3830 with 3130 running gear?

[grandad]

A low-rider Kubota ? Little chain steering wheel and some fuzzy dice on the ROPS would also be cool! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

That way I could get a cab......but then you run into the fact that if you get a cab, you can't have a backhoe.

See attachment...

L3130 tractor...
LA723 loader...
BH90 backhoe...
Curtis cab...
Gear transmission...

Have no performance issues with this setup...

Cab does not interfere w/ the backhoe at all...

Bought from Kubota dealer in west-central Vermont...

Maybe there's a "safe" Kubota approved way to increase the horsepower on the L's... /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Like changing the fuel injector's or somethin'...

<font color="black"> </font> Not sure what you mean. I saw a 3130 with a Curtis Cab operating with a 90 BH outside my office window a couple weeks ago. Granted, you operate the hoe "outside" the cab, but there is nothing to stop you from having a cab and a hoe. <font color="black"> </font>

Mike,

I'm talkin' about a factory cab with AC and heater /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Dave,

I was thinking factory cab, but I do really like your Curtis? setup. You can take the doors off and such. Factory model you can't.

I've seen that pic before, but forgot how nice it looks....I appreciate it you sending it again.

I need to drag a fairly large boxblade (6')......I like the idea of the 3130, but don't want to be caught without enough HP/weight. Maybe the 3130 is the way to go if I drop back to a 5' boxblade.

I gotta check the weight and hydraulic specs on the two again.

I drove a 4330 recently and it seemed huge (same tires size as the 3830)...maybe that's just because I'm coming from a pipsqueak BX. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

should not be a problem. the dealer get the tires and tractors seperately. when i bought my 3830 all three dealers i delt with were more than willing to put any tire i wanted on the tractor. i did see on a board somewhere not long ago that someone ordered one like that for the mmm to fit with the r4 tires. the smaller tires will also increase the pulling power of the tractor buy dropping the final drive ratio. the spedo would just need to be set to a setting of 2404 to be correct as the setting for turf tires on both the 3130 and the 3830 is the same.

The doors lift right off the 2 hinge pins... mine is a "soft-sided" Curtis cab... plastic, not glass on the doors...

Can get glass panel doors too... "hard sided" cab I guess they call it... dunno if those doors remove easily...

I did get the optional rear glass w/ wiper instead of the roll up plastic per dealer's recommendation...
