I received my new HST 3130 and I love it, I have one question though. I installed my own 513 front end loader and that works fine, but my 3 point hitch does not go up, is there something I am missing. Thanks

Congratulations on your new L3130! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine. I can't help you on your hydraulic problem without seeing your installation. I am sure that TBNers sharper than I in hydraulics will chime in soon.
Their is a 3pt. speed adjustment knob under the seat for the 3pt. I would start their and back track. You know the hydraulics are working. Perhaps, call the dealer and see if their are any common errors regarding your issue.
You will love your tractor! The only issue is when be sure to do heavy work in low range, because the HST does bog down is (M & H) if your not careful with the foot lever when working the tractor hard.

After you check the 3pt speed knob as suggested above, check the
plumbing on the loader hyd valve connections to the tractor. I don't have an
Lxx30, but other Kubotas put the loader hyd valve in series with the
3pt valve in an open center configuration. There are 2 settings on the
hydraulic block on the tractor for when a loader valve is installed (or not).
Not 100% sure, but the power beyond port on the loader valve must be connected back to the block under the floor board to power the 3pt. I have a L4330 and that is how mine appears to be plumbed.
I assume the 3pt worked just fine prior to the loader install. Correct?
