    Time to Sell Tractor?

    I have a Kubota Grand L3130 that I purchased just about a year ago. I am about fed up with it and I am sure its my fault. In that time I have yet to find a situation where the FEL is of any use to me. I either stall when using it or get about two shovel loads in it. Never anything in...

    3130 - No High Range Forward

    This morning I mowed a few spots I missed last time, then put the box blade and took off again. A bit later I tried to move a few piles of dirt with FEL and couldn't do much. I thought I was taking too big of a bite. It was then that I found that I could not go forward in any of the four...

    Smoothing Out Rough Ground

    I have researched this and researched and haven't found anything that applies to my situation exactly. I have a bit of my property that is ROUGH, so rough it rattles everythong on the tractor when I try to mow it or even drive over it. I have suggestions on discing an area, then dragging it to...

    Looking at Buying a X310

    I currently have 10 acres of land. About 7 of those acres are heavily wooded and not applicable to this post. :) The other 3 acres are where my house is being built and where I have "grass" or at least something growing. My land at the road is about 270 feet wide and something like 1600...

    My Rusty Purchases

    Today after some looking I picked up a 6' box blade. It not pretty, but it'll work. Its a Southeast(IMCO), 7 rippers that are all there. It was listed for $400. I also got a 6' blade that in addition to the adjustable angle, it can also be adjusted horizontally. I think the tag said its...

    Leak on the Front End

    I have a L3130 4 wheel drive with a leak. I don't know all the names of the parts on it yet to do a proper search. It is just a small drip from someplace just on the inside of the front tire on the right side. What is it? :)

    Service Light on L3130

    So, I got my L3130 delivered and the service light is on. It was on yesterday and the guy showed me how to press the two buttons to reset it and it went off. Back on today though. Does the light on these tractors indicate a problem like a CEL on a car does or is it just a service reminder?

    Made my purchase!!

    Today I pulled the trigger on a used Grand L3130 4x4 with a 513 loader. It wasn't pristine, but had scratches from being used. I think it will work fine for me till I am ready to move to something else or it dies. :) They are going to bring it out to me tomorrow morning bright and early

    32 HP? Is it enough?

    Doing my tractor shopping and new is NOT in the cards for me. I have been given an allowance of $15,500 for a tractor and implements. I keep looking at the Kubotas online, they just seems to look better in the pics. Other colors don't seem to have the "beef" Used 32 HP seems to be about...

    Am I Going to Wear Myself Out?

    Soon my shop will be finished and I will at least have a place to keep a tractor out of the weather. So, I'm ready to buy. At one end of the spectrum I am looking at a $15,000 Kubota L4330 with all sorts of bells and whistles. Another option I am considering is a $4750 MF 150 that I would...

    Looking at a MF 150

    I am very close to buying my first tractor and one of my possibilites right now is a Kubota L4330. Lots of bells and whistles at $15,000. I am also looking at a MF 150 with 3900 hours priced at $4750 with no loader. Since I am one of those people with more time than money the MF is much more...

    Looking For a Tractor - Using the "Price on Craigslist" Method

    Yeah, I have been basically just looking at everything on CL that is not over 10K, or at least too far over. I don't see buying new when there is plenty of prefectly good equipment out there used. I look alot at the MF listings because I grew up around a MF-135, so its what I know. I am...

    New Member in Texas

    We are waiting to close on 10 acres in North Central Texas, 7 of which are heavily wooded. My grandfather had a MF 135 that I pretty much learned how to drive on and how to back a trailer. I know I am going to need some kind of tractor for this new property, just haven't been able to decide...
