Is the 3130 beefy enough to handle a 3 pt. hoe without the
"use very carefully" warning? I'm checking out the kubota 4690B.

I've been using one for occasional fairly light work for about five years without problems. The tractor is a Ford 1710 and the hoe is not particularly strong or large for the tractor size. Works for me but there are too many factors to make a responsible claim that it'd work for another hoe, tractor, soil, operator etc. ....

Kubota equipment is built to with stand the use that it is designed for. That is a Kubota match and I'd say you shouldn't have to worry at all. I wouldn't! ....

I have also been considering a 3PH hoe for my 3130 and have heard all the talk about the advantages of having a subframe that ties the undercarraige together so the stress of the hoe doesnt pull the tractor apart. The HD loader (L723) on the Grand Ls come with a framework that ties the loader subframe into the rear axle. Would this accomplish the same thing? Is there a weakness in the design of the Grand Ls that they need the extra support of this frame or does the frame actually make them marginally stronger than other tractors without it? I hope it makes them stronger because that was one of the things that I liked about the Grand L when I bought it. ....
