Kubota L3130
When down to local dealer and made the deal on a new L3130 dt-f today. Also got the 723 loader with the heavy duty bucket with QA. $17,900. They did not have the bucket in stock so it will be next week before I pick it up. Now I have to find me a good trailer to go with it /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Congrats on your new tractor. I'm sure you will like the Grand L with the LA723. There are some users on TBN that have the L3130 with the LA723 and they seem to be pleased with this combination.

Welcome to TBN.

I have a 3130 FST with the 723 also, the loader upgrade is a wise choice!, it gives you sooo much more capacity... I have had mine for about a month now and its great...

Congrats on your new tractor. It's a great tractor. Had mine out last night in the blizzard. It moved the snow with no problem at all. Have Fun. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Welcome to TBN, nice first post. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Congrats on the new machine, you're going to love what a Grand L can do for you. Is this your first tractor? I'm not sure what, if anything, you're going to be able to compare your 3130 to, but be prepared to be impressed with how much you can lift with that 723 loader!

Speaking of which, there have been MANY threads here on ballasting for loader work, I could dig up a few links if you'd like. Also, since you mentioned a trailer, I'm wondering if you're going to be using your machine for business? Either way (business or personal), I'd love to hear what you'll be using your tractor for.

On trailers: I trailer my Grand L, and a 4 1/2 ton, 18-footer does the trick nicely with the loader and a good-sized rear attachment.

Anyway, congrats again on a fine tractor,

John

Thanks everyone for the welcome! It will be the weekend before I get the tractor. Dealer (Central Carolina Power Equipment- great guys!) had to send a truck to S.C. to get the heavy bucket (L-2240).
I have 6 ac. that we will be building a house on this spring and will use it for road work and landscape improvement. I am also getting started in bee keeping and will us it to move hives to fields for pollination.
I am going to look at a 16ft beavertail trailer tommarrow- 2 axle, 7000lb with ramps. Will be looking around at bush-hogs and box blades also. Trying to line out the insurance on the tractor now.
I have only driven 1 tractor about 25 yrs ago, but have driven fork lifts, dump trucks... The new tractors are much nicer /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

You will love the tractor. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

One thing about the 16' beavertail with 7000# GVWR.

First the 16' will be ok for tractor and loader. I have a L3130 and loader and same trailer as you are looking at. If I put a box blade on the tractor with the FEL I need a minimum of 18'. And forget hauling the loader and bushhog.

Second the 7000# GVWR, with the 3130, loaded tires, FEL, you are pushing the overloaded mark. If you go over 10,000 # GVWR you need class A license. You may want to look at least 18' (longer if you plan on hauling the FEL and bushhog) and 9000# +/- GVWR.

If you drop the loader when you haul the hog and boxblade you will be ok.

Just food for thought.

congrats on the new tractor and welcome to TBN. As for insurance I don't know if you have looked at the Kubota insurance, that is what I ended up going with after checking on my own company and a couple others...good luck...
