kubota l3130

Anyone using this setup? Can't seem to find much info on the factory front plow blade kit. From what I was able to find, the plow subframe has to be removed in order to re-attach the loader. (mine is the 723). Is it worth the aggravation? I'm trying to stay away from one of those loader arm rigs...

Hi all- New to tractors and the site and have been reading quite a bit. Very informative. Need some help with hydraulic power. Seems it does not lift near what it did when new. have done all 100 hour service. I read another post and it said in addition to all filters, there was a screen for the...

I have got a problem with my L3130. A stick ripped the wires out of my trans today. I thought I could just splice it back together but not so. The wires ripped out of the connector, so I have nothing to splice too. My kubota dealer stated the only way to get the connector is to buy the entire...

While mowing today, I noticed the speed monitor was not working. After finishing mowing, I crawled under the tractor and found a broken plastic piece that has 3 wires coming from it. Does anyone have any experience replacing this themselves or is this going to require a trip to the shop?

I would like to ask for input on a tractor comparison. I am considering two different used tractors for use on 14 acres that I recently purchased. The land has 11 acres of field (with 10 years growth) and 3 acres of woods. I want to clear the growth and get the land ready to build a house...

I know it is the middle of the summer - hardly a time to ask about snowblowers. I have a L3400 right now and a 68" Meteor snowblower. I'd say that the blower is about 6 to 8" wider than my tractor with industrial tires. I have a dealer pricing out an upgrade to one of the Grand L and I wanted...

Anyone mowing with a Kubota L3130 and 6' Bush Hog Squealer? Many threads on Bush hoging, but couldn't find anything with this specific combination. Currently use a 4' Squealer from my Fergie TO20, but need something wider then the L3130 tires. penokee

I have 18 hours on my new L3130 and am noticing a spongy pedal in low. In other words the tractor constantly catches up to the position of the pedal. The problem isn't really bad but is certainly noticeable compared to the other ranges. In M and H the tractor responds very well to pedal...

How much play is considered normal in the steering wheel of a new tractor? If I mark a spot on my steering wheel and turn left to right, I have to turn it 2 1/2" to 3" before the front wheels move. Transversely, when driving the tractor I see the wheels move back and forth slightly when the...

I've got about 50% left on factory ag tires, and want to make the change to R4's on my L3130. Want to buy a good tire, but don't have any idea of what it might cost here in North Texas, for the rim/tire swap. I don't mind trailering 50-100 miles from the Sulphur Springs area, if anybody...

Today, I replaced my fuel filter and when I went to open the air vent screw to bleed the fuel system I think it was left open. Is the vent screw open or closed when the screw is completely turned counter clockwise? Thanks Steve.

I need some advice. I just bought a new L3130 w/LA513 FEL and the standard 66" bucket. I really need a bucket that is a little wider. My dealer is willing to trade me out of my "standard" 66" bucket into a 72" Light Material Bucket. This bucket while only 6" wider has almost 50% more...

Alright, here are the pictures of the big day. I arrived at the dealership, which is 41 miles from my home, at 7:00am on Friday morn. Since the store didn't open for another half hour I took a good long look at the tractor before signing the papers. Made sure everything was as discussed and put...

This is my first post, but I have been reading posts here for some time. I think I have myself talked into a new L3400 Hst ,R4's and a FEL. Went to the local dealer and got a quote of $16,800. My question is, would the L3130 be a better bet for the 2-3K price jump? and if so, What about the...

Hey all, I was wondering if any of you L3130/L3430 owners have upgraded their loader from LA513 to LA723? This is mostly a hypothetical question, because I have no pressing need to upgrade the loader, but I was wondering what it would cost to do so. I'd hope that I could trade in my LA513 on...

I was wondering if there was a 12 volt outlet on a L3130 or if anyone has added one. Thanks

When either shifting up or down to both 5th and 6th gear, there is a pinch noise. I wouldn't quite call it grinding, but it is quite loud and doesn't sound harmless. When in those gears at idle, a louder hummm can be heared than other gears as well. It seems to perform fine in these gears...

