Welcome to the site. I regularly pull my 5x10 utility trailer with an L3130 using the three point hitch. My hitch is an EZ-Hitch purchased off of this site, and I've never have any problems or safety issues. The tractor regularly pulls loads of firewood or brush using the trailer and has seen greater than 40 hours of towing time.
Hooking up the trailer is a breeze as you lower the hitch with the hydraulics, back under the tongue and raise the hydraulics to make the connection. I do the same thing with my log splitter with absolutely no issues. I side benefit is the ability to level the trailer using the three point hitch. The swinging drawbar is way too low for any of my towable items.
In theory, a load at the rear of the trailer could cause the three point hitch to raise up. I have not had this happen in two years of operation. Just be smart about it or use teh safety chain method described in the hitch instructions.
