You know I'm just trying to lighten things up. I really don't see the big deal. Really, why would I honestly care what brand tractor you buy?! If it works for you; great! I just honestly don't see the strong "buy what I bought" theme here on TBN. That's all.
Besides, I like humor. TBN isn't humorous anymore. What happened there? Make fun of the chrome mag wheels I put on my tractor with the spinners! I'm up for some fun. Heck, I am honestly considering a Tractor King tractor for a backup tractor for my "ranch". However, here's one to chew on. When sitting on the Tractor King tractor at Rural King today, I read the manufacturer plate that states the hp, build date, etc. This was only about 4 hours ago! On the build date; 11th month of 1997!!! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
Holy cow!! What's up with that??!! I'm dead serious. I can get a pic of the build plate tomorrow. Wouldn't you think that is a wee bit long to be sitting on a lot?!! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

I needed more lift capacity, not HP.
I guess if I got a tractor with more HP and equivent lift capacity to the L3130, you would not question that it differs from the CK30.
Let if I specifically go and seek out a tractor with 62% more lift capacity and the same HP and am willing to pay $3k for this benefit, you say it is the same 30HP tractor as the CK30.
Spending more money on HP is acceptable difference but spending more money on lift capacity is not an acceptable difference? This makes no logically sense.
If I buy a BMW with the same HP as a Mustang but a better suspension and overall handling they are still both equivelent?
Yet if I buy a Mustang GT vs another car with more HP yet similiar handling, they are NOT equivelent?
OK.. you are right.. the L3130 is an overpriced CK30 because they are equivelent. Thank you for making me see the light. I will go trade in my L3130 for a CK30 and go lift some twigs with the grapple. Great!

"There is no way I could effectively use the grapple if I would have used the CK30. So the CK30 was not an option, and I could not even make the CK30 do what I wanted if I threw $3000 at the problem. Understand?"
You bet. I understand that this is the only real difference that you have found and to you it is worth several thousand dollars. Most people won't put that big grapple on the 3130 or the ck30 so that aspect makes no difference. Got anything better for the benefit of the typcial user including the guy originally asking the question?
I was hoping you would at least be able to point out the higher 3ph capacity as a difference because that seems like it might matter.
You really should add to your angle. Since the lift capcity point is only a part of tractor use. Heck, what if the tractors were bought without loaders, would they then be nearly equivalent.
A loader does not make a tractor.

are you on something? you are too emmotional to make any logical sense. A loader does not make a tractor?? that is too much.. LOL! Sell your loader and save yourself a few thosand. You dont need it and doesn't make your tractor.
bye bye.. I will leave you to your own reality.

I can see you are just hung up on your brand. That and pride in your decision won't allow you to see beyond the loader capacity of a single tractor.
GL3130-4000$=CK30, closest thing Kubota has to the Kioti, so there. How do like them apples?
If you recall, that is what the original post was about.

That is key. I don't care what brand it is, it needs a cup holder. The problem I have found is that the cupholder vibrates too much to hold carbonation in the beverage for long. Rapid consumption of said adult beverage is required.
