Price Check Price check on a L3130

Jubjub · May 19, 2005

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 detach from what I read and seen, it appears to be a standard skid steer design. So that means I can use any skid steer (bobcat) attachment? pallet forks, post hole diggers, etc? or will it work only with Kubota items?

Your price is in line with what others have payed for a similar tractor.
<font color="orange">Kubota </font> does not have model years. Tractor may be from last years stock. Is your tractor a new one?
Skid Steer attachments will fit the <font color="orange">Kubota </font> QA. Some TBNer's have had problems with skid steer attachments. But they are few.
Using some skid steer attachments (like post hole digger) may require a hydraulic hook up on front of your FEL.
When you have rented a set of QA pallet forks you will need to have a set around all the time.
Enjoy your new tractor. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

For my L3130, shuttle shift, R1's, La 723, I paid $16400. The R4's were $500 more. As for the HST and QA I dont know what my dealer would have charged.

That shuttle shift is about a 1700$ option on these tractors. QA should add about 600$. Good deal on that 3130 Bill

I'm closer to Chattanooga and I shopped pretty hard. 3130DT, 723 loader, R4s (not filled), QA HD round bucket, delivered for $17,100. Not sure what effect the "finance charges" have on the price you're being quoted.

I think you'll love the tractor. Worst thing about it is my wife likes it so much, she wants to drive! See attached.

Took a little drive today and i'm now a proud owner of a L3130. Got a little better price. $18150. Got $50 off for picking it up myself, and $300 off for installing the loader myself.

Ended up going with some massive turf tires. The fronts are 12.5" wide. The rear tires on my massey 1125 are 14"

What's really amazing is that this is only $1000 more than a New Holland TC30 I priced out. The 3130 outclasses the tc30 so bad it's not funny.

I'll be sure to post some pics when I get the loader installed. Too bad the loader controls were missing from the crate, else i'd have it finished tomorrow.
