I'm new here and new to my L3130. I'm glad I found this place!

I only have about 11 hours on the tractor mainly using the FEL and a box blade.

Today I noticed that the ROPS was rubbing against the left fender as I was working. After shutting down, I noticed that the ROPS wasn't centered between the fenders with a large gap on one side and no gap on the other. Nothing seems unusual about the ROPS other than what I described. It could have always been like this, but I haven't noticed.

Is it normal to flex like this, or is my tractor bent?

I have a KIOTI and my ROPS was just barely rubbing the left fender. I hope that your tractor isn't flexing to cause this problem, but you may want to contact your dealer to see if something is loose or bent. I made a small adjustment and all is fine but, just to be sure, you need to check everything as this certainly isn't normal. Good luck.

The tranny/transaxle/gearboxes are all cast iron on an "L" series unit, so I doube they are bent. The ROPS and fenders are installed by the dealer as pare of the prep and something was probably installed incorrectly.

Sounds like a warranty repair to me (if there isn't a simple adjustment to make somewhere yourself.)
