I may be a bit late, but here is my input.
I would go with the TC30. I have seat time on it, but not the Bota so I am partially biased there. But, my reason is they are basically the same machine. The 1000 lbs, weight difference is something but there are ways to do that. Besides I would rather temporily make my machine heavier than have it full time heavier.
Hmm. I was trying to get to hte point that for 3K, you could get all kinds of goodies. That is where the real usefullness of a tractor pays off in my book.
Hydraulic Top Link - Price less or 300-500 for remotes and cylinder....
Box Blade -
Scraper -
Tiller,
Who knows , but 3K can buy some nice goodies. I would rather have the goodies!!!!

Timmah ... based on what you've outlined, you should be looking at comparing the TC30 with Kubota's B7800.
The L3130 is a different class of tractor. If it's MASS you want, I'd be looking at a Kioti CK30 - similar in spec to the above 2 tractors but with much more inert weight.

Could somebody relieve my ignorance here? Just what is a "harvest return"? Is that like something coming off lease or a former rental unit or what? I'm completely unfamiliar with the term.
they lease them in california to the grape growers for about two months for harvent then return them and they are sold highly discounted, similiar to a dealer demo at a car lot....
I am going with the 3130 FST with FEL and Industrials, just submitted credit app about a hour ago

One thing.. yes.. the tc-30 is more of an economy tractor.. but don't let that scare you for one minute... You are doing without bell's and whistles.
I used to own a Nh 1920.. now that's a bell and whistle laden model ( most of the XX20 series were ).. I liked the whistles and all.. but.. the fact of the matter is you get more hp per $ when you get an economy tractor. I looked over the 3010s for a while when I was looking for a bigger tractor.. settled for a 7610s.. the XX10s were more economy than bell and whistle laden. spartan op platforms.. plain dases.. etc... Good hp per dollar though.. Get whichever you want.. but don't let a good deal scare you because it has an 'economy' tag glued to it. economy = value depending on how you look at it.. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Does this mean we can watch the Kubota forums for pictures? /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
Congratulations! I think your $16k was well spent. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
