I have a B7500 Kubota, weighs about 1400 lbs with no implements attached. I bought the Landpride blade, I believe it was the RBT-1560. It is an excellent blade and I use it for maintaining irrigation borders, which include a small ditch and a long windrow of dirt. My B7500 will pull the blade fine when I grade something, so long as it is not too hardpacked. If it is hardpacked as in a well traveled road, I need to rip it first. Neither my tractor nor the blade is heavy enough for real road grading. So I would not worry about 23 lbs.

For the ditches on my border, my tractor is too light to angle the blade and pull the ditches clean. I end up using the tractor like a dozer and going backwards. This method works fine making borders, but a mile of road side ditch cleaning would get old. However it will work!

My dealer let me try the tractor and the blade both before I bought to make sure it would do the job I needed. You might try asking also. Might save a big disappointment.

I have a B7500 and mow 4 acres of bermuda grass weekly with a 60 inch Landpride rear mount mower. The tractor has plenty of power to do this even when its wet (at night).

I do not have a FEL, but do have rear forks to lift and haul stuff. The tractor has enough power to lift 4 railroad ties, although the front end was too light to go anywhere with them. I also have a 60 inch rear blade to maintain irrigation borders and it can push a lot of dirt. The rear limitation is when the borders get overgrown with grass and weeds the B7500 struggles to rip through the roots to move the dirt with a blade.

I got the B7500 over the larger tractors in the interest of keeping lawn compaction from tractor weight down to a minimum. Overall I have no complaints.
