Weight of LA302 & BH6500

[scottbennet]

I am in the process of buying a Kubota B7510 HST with a loader and backhoe. I am wondering what the weights of the pieces are.

According to the manual, the B7510 HST tractor is 1367 lbs. It is equipped with a Woods BH6500 backhoe and subframe. It also has a Kubota LA302 front end loader.

Does anyone have an idea of what the attachments weigh ?

Thanks in advance.

According to the Woods website the shipping weight of the backhoe without bucket is 730 lbs, I would suspect the LA302 loader is about the same or a little more, That would put your total weight for the tractor/loader/backhoe somewhere around 2800 lbs.

I have a B7500 HSD with the La302 loader(no backhoe) and it is a great little machine, I have the turf tires on it(33x12.50-15 rears/23x8.50-12 fronts) The tires are filled with liquid ballast which adds a couple hundred more lbs so thats something else to consider when figuring the weight of the machine.

scottbennet - The LA302 weighs 475# plus the Square 48 bucket weighs 120# for a total weight of 595#.

Rusty, TY for the loader weight, Does that weight include the large mounting bracket that bolts to the underside center of the machine?

I notice that your signature shows your B7500 HSD-R, My COO shows my B7500 as a B7500 HSD-F, Do you have any idea what the R or F stand for at the end of the model number.

cmorningstar01 - Sorry, I don't have the answer to either of your questions.

The loader weight is from my Front Loader Operator's Manual, under "Loader Specifications."

I have seen what the "R" stands for, but don't remember what it is, nor where I saw it. I don't remember seeing an "F" before.

Hi Stuart, Great list and thanks for the link to it, I was familiar with what the HSD stood for on my B7500 HSD, I just did not know what the letter F was for at the end, My Certificate of Origin shows the model as B7500 HSD-F, The letter F however does not appear anywhere on the machine, It simply has the B7500 and the HSD decal, My guess and this is only a guess is that it may have something to do with the production run.
