L3130 vs L3400

[eserv]

It more or less comes down to trial and error and find out which was works best for you to grade out dirt. As a few have mentioned you need to finess the BB up and down to get an even spread. A 30hp tractor with a 6ft BB will do anything you want it to do. Its often times said with a Kubota you'll loose traction LONG before you loose hose power. So a little bit of a bog down is normal is any situation, after all these are tractors and not bulldozers. If you want to drag a box and not bog down get a 100hp tractor and a 6ft box, then I'm almost certaint you'll never bog down.

Well gee Eric, I'd say if you can't lug her down you're just running it in to low a gear!LOL

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.

Glad you and your new tractor made it safe and sound. When I'm pulling a trailer I always say a little prayer first. It is never a sure thing until you reach your destination and unload. It's kind of like having a loaded pulp wood truck in the woods. It's not a sure thing until you get it unloaded at the wood yard. You haven't lived until you have to pick up 4 cords of wood by hand after it fell off your truck when a tire dropped into a stump hole coming out of the woods. Ah, to be young again.

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.
