My b7500 engine oil filters' never had an issue with loosening off but I did have an issue with the right side hydraulic filter loosening and slowing dripping, so keep an eye on that.

IMHO, don't risk your tractor over a $10 savings, it's just not worth it in the end.

That is a good price in my mind, I paid $9500 for B7500 with 60"Mid Mount Mower and LA302 Front End Loader, 800 hrs but i don't remember the year of the tractor.

I have a couple thoughts on this:

1: the price is low (AKA: resonable!) so they probably want to part ways quickly with no strings, so be prepared for issues - mainly stemming from abuse, this really is a great tractor in my opinion

2: If I were you, and as the previous posts say, I would try to get a limited warrantee or discount for parts/labour thrown in for a period of time THAT WOULD COVER YOU WHEN YOU ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO USE THE TRACTOR enough to get to know it and find any issues. But as the price is low to start with, I would anticipate having to pay more for this.

3: What are you going to use this for? If you want a Mid Mount Mower, Front end loader (get the 302, not 272, 302 has better/greater limits), front mount snowblower, etc. it may be harder to find and more expensive because it has to fit your tractor. There are aftermarket options for all of the above but kubota does a good job of making their attachments work well for each tractor (in my humble opinion). Maybe looking at another used CUT with the attachments you want already on it would be better in the long run?

4: If you're looking just to use 3pt hitch attachments then by all means, go for it, most major manufacturers implements work great on all Compact Utility Tractors.

Good Luck

Hi there Al, I'm going to go out on limb here and assume that you are pretty new to Compact Utility Tractors (CUT)>

There is some really good info on this site, I suggest you spend some time searching any and all things you can find about your tractor, attachments, how to best operate them, etc. If you use the search bar you can find all sorts of posts/forums and you will learn an amazing amount of info about your tractor and it's workings.

You may also learn how not to break something before you do, always a good way to go about things!

Good hunting, neal

Hey there all, I thought I would add my 2 cents:

I just bought a Buhler/Farm king Y500 3pt 50" snow blower for my Kubota B7500, 21HP diesel CUT. This piece of equipment is great! I had it on and running in less than 2 hours (getting it off the back of the pickup was fun...).

For anyone with a Kubota this is a great blower because of the adjustable 3pt arms on the blower itself. I had a good conversation with the Kubota dealer about this, and it's funny how no one mentions to the uninitiated that yes a Cat 1 will fit on all Cat 1s but you have to watch the length of the PTO shaft. In some instances, you have to cut the PTO shaft because the 3pt arms on the smaller Kubotas are shorter (unless you have a quick hitch system which would add length) but no one tells you this.

The Farmking has 4 adjustable slots, so no cutting required!

Happy snow blowing!

I have the same tractor, it is light overall. The points about travelling with the FEL in a lower position are very good.

I would be careful about loading the tires if you are cutting grass as well, invariably you will create rutts.

In my experience, using a rear 3pt hitch attachment or 3pt hitch ballast is your best bet, even a full bucket of dirt is enough to make the rearend really light and lose traction. I borrowed a buddies 5ft farmking box blade - 400 lbs or whatever it weighs made a world of difference and i wasn't forced to drive around in 4wd. Good luck