I just ordered the basic kit plus one two position valve. Anybody install one? Is it simple? Thanks Bill

Hello, I shopping around for maybe a new tractor, I may jump up to the next size above my B7800. I was just wondering what everyone thought about this tractor. I would be getting it with the woods, BHX70 w/ thumb. Thanks

I received my new HST 3130 and I love it, I have one question though. I installed my own 513 front end loader and that works fine, but my 3 point hitch does not go up, is there something I am missing. Thanks

Got a question, I recently purchased a L3130 4wd with Bush hog 2045 loader and bus hog 5 ft box blade. I’ve been working this tractor around my pond, I’ve busted the dam and in the process of cleaning it out redoing the dam, general dirt moving. This tractor does this with no problems, digging...

I am looking at purchasing a new JD 3120 or a new Kubota Grand L3130. I am mainly purchasing this machine in order to brush hog 5 acres across from my home. The subdivision owns a 5ft. brush hog, but the only man who has a tractor, won't let us use it. As I already said, I want this machine...

The dealer delivered my L3130 Dt with LA723 QA FEL and R4 tires yesterday. I checked the tire pressure. It had 35 PSI in the front tires and 20 PSI in the rear tires. The tractor and loader owners manual calls for 20 PSI front and rear. Should I follow the owners manual or what was in the front...

Delivered this afternoon, this new orange addition to my family. Life is good. L3130 with 66 inch FEL, 6 foot rake and Box Scraper.

Ok,.....It looks like I've hit rock bottom on my dealer on the L3130. He won't budge anymore. This is what I have so far, so tell me what you think: (FYI.......I have decided to go with the 4WD with R4s and FST tranny) L3130-- $11,936 Woods RD72--$1600 These are cash prices. If I decide...

I've been reading these forums for awhile, but I finally decided to register and post. First of all, right now I have a Kubota L175 that has done everything I have ever asked of it, but I need to upgrade due to more needs. I'm in the market for a ~30hp, 2WD tractor that will be used for mowing...

I recently purchased a nice Kubota L3130 with the BL4690B backhoe and everything has been peachy. Digging trenches moving stumps etc., but now it's time to take off the backhoe and it appears to be frozen to the tractor. One of the two top pins is bent and can't be removed. I don't know if a...

I am looking for subframe information, for the Woods 4 point frame for the grand L series tractors. If you own this setup, and can help on a couple of measurements, please let me know. Also, is the backhoe to big for the tractor? Does the tractor move around too much using the backhoe? Do you...

OK, not sure where to post this and couldn't find anyting in a search and I'm as newbie as they come so here goes. I finally bought a tractor, an L3130 (with FEL got it with 14 hours from an auction :) ). I liked this tractor in that it was the only type tractor I had ever driven (friend let...

I've been searching the forum for the last day or so, as well as a few other places, I was quoted $18,500 with ag tires and FST transmission, I was expecting something a bit less since I was told that I could expect to save $2,500-3,500 on a harvest rental return. Also, salesman said that the...

I understand the Grand L series has experienced an overhaul. First question: How long will attractive financing continue? Second question: Will improvements be worth any cost increases? Since the new line has increased HP, perhaps there is no need to go to the 3430 for its current gain over the...

At the Ritchie Bros auction bought a basically new (14 hours!) 2005 L3130, warranties through 8/07 & 8/08, with 723 FEL and hydrostat trans, for the absolute top dolllar I said I'd pay, $15k. The thing looks showroom. So? Good? Bad? Average? I called 3 local dealers before hand and same...

I perceive the L3130 HST 4wd will effectively augment the KX161-3 on residential lots. Will it be sufficient for use on our often unforgiving terrain in New Hampshire, when necessary? At the same time, is it too heavy for regular grounds maintenance? Would the New Holland TC35DA, equipped with...

Hi, I was pushing up some brush and hedge when a large piece of brush made its way up the inside of the right front tire, it bent the engine side cover, cracked the shroud and caused a small leak at the bottom of the radiator. The leak is very minute, say a drop every 20 seconds. Has anyone...

Tomorrow, my dealer is picking up my tractor for a routine service interval. I have a Kubota L3130 that is 2 years old this month. I have the L753 loader on it with the standard pin-on straight back bucket. I just got to thinking of asking him about getting the quick-attach for pallet forks and...

I noted here that a few vendors do carry the shop manuals. Are they worth the $$ ? I am a DIY'er (within reason) and would like to have a soup to nuts book for my new machine. Thanks.

