$3000 drink holder

I am trading my 3010 HST bought Jan 01 with 215 hours (tractor only) with turf tires on a new 3130HST with turf tires.
Feature for feature the 3130 is an improvement over my 3010 which I really liked. The only drawbacks I can see is the extra 500#'s weight of the 3130 and it's larger turning radius (8.9 vs 7.6 feet). The 3130 has a 5.5" longer wheelbase and the front axle is set forward further. My dealer picked the 3130 up today at Rickenbacker and started assembly. Will get the 1st of the week if the weather cooperates for a clean delivery. I don't know yet what the 3130 costs or what my trade brought, but the difference is $3000 plus tax.

I took a long time looking at many different makes and all the features they have and i wore out more than a couple of books comparing and after i made my decision on which one i liked i found this site and seems like i made the right decision and my dealer delivered a 3130 with a loader on it last weekend and i know now for shure i made the right choice for me,very nice fit and finish,smooth trans with the hst,i cant wait for the weather to clear up and act like spring.

Graydog-congratulations on your new 3130 and that you can use it soon. Stopped by my dealer Friday afternoon and the 3130 was assembled. Will probably get on Tuesday. Went out today and unhooked the rear blade and removed the front bumper on my 3010. Sure was sad for me as I really liked the 3010. I hope the bigger turning radius of the 3130 and it's larger footprint doesn't come back to haunt me as my wife uses the tractor more than I.

I just sat on my first 3130 today and it is very nice. The seat and the overall feal is really terrific.
If I get another Kubota though, I think it will be an L35 -if they ever come out with a model with HST transmission. I am going to have to have a really big jump in performace before I get rid of my 3010.
Good luck with your new machine-it is REALLY nice!
