Just turned over 1000 hours on my 2006 L3130 HST Grand. I purchased the tractor new. I have to say that I am extremely impressed how well this machine has held up. I have had absolutely no mechanical issues in the past 15 years. Just fluids, filters, and grease. It still has the original battery and still starts on cold New England mornings. When the battery finally goes, I hope I can find one as good as OEM. The only minor issue I have encountered is the fuel petcock leaks when I turn it off to change the filter. Likely a 15 year old O-ring needs to be changed but thats it. The tractor is used for field mowing, moving horse manure, and knocking down brush. By no means has it ever been babied. The loader is beginning to get a bit loose but that is expected for what I put it through.
My only complaint is that the R4 tires suck in the snow. Maybe I should have stuck with ag's. Do not wish to deal with chains or studs so it is what it is.
I do not neglect to recommend Kubota to anyone who asks about my tractor or the brand.