I am purchasing a new L3130 (4WD) with a LA723 loader and a BH90 backhoe. The dealer offers a fiberglass canopy for $350. I have seen one of these in person and they look good. What I don't know is how well it holds up. I have a lot of small trees with low branches that will hit it some and it...

Guy's I have been evaluating the purchase of a L3130 with a loader and backhoe. What I am finding is that dealers are hesitant to mix different brands of loader and backhoe due to the subframes not matching. My dilema... I like the LA723 loader but the Kubota backhoe's leave a little to be...

I am finalizing my decision on the purchase of a new L3130 tractor with a FEL and backhoe. Based on the quotes that I have, purchasing with a Bush Hog brand FEL (2045) and a Bush Hog backhoe (BH750) is $1000 - $1500 less than a comperable Woods brand and $2000 to $2500 less than Kubota brands...

Does anyone have any experience with a 72" mid mount mower on an L3130? My Kubota dealer said the MMMs dont work that well on the larger, taller tractors yet Kubota offers the mid PTO as an option on the L3130. Any thoughts?

Hello everyone, I am new to this and wish for any help in selecting the tractor. I just purchased a 17 acre piece of property which I intend to put up a fence, till the soil for a large size garden and finish mow. I was looking at the Kubota L3130 with a 723 loader for $19500. the same dealer...

I have about 17 acres of hilly ground to maintain in south central Iowa. It consists of mostly cutting/mowing heavy brush, a horse pasture, and CRP acres. The terrain ranges from hilly (if row cropping would have to contour plow), to low and usually muddy near the pond. Also have a lane of...

I have a Grand L3130 with 110 hours. The 3 point hitch will not lower unless there is substantial weight on it - such as a box blade. The 6' rake is not heavy enough to lower it unless I stand on it for added weight. All fluids are at proper level and routine maintenance has been done. Is there...

I have a L3130 with the LA513, My uncle has a L3000DT with a FEL, but I don't know what model. ( I think its a 4** something). How does the FEL compare to the LA513? How does the tractor compare to each other?

Hello folks, Thanks in advance for any thoughts on the following ... Dealer has a HST L3130 on the lot I could purchase right now. Or I could order a GST L3430 which may take a while to get. My thought is if I order I'll get the increased HP the L3430 has to offer with the GST ... the GST...

So far I love it. Sure am glad I got the HST. This tractor got bigger when I drove it in the woods. So far I have cleared about 1 acre of brush, skidded some logs, and flattened out some mounds left over from building my house. Due to the nature of my property (wooded and hilly), I am mostly...

Can anyone tell me or direct me to a site to get filter cross reference numbers for an L3130? At this time, I need to change the oil filter, but hydraulic and fuel filters are not too far behind so those would be appreciated too. The Kub p/n for the oil filter is 70000-74035. Thanks, Jim

I do not want to get the bolt on loader bucket type. Also how well do the grapple pallet forks setup work. I will be moving around some small...

Should one spend the xtra for this? Occasionally wood spliting and will definately get a sickle mower when I get better off financially. Can you put it on later yourself and what is the cost for the hyd. rear remotes cost. (single) Labor cost? I'll check with dealer tommorow on his cost...

Just got a quote as follows: - L3130 HST Kubota tractor w/ R4 tires (loaded with fluid in rear tires) - Kubota LA723 Loader with 72” bucket (skid steer quick tach) Price = $21,000.00 Seems high to me. What do the rest of you think?

After 3 long weeks of testing, reading every post in here, and friends opinions, I decided on the L. 17,200 wLA513, canopy delivered came down to MF1533 and a FarmTrac300DTC or 360DTC. I look forward to reading and posting in here from time to time but will not spend as much time as I have over...

I just read another forum user complain about the L3130 being underpowered for it's weight (approx 3200 lbs depending on configuration with 32ghp on the engine). I presume this user is actually talking about weight to power ratio, but I digress. I've heard FEW complaints about the GL series...

If I am correct this is the same size tractor just a little more hp from the 3430? For those that have run both is there a noticeable difference? If you drove/ran them back to back would you be able to tell? Or is the hp only noticeable at the PTO? Does the added hp of the 3430 justify the extra...

