Kubota L3130
Hi,

Just wanted to post what my final L3130 configuration looks like. It took the dealer a while to get this all set up for me.

-New L3130 HST with 723 FEL with Quick Attach.
-Borgford BG-5 Quick Attach Grapple. 3/4" thick tines. This thing is well built like a tank.
-Alternate Kubota front control values mounted just behind oil filter, towards rear tire. This value features a third control value with electic control for Grapple open/close function.
- Kubota fender mounted joystick using an L-39 optional handle with electic side buttons for Grapple open/close functions.
- Standard Kubota 72" Quick Attach Bucket with Woods Toothbar. Three hooks welded to top of bucket.
- Markham Welding Grubber Quick Attach Bucket, for helping me remove stumps and light trenching work.
- R1 AG tire set from an L4330. These are wider in front and back then the stock R1s found on the L3130 and are both 6 ply. The L3130 are 6 front/4 back and recently changed to 4 ply front and back. boo! I wanted tougher and wider fronts for the strong front loader. The Grapple is 600#+ by itself. Because the overall dia of the L4340 R1 tire set was slightly larger then the L3130 R1 set it was easiest to just use the complete set both front and rear. The back going to 6 ply was a bonus. Tires mounted at second most widest position. Works out to about 69.5" overall tire width. Still debating if I should have set them out to the widest postion at 73" overall, std bucket is 72". Tires filled with "Environmental Friendly" Antifreeze.
-Woods BB60 rotary cutter with shear pin in gear box.
-Woods GB72 medium duty box scrapper. Customized with three vertical rods welded to back to allow me to add additional weight (barbell type weights).
-No additional Rear Remotes for now.I will see how long I last withone them.

I can take some photos if anyone is interested. Total cost of the whole setup was around $26k.

Ditto Ditto Ditto to what KennyV said. I can't read so I need the pics.

All the best, it sounds like you will be happy for a long time and I bet your new sweetheart won't be sleeping outside.

Photo of the L3130 with Borgford BG-5 Grapple, Woods BB60 brush cutter mounted. You can see the fender mounted joystick in photo as well as the Woods GB72 Box Scraper with Rods welded onto the back in the photo. Notice the wider L4330 tires compared to stock L3130 tires. The Grapple is around 600-700#. The fronts are hardly showing signs of the load with normal tire pressure.

Sorry, I didn't wash it. I took the photo in the middle of a project today.

Sorry the photo is so small. 100,000 bytes is kind of tough.
Here is a close up of the joystick.
