If all you do is mow 1.5 acreas you don't need a B7500, that's too much tractor for 1.5 acres of mowing. It's a great tractor but you need a bunch more acres to justify it, or some other work like moving dirt or rocks or roto tilling or something.

My FEL will drop a little over time if the engine is operating at lower RPM. The low RPM means lower hydraulic pressure. I have a 6200 which is a single hydraulic pump like yours (7500 has a double pump)

If I am going from place to place in travelling (high) gear, I have the RPM's lower of course, and the FEL drops, but if I am travelling in lower gear with the engine RPM higher, it never drops. Is this what's hapenning to you?

Wow, really? Use the low range for loading? Wow, thanks for telling me. I never would have thought of it.

Did you ever see the B-7500 "Narrow" model that's made for nurseries? It's the same as a regular 7500 but it's reeeeally narrow. Can only be used on level ground or it will tip over. It's about half the width of a regular 7500. Even has narrow tires.

Why would you add in $3000 for a loader? Loaders of this size (1/4 yard or so) go for $2200 NEW and this loader is 20 years old. I think a loader like this adds $500 to a 20 year old rig. This thing isn't worth a nickel over 6000.

Well, the final verdict is, it doesn't leak ANY oil anymore. I don't understand this. After I changed the oil, and filled it with 3 quarts, it doesn't leak a drop, and I've been using it heavy for 2 weeks now loading gravel.

Well, I guess Kubota tractors DO fix themselves!!

Depends on how old it is. They made B6200's from the late 70's to almost 1990. It late 70's ask $4000 if 1990 ask $6000 or $7000.

I have a B6200 with FEL and paid $5500 for it from a dealer, that's about the regular price. But you have to know the year, the B6200 ranges from the late 70's to around 1990, mine is from 1988. How old is yers?

Peters, you should be more worried about your hydraulics than your plumbing.

The cheapest way to add weight to the front is to pick up a load of dirt with your FEL. Dirt, gravel, rocks, etc. will cost you about $0.0000001 a pound instead of $1.00 a pound for suitcase weights.

If you don't have a FEL, get one.

Something's wrong with the threads dude. If teflon tape leaks, it ain't the tape that leaks. One of your steel connectors has messed up threads.

When I got to the Kubota today the FEL was down and the bucket was on the ground. I guess it lowered slowly overnight.

I hate Sundays. The only day you can't buy anything, like HOSES!

We had an earthquake yesterday, a 5.1 on the Rickter Scale. Shook me out of bed, the epicenter was in Plattsburgh, NY. It did damage up there, down here it just woke everybody up early.

I have a B6200 similar to B6000E and I always run it a full engine speed. It torques the implements better and gives the hydraulics the pull pressure. To adjust speed I just change gears.

Also starts better at full throttle. I always keep it set on full rabbit and no turtle. (Except when I get off the tractor to move a rock, etc.)

If the only purpose of using calcium or magnesium is to prevent freezing, then why the heck don't they just use regular antifreeze with rust retardant in it? That stuff sits in engines with cast iron blocks for years and never rusts anything. Why calcium? The price is not the reason, they charge an arm and a leg for the stuff. The price they charge for calcium cloride solution is a rip off, you can buy a whole bag of the solid (they sell it for melting ice on your driveway) and mix it in water yourself, it's dirt cheap, and you add water, which is basically free. Where do they get off selling 50 pound bags of "calcium" for $39? that's almost a buck a pound? It's just water with a little CaCl in it. Cripes, you can mix your own for calcium solution for probably 39 cents for 50 pounds!