I'm ready to add a box blade to my arsenal and I just don't know what to get. I've read some of the threads in the "Attachments" forum but they don't contain all the information I think I'll need. For starters, the first question the dealer asked is what size do I want? Great question, but I...

I live in central valley California, is $22,700 to much to pay for l3130 with 723fel and bushhog box scraper. I am going to make the purchase tomorrow. Your opinion is appreciated!

I noticed that my tractor was losing power. Then I noticed that it would start up okay, but as soon as I put it into gear and let up on the clutch the tractor would stall. I took out the air filter, shook it and put it back in. The tractor eventually started to work. A few days later I had a guy...

Just wondering if anyone else's green cruise indicator light has gone on the "blink" - like mine did ! Would it be (repairable) as a warranty issue? My L3130 hst has 365 hrs on it, 18 months old. dwight

Just bought a Harvest return Kubota L3130 HST. Harvest return tractors are rented by local farmers for the summer and then turned in with 50-100 hours. Then sold with full 3 year warrenty for about $3,000 off new. Bought it from Dolk Tractor in Rio Vista,CA 1-707-374-6439. Rio Vista is on Hwy...

Hello TBN'rs, After purchasing a Kubota BX-23 based upon the input on this board, and then obtaining additional acreage, I quickly realized that my needs have out grown the capacity of the BX-23. So now I have started the quest of selling the BX-23 and purchasing a larger tractor. At first I...

I need to get the hydraulic pressure checked on our L3130. The bucket curl is weak. The dealership is ~50 miles one way so the cost for mileage and service call charge is high. I want to buy the fitting that is required to check the pressure, but the dealership can't get it. Where do guys...

What rpm do you guys operate at when using the loader? I was moving some dirt at like 1800 RPM in low and it seemed to want to stall as soon as I went into the dirt. Also when going to pick up the load the loader would not lift it I was really confused as it was not that heavy, I had to back up...

This may seem like a silly question, but here goes: On my L3130 HST, should I be pushing in the clutch pedal before engaging the PTO? My manual refers to the PTO lever as a PTO clutch but does not mention using the clutch peddle in concert with it. Excuse my inexperience.

When I raise my Box Blade, it doesn't start to lift until the lever is around #5. Is this normal? Seems to me it would raise almost immediately before I monkeyed around trying to adjust the hydraulic speed with that control under the seat. penokee

I want to install myself a remote hydraulic valve for a front grapple (Borgford). I am a mechanic by trade but would like to know the difficulty of the job and is there any special lines involved? Kubota quoted my 850 for the valve in which he told my mounts on the loader. Any help would be...

We just sold the ol' L2500 w/FEL. It had 770 hours on it. We got an easy $8,000 for it. Also just bought a L3130 HST from Lanford Equipment in Austin, Texas. Here's the breakdown: L3130HST $14,771 LA513 FEL $ 3,473 Rhino SE5 Shredder...

I called the dealer and was quoted 790.00 for the pallet forks for quick attach is that a good price to pay? No tax in NH.

buykubota-ML-746013-ML- Moved to Kubota Buying/Pricing forum

Hi, Just wanted to post what my final L3130 configuration looks like. It took the dealer a while to get this all set up for me. -New L3130 HST with 723 FEL with Quick Attach. -Borgford BG-5 Quick Attach Grapple. 3/4" thick tines. This thing is well built like a tank. -Alternate Kubota front...

Im moved in a different direction than most today. I just downsized from a Grand L 3130 GST with loader/BH to a BX23. The dealer gave me a decent trade in price and a good price on the BX and I got to extend my financing another 3 years at 0%. Ive done some landscaping, clearing and grading as...

Thanks to all that helped answer my questions. Here is the configuration. L3130, Loader L723 72" HD bucket quick coupler, BH90 Hoe with 18" HD bucket, R4's loaded & Soft cab with heat only. Should be delivered in 2 weeks.

I was reccomended by the dealer as this being the best choice for my needs. It seems for have more lifting capacity then the 300cx deere and 448 backhoe. My question is this a good tractor? Any problems? I was quoted a price of 28,300.00 in NH is that a good price? I really wanted the JD3720 but...

