Kubota B7510 Troubleshooting

The Kubota B7510 is a B7-10 series compact utility tractor. This model was manufactured from 2004 to 2007. The tractor was designed in 2 versions: B7510DT (gear drive) and B7510HSD (hydrostatic drive).

The Kubota B7510 is powered by 61 cu.in (1 L) Kubota D1005-E 3-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine with a maximum power of 19 hp (14 kW) and 59 Nm (43.5 lb-ft) of peak torque at 2600 rev/min. The Kubota B7510 is fitted with 2 types of transmission. Type 1: Gear shift transmission with 6 forward and 2 reverse gears. Type 2: Two-range hydrostatic transmission with infinite forward and reverse gears.

The maximum forward speed - 12.7 mph (20.4 kph), max. reverse speed - 7.3 mph (11.7 kph). The open center hydraulic system used a dual pump with rated capacity of 4.4 gpm (16.7 lpm). The Kubota B7510 was equipped with a power assist steering system, wet disc brakes, 6.00x12 or 5.00x12 front tires, and 9.50x16 or 8.00x16 rear tires. The wheelbase is 59.1 in (1500 mm).

The tractor is compatible with 54", 60" mid-mount 3-blade side discharge rotary mower decks with cutting height of 1.5-4.0 in (30-100 mm) and hydraulic lift system, and Kubota LA302 loader with lift capacity to max height of 770 lbs (350 kg).
