Pros/Cons? Buying in the next month and looking for opinions and experiences. Will use a finish mower and moving dirt, maintaining road to pond, using post hole digger for fence around property. Not a matter of need but want. :) Thanks in advance!

I bought a 7510 three years ago -- it has worked out great! I brush hog, move manure, plow a driveway, do a little mowing with a 60" 3ph mower, put in a lawn -- and just play. I have about 8 acres to maintain -- some of that fenced in horse paddocks. Initially I wanted a JD, but here in Western Mass found that the Kubota was significantly less money -- in my case three years ago the difference was over $1000, so that was a huge factor in my decision.
Lots of people talk about the importance of a good dealer -- in my case it has been a moot point as I have used the dealer only for the initial 50 hour service-- I have done the regular maintence after that and the only problem I had was a blown fuse that I couldn't find (but a local guy did and it cost me next to nothing).
Hope this helps... ....