Hi Everyone, we have had our tractor for about 4 months now and have been using the heck out of it. Today though, while using the tractor, the trans just stop working. GST light came on, and getting different error messages depending on what gear I try to put the tractor in. Error 61 - 66. I...

Recently did the 50 hr. change and have a question on color of used hydraulic oil. Several posts have mentioned that you can't tell if your oil is bad just by the color - maybe so, I have no idea. Question: What makes the oil dark? 50 hr. drained oil in left bottle, new Super UDT in right...

Back in august there was a post for a price on an L3130 and B7800 as follows: B7800 HST, Folding ROPS, Mid PTO, R-4 Tires $12,150 L3130 HST, Ag Tires $13,700 Prices are in Northeast Ohio and do not include sales tax. I am assuming these are 4WD, they don't come in 2WD HST do they? I am in...

Which is better for my purpose? Background: Have 10 acres of flat, Florida planted pine timberland. I have cleared about 1.3 acres for the homesite and plan to clear another 1+ acre for a covey or two of quail. Initially, I need to complete the homesite prep, spread about 20 loads of fill...

Did the first 50 hour change on the Front Axle Case Oil, and could only get 4 qts. to go back in. Book says it holds 6.9 qts. Parked on a level surface, removed both drain plugs, filler plug and overflow plug, let it drain for 1/2 hour (much grey in the oil which I assume is metal from the...

I had pretty well decided to go with a Kubota L3400 DT but after reading these forums decided that the L3130 was a better way to go. Then I dropped by a JD display booth and saw a JD3120. More work and reading here and I believe the JD3320 is a closer match to the Kubota. As a real rookie in...

Hello, I have a L3000DT+FEL with 160 hrs (year 2001 or 2002?), wich works excelent to my needs (horse ranch), I have an offer of $16000 for it on next monday, if I sell it, I need another tractor as soon as possible (I live in Costa Rica, so I buy in the US and aprox. 2 weeks later is here). I...

I have an L3130 with the LA723 loader and BL4690B backhoe and I've been having a hard time determining what the overall weight of the tractor would be with these impelments attached. (I'm in the market for a new trailer) None of the literature I have gives the weight of the implements. My guess...

Well, well, well. I am a sicko, I washed my tractor. This is one of the things I forgot about but couldn't wash away. When it happened I surely do remember looking around to see what fool was burning plastic in a fire on a 100F+ day. It looks like I am the fool. This is what my BIL found, quite...

L3130 HST w/ LA 723 quick release loader, R4 tires $19,500 Canopy $375 Pallet forks $800 Befco 6' RSD172 rotory mower $1500 Thanks

I have no experience with either machine but I've been scratching my head between the B7800 and the L3130 for a while now. I'm going to want one or the other for snowblowing in Michigans upper peninsula (lotsa snow!). At any rate, do you think a b7800 might actually be more powerful at the PTO...

Well, I've been studying this site since about April and thought I had made a decision. I went in to my local Kubota dealer today prepared to make a deal on a new B7800. Dealer suggested the 3130 was a lot more tractor for just a little more money. I think so too, so I'm seeking the opinions...

My husband and I are in the market for a Kubota tractor. We have 8 acres and currently mow about 2 acres. We want a tractor with a loader and mower, and would also like to use it for plowing snow. We recently checked out and test drove the B3030 and L2800 and liked features about each of...

I am looking at a L3130 GST 4WD and wondering if its a good price. It comes with a box blade a disc and a bush hog. I am trading the disc it comes with for a Tuffline and getting IND Tires as well. Altogether it is 16,300. Just wondering if that is a decent price and what yall have paid. Thanks...

Hello everyone, I am a new member but have been reading post for several years which was why I bought my L3130. I also have a L185DT. I am pricing a 723 FEL with quick attach and tooth bar. How does this price sound. 723 fel, quick attach $4300.00 Tooth bar $300.00 I have one more dealer to get...

Hello, to all great discussions in these forums. Looking to purchase soon. I was at my local dealer last weekend and got some pricing. Iam new at this so be kind. L3400DT w/FEL 60" lift #1,000, $16,500, L3130DT w/66" lift #1,345 $18,000. I have 3.5 acres to mow but will have to maintain 50 acres...

