    Pros and cons of snow removal options

    I like options, I have my B7500HST with Loader bucket on front, I have a B5100E with 42" plow on front and I have a self propelled snow blower and most times when we get any significant amount of snow I wind up using all 3 of them, When snow is in the forecast the B7500 is parked closest to the...

    Finding boom and bucket cylinder seal kits for a 2003 B7500HST with LA302 loader

    Actually the difference is a lot more, They were $32.25 versus $58.00 The point is moot now anyway because they just emailed me they are out of stock and will not be carrying them any more so back to my searching

    Finding boom and bucket cylinder seal kits for a 2003 B7500HST with LA302 loader

    I looked at those but unfortunately they are out of stock, they are made in Europe so probably better quality than those made in China

    Finding boom and bucket cylinder seal kits for a 2003 B7500HST with LA302 loader

    I have not called my local dealer because they do not open until 8am and I started looking online at 5am this morning, I just searched the Kubota parts website at my dealer and found the part numbers (75536-63600) for the seal kits. So when they open I will call them and get a price but I...

    B7100: Save or Part?

    Since you currently own a B7100 it would make sense to save it for parts or to pull any part that is salvageable from it, Put it in a corner with a tarp over it for the time you need a part, You can pull all the good parts and sell the scrap but in my experience I always wind up needing that...
