I do believe Ron is correct sir.
They are the same tractor except for the bore. In my book the weight is identical. I can't explain the 330# difference you found.
The bores are 4mm diameter different and so is the torque.
The L3430 has 33.6 net HP the L3130 has 31.0
That HP is measured at 2700 RPM. I have never needed to go WOT, 2300 is fine.
There may be a slight rounding error in the book as the PTO HP is claimed to be 3HP greater on the L3430, 27 vs 24.
The land speed is the same, etc, etc, etc.
No matter which you decide upon, get the more significant BH90 and LA723 if you can swing it. I can't imagine throwing the tractor around with a 3PH BH and not doing damage eventually. That's not to say damage would happen, but you will throw the tractor around if you are as enthusiastic as I am.
The BH90 dismount and re-mount is as simple and quick as claimed. Two hyd quick disconnects and two pins to pull.
One caution, the MMM is not compatible with the BH90 sub frame.
Sometimes a demonstrator is delivered to the job site so the potential customer can feel it out in a real world situation, that may explain the 50 odd hours on the clock.
I have stated in previous posts that if 31 HP is not enough for you, then 2.6 more HP is not gonna make your day. Actually when you think about it deeply it doesn't make a lot of sense to offer two different machines otherwise identical. Maybe I'm missing something.
Good luck, post the pics when it is delivered.

I've placed an order for the 3130HST with the BH90 and LA723. Total price including all taxes and delivery - 39k CAN. I got prices from JD and NH for equivalent machines but they were significantly more expensive.
Thanks to everyone who helped with my Kubota education. I'll post some shots of the beast once it's delivered.
