Hi all, this is my first time here, please be kind.
I'm looking at a new L3130, 72" Woods finish mower, 5' used Woods tiller. I have 46 acres, pasture, woods ,and low ground that I've been working with a 650 Satoh and 446 Case. Any suggestions, on this new tractor, the right one? I'll keep the old equipment.
Thanks
Bill

Bill I do not know how big your other two tractors are? but with 46 acres you need a 5030 as a minimum, and most likely bigger.

How much of the 46 acres will be routinely cut, tilled, or otherwise maintained with the new tractor? How much loader capacity do you need? Any other information to help us all let you know how to spend your money? :)

I have a 650 Satoh, 446 Case, and a 580D backhoe for loader. I'm looking at the L3130 for mowing about 5 acres a week with some trim work by smaller tractor. Mowing between trees on 18 acres of CREP program twice a year with 5' rotary mower. Tiller for large garden and general spot work, around landscape type work.
Thanks

Based on your stated plans for the tractor, I'd say it would be a great fit. It sounds like you are not in the position many get in of "probably or possibly" needing a larger tractor within a few months or year. I'm not familiar with the other tractors, but sounds like the Case may take care of all your larger needs. You might consider the L3430/L3830 just to benefit from greater PTO hp for a med-duty cutter rather than a lighter duty if you need it. The L3830 also has a greater capacity FEL if you need that.

The L3130/3430/3830 all use the LA723 loader. You have to move up to the L4330 to get a larger loader. The L3130 can use the lesser LA513 but I would not reccommend it.

SORRY, my bad! You would think I would have all that down since I researched all the Grand L models for so long before I bought the 5030! Thanks for correcting me :)

Hey - sometimes I forget where I am going from one end of the living room to the other, except to the bathroom. Ah the joys of an enlargwed prostate.

I see you pull a 6 foot Box Blade with your 3130. Is it a light or HD? Does it have any problems pulling it???
