Looking at L3130DT-F

[North GA]

I am looking to replace my old Ford 2000 3cyl gas that has given me 25 years of dependable service. I like the L3130 DT and the dealer gave me the following out the door delivered price:

L3130DT-F FST Trans, R4 Tires filled, LA723 Loader with 72" Skid Steer bucket $16,500 cash

Should I tell him to deliver the unit or continue shopping?

Here's a good guide that Bill G from TX posted on a site last night that I was reading. Good gouge, good guide, but remember it's just a guide. You can get an idea of what's costing what and the dealers pricing. Also remember, you should be able to get stuff listed in the guide at a cheaper price with a little negotiation

Just scroll down to find what you are looking for.

Wish I could help more, but I don't have a loader...don't know what they cost other than what's in the guide in the above link.

That sounds like an excellent price. I paid $18,000 out the door for my L3130 DT with only the LA513 loader, R4's filled, and 5' Woods Box Blade. If it's what you want, I'd say have it delivered.

I am a newby at tractors. I just bought a L3130, 66 inch FEL, Ag tires filled, DT transmission, for $16,400. If you like the feel of it, do not hesitate over a few bucks. In the long run, your happiness will count.

I may be wrong (most likely am)but doesn't the "F" in L3130DT-"F" stand for 2 wheel drive?

Or is it FST?

L3130DT-F

Sorry about the "F". Tractor is 4FD. Dealer mentioned that the F was folding ROPS. I really don't know.

Thanks for your input about the price range. It appears to be in the ballpark and the unit seems to be of acceptable quality. I am buying Kubota because my Dad has had such good service with his 1983 unit.

Be easy on us new Kubota lookers. We might add or delete a letter here and there but we can recognize quality when we see it.
