L3400 vs Grand L3130

[curt1]

For the price difference, I would go with the L3130 and LA723 loader with quick attach, heavy duty bucket and tooth bar. As far as loading the tire's, I just unloaded mine and had to have new inner tube's installed in my tire's for a cost of $93.06. The reason I unloaded mine was so I could install tire sealant to help reduce flats from thorn's, etc.. Then I put a set of wheel weight's on. Personally, I like this option better as you have some protection from flat's and have the weight with the option of easily/cost effectively removing/adding the weight when you want/need to.
I am sure either model will serve you well. Good luck in your purchase!

Get the LA723 loader if you can possibly afford it. The small amount of extra money (I know small amounts do add up and at some point you have to say enough), would be well worth it down the raod.

I was on the waiting list for the L3400 with delivery expected in late August. I began looking at the in-stock L3130 with a 723 loader and quick attach bucket with bolt-on edge for about $2,200 more. I bought the L3130 and I believe I have a superior tractor with a much better loader for a very reasonable additional cost.

I would agree, especially if you have any serious loader work to be done. Congratulations and welcome to TBN!
