Finally, I have made up my mind...after playing around with various brands of loaders and backhoes, I decided to proceed with Kubota brands on both. Got a good deal that helped. Today, I committed to purchase a new L3130 (DT, 4WD, R4's) with a LA723 loader (quick attach) with a BH90 backhoe. I...

I am purchasing a new L3130 (4WD) with a LA723 loader and a BH90 backhoe. The dealer offers a fiberglass canopy for $350. I have seen one of these in person and they look good. What I don't know is how well it holds up. I have a lot of small trees with low branches that will hit it some and it...

I am purchasing a new 3130 (FST - 4wd) with LA723 loader and BH90 backhoe. I am specifying the R4, Industrial tires. I noticed that some are purchasing "low profile" tires. What is the advantage to low profile tires as opposed to standard sized Industrial tires? I like the standard sizes that I...

I have the chance to purchase a new Kubota L3130 with a 723 loader and a BH90 backhoe. The price from the dealer is good and he only sells Kubota backhoes. I have been looking at Woods and Bush Hog backhoes as the initial quotes on the Kubota backhoes were out of my league. I was pretty excited...

I am finalizing my decision on the purchase of a new L3130 tractor with a FEL and backhoe. Based on the quotes that I have, purchasing with a Bush Hog brand FEL (2045) and a Bush Hog backhoe (BH750) is $1000 - $1500 less than a comperable Woods brand and $2000 to $2500 less than Kubota brands...

This is my first posting on this site and I appreciate any comments. I have went full circle in my tractor search. I initially planned on buying a Mahindra 2615 4WD with loader and backhoe. After deciding that it was a good tractor but a little too small, I found a FarmTrac 360DTC (39hp) with...
