After much research and price shopping (much here), I am pretty sure what to get. I will probably get a L3130 HST with R4 tires. The accessories will be a bush hog 6' box blade and a Bush hog SQ600. I may get a tiller and a back hoe at a later time. I will probably purchase in the next week or two.

Since I do not have much to cut now (approx 1 to 3 acres), I think the 3130 will be big enough. I would like to get the 3830 but can not justify the $2000 price difference. This could be applied to other attachments later. Also if I need a larger tractor later, I am sure the 3130 will have a good return if sold used or traded for a larger tractor.

Thanks to all the people providing info here. I would still like any comments you may have.

Hello all.

I am considering a tractor to keep some commercial property looking good and some box scrapper work. I am thinking about the L3130 or L3830 with industrial tires and 4wd. I am leaning towards the hydro transmission.

I know that the hydro has less pto power, thats why I am thinking about the L3830. Also with the industrial tires there is less difference in price ($1500 - $2000). Also the new interest rates sound real good.

As I understand I can use a 5 foot bushhog with the gear drive 3130's and would need to go smaller with the hydro 3130. But with the L3830 hydro I could possibly use a 6 foot bush hog.

I do not need a loader at this time since I have a bobcat loader, but would like a backhoe at a future date.

Any advice or oppions anyone has would be helpful.

Thanks,
Randy
