Congrads!
She's a beauty Sean. Ive got a L3130, too and love it!

The neat thing about that orange 'bota, is that if you ever forget where you parked it in those minn-e-snow-da woods, you can easily find it! look for the orange glow!!!!

It occurred to me yesterday--that's the answer to one of the classic questions--why buy Orange, over Green? So that your tractor doesn't just blend in with the terrain, but stands out so that all your neighbors know that you bought a tractor--and are then able to properly envy you.

:O))

Good looking tractor...

Why'd you go with a 60" mower? I've a 60" Befco too...you'll like Befco!

But your tractor could easily handle a 72" mower. I got mine as a package deal with a smaller Deere (a '91 670). which did great.
Now that I've a 790 (8 more PTO Horse power), a 72" unit would be a great match.
Your Kubota has around the same, or a bit more PTO HP then my 790...you might want to talk to your dealer about trading up the 60" Befco to a 72" unit before you put any hours on it.

Enjoy the pretty orange machine...blends in well with the leaves this time of year!

Your new package looks good. Is there any way I could get some more shots of the front blade set up, how it attaches to the tractor to the blade. I am debateing on trying to build one or buy one since snow could fly before I get-r-done

I think the green gobblins hit your new machine. I actually think I can see it better now in the woods.

Nice machine, welcome to the forum. Post some action pics and above all, BE SAFE. Have fun...Kyle

I actually lost my Kubota in the woods for over an hour. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Kyle I was looking for a picture of your JD to color it the appropriate color and could not find any. HMMMMM /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif It is green and lost.

That is a real nice setup, we have a 3130GST with LA723 and it is sweet, but alas now is the time to stop taking photos and go get to work!!! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I received my L3130 two weeks ago and love it. The other attachement that I have is the quick attach forks that I have found to be of great benefit cleaning up downed debris from 2 hurricans. Really easy to change and can load without getting down and manually putting tree debris and logs into the bucket.

Enjoy, I sure am enjoying mine!