It's time for my 50 hour fluid change (great timing in addition to replacing the bent hydraulic cylinder rod mentioned in an earlier post) on my tractor and RTV.. Filters and Fluid has been purchased, drain pans are at the ready, new bucket cylinder is on the way. Now my question... Any proven...

L3130 Owner\'s Manual I finally took the plunge and I'm getting a used L3130 DT, 4WD, Ag tires, LA723 FEL. My first tractor ever! However, it doesn't come with the owner's manual. Is there anything in there that is important to know right away? Does anybody know any place online that I can...

I think the L3130 is a lot of machine for the money, but probably just too big and heavy for my future needs. I like the L3400 size and weight, but the jerkyness of the 3pt hitch is a deal-killer. I tried the tractor with a box blade last week, and it is unusable for final grading work...

Well, well, well, I was using the tractor today and I hit a small mound and guess what; the shear pin didn't shear but the yoke on the PTO did. I had already sheared a pin a couple of months ago a put a new one in that the dealer supplied when I got the tractor and implements. I saved the...

If you own a L3130, would you buy the same tractor again? Some say it's underpowered for its weight--do you agree? I would get a L3830, except the tires and frame use in some tight spaces I have on my 80 acres. Would appreciate a 3130 owner's perspective. Thanks.

Thanks to good advice from here, I have ruled out the L3030 as too light for my needs and have narrowed my final choice between the L3130 and NH TC33DA. My challenge is that I want to mow lawn and do some brush hogging, trail building, and occasional logging on my 80 acres. The TC33DA is a...

I have two questions for owners of the L3130 HST. If you load up a 6 foot box blade and load it down, will the tractor spin all four wheels (4WD) on a dry surface (IN LOW GEAR)?? Would you have gotten the L3430 if you had to do it over again?? I'am gona get one or the other but the dealer only...

I posted a message for information on the Iseki TG5390 and Kubota L3130 a few days ago. I have since found out that variants of the Iseki TG5390 are sold in the States as the Massey Ferguson 1540 and Agco ST41. Any thoughts on the pros and cons of these tractors would be appreciated...

I am a newbie to tractors. This forum has been great in getting me up to speed with ideas and information. I have 100 acres of hilly country in Western Australia. The main uses for the tractor will be for earth works for the house i am building, maintaining the long driveway,firebreaks and the...

Well, we got our L3130 last week. 6' FEL and a 65" Scrapper. I had the guy who delivered it give the "new tractor" orientation to my thirteen year old son, who has since built a motocross track with it. Pretty cool I must say. Anyway, I am looking for a mower. I am thinking a brush hog type...

Where can I get a shop manual for an L3130 Kubota. I thought I&T would have one. Smittyd

I am in the process of purchasing a 2004 L3130 HST it is a diesel, 4x4, hst. The tractor has 45 hours on it. I sell corporate aircraft equipment and took this tractor in on trade for an aircraft tug. I am looking for someone to share with me what kind of money this tractor should bring on a...

Good morning friends. I've been laboring over the decision for months and finally have my choice narrowed down to Kubota. Now my choice is between a 3130 and a 3400. My local Kubota dealer gave me a price of $17,100 for a 3400 GST, FEL, and a 5' rotary mower. I thought that was pretty fair and...

Had a local dealer quote me a price of $23373 for a L3130 with R4's, Hydrostat, 513 Loader with HD bucker and quick attach, tooth bar, and 2 rear Hydraulics. Would appreciate comments on whether this a realistic quote or if he is abusing drugs.

I'm ready to order this tomorrow morning, but want to run it by the experts first. Last year's model L3130, HST, R4's, LA723 with quick detach. $19137. Delivered to my door, finance charges included. I'm just outside Memphis, TN $14,125 for the tractor $4,493 loader Question on the quick...

The serial number is 30872; anyone have any idea what year this is? Also what was the first year for the Grand L with the Intellipanel thingy; it has this. It has hyrdo w/industrail tires. Wish it had ag's, it there a bi difference. Would filling the industrials make up for the loss of...

Which backhoe is most often recommended for the L3130??

Does anyone have any input on this particular tractor? It is priced with a 723 FEL at 16,900. Thanks

Is this tractor too big to realistically mow a lawn with a mid-mount mower? I live in the northeast and have about 2.5 acres. I would put turn tires on it, but I'm still worried about the weight I'm looking at a B3030. I really like the bucket and size of the 3130 though. The 3030 is nice...

