Re: Purchase a Kubota 3130? Have Tranny questions
Hi rufus, I have a L3130 DT with a LA723 loader. I can give you some insight from the gear tractor (TRUCK) side of the fence. I use mine for brush hogging (5 foot hog, that's all you will want on steep hills with the 3130) skidding logs, pulling loads of wood and clearing land in WV. The 3130 is not burn up with power in high range, you will find it is quite able in low range. It is nimble in the woods and the loader is more than I expected. I like the foot throttle on the tractor, it gives you the ability to vary engine rpms while using the loader. One other note, you may want to consider the skid steer quick attach for the bucket, it is nice to drop that bucket and lose some weight from the tractor. Also, a heavy duty bucket is well worth the $$$$. Good luck. Have to get back to driving my "TRUCK", since I don't have a caddy.
