Wally, sounds like your dealer needs to sort this for you. I have a manual chute, so mine is simpler, but IRRC my bucket and snowblower both go up/down the same way. I do know that the color coding for the bucket & the snowblower hydraulic hose connections are different. My bucket (actually...

I take the blower off the quick hitch, and then take the quick hitch off the tractor, as per the operator manual. I don't think my hydraulics are precise enough to be safely positioning the quick hitch under the tractor without damaging one or the other, or both. Can you run me thru the steps...

Wally, yes I have serious problems mounting the quick hitch. It is awkward to align & lift without help. A couple of strong grandsons is the best method that I have found. Watch your fingers and toes! Perhaps someone else on the forum can give both of us a tip.

Wally - I have a B7500HSD-R with a B2781B snowblower on the front and a 6' wide rear blade on the back. The rear blade is slower to use, but takes care of the wet, heavy snow. You also need more places to pull/push the snow. IIRC, there may be a Kubota front blade (plow) that would match up...

ALL - Dropped cylinder at hydraulic shop last Wednesday and got it back Saturday am. Back together and everything seems to work well. Did some light pallet fork work yesterday. No problems. Will finish moving compost pile with bucket as soon as I can. My hydraulic guy told me that the...

ALL - I dropped the by-passing cylinder at the hydraulic repair shop today and got plugs for the hoses to that cylinder to see what the remaining cylinder does by itself. With the return line disconnected from the remaining cylinder, the cylinder discharges fluid, retracts and the quick attach...

ALL - Thank you to everyone for your input so far! I have tried to keep up with reading and understanding all the posts, but my inexperience with hydraulics and terminology has slowed me down considerably. Please stay tuned!

Dan - Thanks! So does bypassing mean I need to have the cylinder rebuilt or possibly replaced? Also is the right side bypassing cylinder preventing the left side cylinder from retracting when I try to curl? If so, is that because the left cylinder is losing retracting pressure thru the...

Dan - 1. I disconnected the hoses to both bucket cylinder rod ends. There was some initial drainage. I started the tractor and tried the curl (roll back). Hydraulic fluid flowed out of both disconnected hoses. I reconnected both hoses to cylinders. 2. I disconnected the hoses to both bucket...

Missouribound posted "I vote for the coupler connection as well. It has happened to me on a couple of occasions." Missouribound & Dan - With the tractor not running, I cycled the joy stick thru the four main functions. I disconnected all four couplings at one time, and reconnected all four...

Dan - Thanks, I don't know that dump still works, as the bucket cylinder is now fully extended. I don't know if it extended by pressure or its own weight.

Dave - I have disconnected and reconnected all four couplings multiple times and they have always felt and looked seated. Is there another way to verify that a coupling is seated/open to flow?

I lost the roll back function on my Kubota LA302 front loader and need some help finding the cause and fixing it. I was using the loader to move my compost pile from point A to point B for the winter. The pile was about 1/2 moved when the roll back function stopped working after a bucket dump...

I have a B7500 which is the model just prior to your B7510. My B7500 has a "engine stop knob" below the ignition switch. You pull the engine stop knob out to stop the engine. The knob must be pushed back in to start the engine. IIRC, the starter will turn, but the engine will not start, when...