The 50 hour service will soon be due on our L3130 GST. The manual isn't clear on which oil to use -- UDT or Super UDT??? The manual gives the capacity, but it doesn't come out and specify which one UDT or Super UDT, so I'm guessing it's Super UDT. What do you other GST people use?? Thanks...

I have the quick attach unit for the bucket on my L3130. My question is about the direct pin bucket. Do the top pins for the tilt cylinders for the direct pin bucket mount more toward the top of the bucket than the quick attach pins do or are they about in the same place? The reason I am...

Sorry to ask a stupid question, but my manual states to lower tractor rpm's to about idle before shifting shuttle. I am using my bushhog (running over 2600 rpm) - do I have to shut down to idle to reverse? I run my Ford 3000 diesel at 1800 to get the 540 PTO and I have always just shoved in...

I have 25 1/2 hours on the L3130. I must admit I wasn't as used to it so to speak as I thought I was. I have about quit having withdrawals of trading in the 140 Farmall on the 3130. I love the LA513 loader. Back in January I had complained to a couple of my friends at work about the loader...

Not feeling bad after reading the lenght of time it took for some people here to figure out what tractor they want. I've been looking around for the past three months, and am leaning toward a Kioti CK30HST or Kubota L3130HST. Kitoi for just the tractor around mid 13,000, the Kubota is about...

Sold my baby (Fergie TO-20), so looking to get a Rear Blade. Comments on brands, size, etc. appreciated. Plan to use it primarily for grading gravel roads. Have a Box Blade, but need something to reshape the crown. Have used my AC H3 crawler in the past (back blading), but it's a pain to move...

I just got a price today on an L3130DT w/ industrial tires,1009 Woods loader w/UJ2-66 Long 4-in-1 bucket and a Woods BH7500 Backhoe. The quote was $27,200. How does that sound? It seems to be a nice setup.

It wasn't long after I purchased my L3130HST (two years ago!) that I noticed the steering wheel was slightly misshapen. The top of the wheel was flattened a bit and pushed down. Not sure what happened there, but my selling dealer is a hundred mile ride so I didn't let it bother me enough to...

I had an excellent cultivating tractor; a 140 Farmall, but I traded it in on the L3130. On the 140 I had a front gang and a rear gang and it was a pleasure to plow with it, because it was an offset tractor. The L3130 GST is a 4wd with a LA513 FEL. I guess the front axle is not adjustable. I...

Just took another spin on the L3130 again. The more I look at them the more I like them. Kubota that is. The seem like very tight well built machines. I also like the turning radius somewhat beter that other brands. I also looked at the L3430 with the cab. NICE but not worth the extra 5...

I searched TBN for the following information but could never find the answer so here it is: FYI for all you L3130 owners: The outside width of your tread with Ag tires on the widest wheel setting in between 62"-63" inches. If you want a box blade to cover your rear tracks a 60" BB is not...

Been actively using this dog and feel I've actually understated the lack of power! I have heard thru the grape vine that the L3130 will be deleted from the 2006 lineup debut. The L3430 will become the bottom. So, it seems there may be fire under all this smoke. Wonder if they will continue to...

Just bought a new L3130 but they have not delivered. It is coming with LA523 loader -- is the LA 723 a much better FEL?

I just signed the papers this morning. I should pick up tomorrow. They had to install the FEL and swap wheels. I got a L3130 shuttle 723 FEL 4x4 AG tires for 16400. I think I did good. I do have to pick up though, they would not deliver for that price I would like to thank everyone on here that...

The best I have gotten is 15975 for the L3130 shuttle shift AG tires 4x4 and 513 loader. R4 was 900 extra and 723 FEL was 700 extra. Is this good or am I getting taken?

OK! Now how many of you have had the FEL bucket position rod go belly up? Secondly, the paint is falling off the Fel left arm near the bucket swivel pin. When hitting the stops with the bucket it slams into the arm and causes the primer and orange color coat to flake off like a Hungarian...

If I want to get the liquid out of my rear tires, (they came from the dealership with a mixture of antifreeze and water) can I have the valve stem positioned at the bottom of the rim and take the valve core out and let what will come out?

