Is a L3130 underpowered??

My five year old L31-30 has done everything I have tried with it. I am very happy with it.

I had a L3130 HST for four years and 400hrs.Did all I asked,six foot front snowplow(with sub-frame),two/12 bottom plows,six ft. brush-hog,ect.
Really liked it ,traded mostly for a cab.

Has everyone with a loader found it to be powerful enough? Will it pick the back of the tractor off the ground without ballast?

Yes, it will!

 

[kuboman]

Yes, it will!

Do you have any idea what weight it will pick with the pallet forks?

 

[hawkeye08]

Sorry, I don't know how much it will lift with pallet forks. I just know it is very handy for moving things around on pallets. It lifted my LandPride mower off the trailer pretty easy.

I think the 723 loader is rated for about 1500lbs,if you extend with pallet forks this will be less.the only problem I ever had was with a HD 7ft brush hog I unloaded off a trailer,I could lift but very lite in back.My rears were loaded.I would guess this weighed about 1200lbs.,but I couldn't get to the middle of it.This BH was NOT for my tractor but a 85hp JD.Very capable for most work;I upgraded tractors and loader capacity...my choice..like I said I really liked the L3130 If I had purchased with a cab I wouldn't have traded.
I think I read on here that Kubota loaders are numbered according to lift power.Number x 2.2(kilo)
723x2.2=1590lb
854x2.2=1878lb.
ect.
