallon can of fuel an the tank overflowed. Now as I sit back and think about this you were right. I maybe was not patient enough and the fuel was on it's way through the line to the filter. Maybe the new fuel mixed with the older fuel an free'd up the ice(not likely). Cranked and within 10 seconds all was fine. Merry Xmas and thanks for your support...it gave me a little more confidence.The Kubota manuel sure is vague on this issue. I guess they like the service bucks??

I ran a diesel Polaris 4*4 quad in an underground mine. Got many flats. Filled the tires with foam and no flats. Ride was stiffer but you get used to it over time.

My B7510 is a 21 hp and is very handy on the 400' driveway. Not very efficient with a 51" wide bucket.Looking at getting a 5'-6' wide ,front ,adjustable blade to run up and down quickly. When the snow crowds me out I will put the bucket on and push the banks back.In heavy wet snow the tires spin...will be buying chains soon.I put a pallet lifter on the 3 point hitch.Added 3 sand bags for weight. Sand can be used for ice as required.Would suggest 5 bags sand is a bit better as the weight will add traction. Bottom line is 21 hp is plenty for me with power to spare. A front mounted snowblower with it's own engine would be nice as it throws the snow evenly without the snow banks to trap blizzard snow. Snowblower working off the pto will is very hard on the engine.I would not work it comercially as it is too slow as the previous gentleman stated...all good info. Another point is my fuel consumption is minimal...I would guess max. 1 gallon for a moderate snowfall using the inefficient bucket.I would expect the blade would use a quarter of a gallon or so.

Another way to see if the charger is working is to see if the cell are bubbling away after an hour or so. This is the explosive gas given off. That's why you should not create a spark or open flame near a battery. This buubling does not insure the battery will hold the charge. For this you must test the specfic gravity of the fluid with a $10 glass instrment from your automotive supply shop.A $40 dollar load tester I bought last year is a quicker method as I just place an alligator clip on the pos and neg terminal an press for a reading. The acid test requires you read each cell. Hope this helps.

My 2006 B7510 HST has a front loader a 6' Woods backhoe on a sub frame mount and a 3 point hitch with a 23 hp diesel brand new Oct 2006 I paid $19000. Maybe the price was a bit high...not sure. I can say I am really pleased with it's performance.Very strong for digging ditches in clay and 1" roots. Handy to dig around stumps but not strong enough to pull large stump without axing and sawing to loosen up. Bucket is small for snow but is good and strong in wet snow...A larger bucket for snow is about $1000 or so. The machine can spread loads of gravel and other soil faster than 10 men and never gets tired.I'm told it should be good for 7000 hours before any major engine maintenance.Hope this is of some help.
