Thanks. I agree that 5 foot is probably all I can power sufficiently. Now I just need to find one that will shift 6 inches to one side so I can remove one tire track.

I am researching tillers and hope to buy one this week. Wanted to bounce it off of you guys to see if you had any wisdom to share. My L3130 is 6ft wide but only has 25 PTO HP so I can't run a 6ft tiller. I want to get the largest one I can that offsets so I can clear one side of the tracks...

Created an album with a few pictures if you want to take a look. Rained most of today but looking forward to getting it out tomorrow and moving some rocks and firewood as the first order of business.

Got the tractor, had a blow out on the trailer an hour into the trip back, took 3 hours to get back on the road due to a stipped lug bolt that I had to have cut off with a torch. But the tractor is safe and sound in its new home. Pics coming tomorrow.

Thanks for the input fellas. Heading out this morning to pick up the 3130. Four hours away so I hope it is as advertised when I get there.

I'm curious if you guys know whether a 6ft box blade would bog down a 42hp mahcine? I assume there is some technique involved with properly using the BB or is just a matter of brute force when it comes to it digging in and filling up and continuing to pull?

The issue of pulling the weight of the tractor plus whatever else is behind it is something I had thought about in the 3130 vs 3400 debate. It seems like the extra weight of the 3130 would be an advantage in most cases but will it be an advantage or disadvantage for pulling the box blade around?

I asked the man who owns the 3130 if he ever encountered any scenarios where the tractor was underpowered. He said the only time is using his 6ft box blade on his steep driveway. When it fills up it bogs the tractor down. Anyone experienced anything similar with a 30 HP tractor? Is it a concern...

Only reason is I was told by the Kubota dealer here that it lowers resale value if it isn't made by Kubota. But it doesn't bother me otherwise if it works correctly. I can't find much on the Internet in terms of reviews or real world experience but the few I found seem to be positive. Woods is...

Agree and I am that is how I am leaning. I have been torn between these and a couple larger options. I started this search looking at a L4400, then M5700, then L4240 (which I really want. It has a 4in1 bucket, top/tilt). But these larger tractors are 17-18k and I'm having a hard time justifying...

Thanks Hook. Agreed on the loader, I'd prefer it was Kubota if for no other reason that resale value down the road. Are you happy with your LA513? The Woods loader has a 66 in bucket, quick attach, breakaway at pivot pins is 3020 lbs, lift capacity at pivot pins is 1375 lbs. Bucket reach is 28...

I had posted a couple weeks back about an L4240. I have now determined that for my needs a 25 hp (PTO) tractor should suffice. I am looking at two used Kubotas...one is an L3130 and the other an L3400. Both have 300 or so hours,both have loaders (3130 has a Woods 1012 loader), both come with box...

Thanks for the heads up on the jerky 3PH. It is being sold by an individual. They have a 6' rotary cutter so I will definitely get it hooked up and test it. They currently have a 6' scrape blade on it and it didn't do it with that. Also, one thing I noticed yesterday is the paint on the hood...

Yes the M5700 does have the shuttle. To Bulldog's point, I think I have come to understand that 4400 is all I need. I visited a couple Kubota dealers today and I can get a new L3800 configured identical to the 4400 out the door for $17,500. They say I don't need more than a 30hp tractor. Not...

Yes, both are 4x4. I didn't mention it but L4400 also comes with a 6' King Kutter rotary cutter and 6' KK scrape blade. These add a little more the the value although I dont really have much use for a rotary cutter. Very good point about the 2k difference being used for implements. I just hear...

I am new to tractors and this forum. I have 8 acres of land, closer to 5 once you account for the house, pond, buildings, etc that I need to work. I'm looking at a 2006 L4400DTF that has 39 hours. Price is 17k. Also looking at 2003 M5700 with 350 hours. Price is 19k. Both have a FEL. My...