This is a legitimate post and I'm not a spy/clone/ company stooge/ and I don't like my L3130... Sorry! Had a specialist take the tractor for a pace test and results due this week. Seems the black smoke increases while RPM's decrease and the loader is cycled up or down.

Does anyone who owns an L3130 GST had any trouble with the wires on the left side and underneath the tractor getting pulled out while clearing brush? The tractor has a small guard to protect the wires, but I let a piece of privet hedge slip under the bucket instead of pushing it completely out...

I recall an earlier thread recommending installing bolt-on D-rings on the front part of the frame for chaining to when tieing the front of the tractor to the trailer. Planned on doing that today, but wasn't sure of where to install the D-rings. Attaching a picture to see if I'm looking at the...

Ramon49\'s post about his L3130! I think it's been great to see this kind of post. If nothing else, it will get those to think harder about their purchase. Fortunately for me, I was told by my dealer that the L3830 would be a better fit for me, my 84" finish mower and having just owned a...

I finished my 50 hour service and had a couple of question's to ask everyone. I have an L3130HST which has two hydraulic filters...one is the hydraulic filter and the other the HST filter. The manual says when installing the hydraulic filter to turn it...

Our toothbar from Markham Welding arrived yesterday. A friend of mine helped me install it. He welded a piece of 1/8" metal on either end of the toothbar mounting plate to make it extra snug. He hammered it onto the bucket cutting edge, it fit snug on the cutting edge. He suggested tack...

Uncle Sam may be giving me a little $$ back this year and I would like to use it to purchase a box blade. Any recommendations on brand, size, or features? I plan to use it to smooth and level out areas in my lawn and pasture, serve as a counterweight to my FEL, but nothing "extreme". Thanks...

Is it okay to use the green on road diesel fuel in a Kubota L3130? The service station in Stapleton, GA. only sells the on road taxed version of diesel fuel. I will pay more for it , but all I have to do is drive a few hundred yards from my place to the station and fill up. I really would...

Went to several dealers and this is what I got. Both with FEL. Kioti CK30 HST = $16,300 versus Kubota L3130 HST = $17,400 - gear $16,300 This seems to be very close in price. I thought Kioti was supposed to be a lot cheaper!!!!

Anybody have thoughts on a TC 33 vs 35? I would like to do some landscaping (box blade, landscape rake), mowing, FEL stuff, maybe drag some trees, etc. The Kubota line seems to be a bit less heavily made in their less than 30 hp tractors--the TC 33 looks to my untutored eye to have a heavier...

2004 HST L3130 with FEL 150 hours with 72\"FEL 16,900. Good price or not? What should I be paying? Thanks, Rich

I have been looking at the L3130 and the BX series tractors. I really like the size of the L3130 for general around the farm stuff. Digging post holes for fencing, Loader stuff, maybe digging out a pond but probably not, snow removal, grading a drive, tending a 2 - 4 acre garden, stump pulling...

Maybe this has been covered. When do you need to use the clutch with the GST other than when hooking up equipment to the 3 pt. hitch? Does anyone use the clutch when going from forward to reverse? Is it detrimental to use the clutch?

My new L3130 (with 723 FEL) arrived Monday the 27th and was put to work within 10 minutes -- had to pull my truck out of the mud it was stuck in. Pulled off to the side of the road in order to drive the tractor thru and when I walked back to get the truck, it was stuck big time. Had to get the...

My NEW 3130 HST with Curtis cab is a work of art now that I understand the HST. The removal of the FEL bucket 4 dowels/screws is a pain in the behind, takes me about 1.5 hours when I put on the new 7' snow blade. Any tips or ideas on how to improve !

Ive heard that some diesel engines like Cummings, a small amount of diesel fuel is bypassed from the injection pump back into the fuel tank to keep the fuel mixed and warmed. Does anyone know if the Kubota Grand L systems use this method? Are these engines especially prone to gelling or are...

I have decided on Kubota over JD 4310. Now I keep flip flopping on new versus used. My biggest concern is the difference between the 3010 and the 3130 models and then the new versus used decision. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Here they are: Private owner Used 2001 L3010 HST 230 hours...
