Congrats on the new tractor.
The photo isn't working for me.
Take pictures of the cool things that you use the 3130 on.
Have fun.
Be safe.
Wear the seatbelt.
Be careful.
Be careful not to roll over sideways.
No passengers.

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Just got a L3130. Can't wait to start diggin. Any advice for a newbie tractor owner? : /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif )</font>
The two words I try to remember constantly when using the loader are "low and slow". This means keep the load as low as possible and your speed down. This, along with proper counterweight will help keep you from rolling over.
And always wear your seatbelt!
I assume there's no need to tell you to have fun? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Nice trator /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
It could be pleasant to see it on a pic.
About safety... the same as the others said.
I'd say, when you move in tight areas... move SLOW. Those things are very powerful and can easily damage anything on his path (car, trailer, house, tree, barn... curious neighbours /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif)

What implements do you have?
Have fun

Steve.....You want to dig? Gotta get a toothbar! The most productive and least expensive "attachment" you can buy. Tons of info on here about tooth bars.
Always give a quick glance behind you before you hit the reverse pedal....dogs, kids, cats, cars, siding, trailers, expensive plants, fences, trees, shrubs, people...especially if you get a tooth bar. They are nasty.
Turn the engine off when you leave the machine. You don't need to the let the diesel idle like a 18 wheeler. Especially when you are near the PTO or the loader.
One other thing I can think of is pulling stuff. Always use the draw bar. There are some good recent articles from Skypup in the safety section. Definitely worth reading what he posted.
