What's everyones take on a L3130

[RPK]

I've got 150 hrs on my 3130 w/HST, 723 w/QA loader and forks. I have a 7' Land Pride rake and a Kubota BH90 backhoe. I have no complaints. It was recommened by the dealer to get the bigger hoe. You may want to consider that. I also have loaded rear tires(R-4s). I am in the woods most of the time and that adds stability. It's a great midsize tractor. I am buying a tilt bed trailer now. With the hoe attached a 20' trailer is the shortest that will work.

I have a 3130 GST w/ 723 loader and it does everything I want it to. I wish I had a backhoe for it and if I do get one it wouuld probably be the BH 90..

OHIOBOY, yes the dealer was also cutting his price on the L3130. Also offered a much better trade-in value on my L2800 than did the JD dealer (on a 3320). There are also several hydraulics options on the Grand L30's. These include up to 3 Remote Hydraulic Control Valves and a mid PTO. I didn't take time to thoroughly test the L3240 HST characteristics.
