I am in the research stage and it appears that you can not get a 3430HST with factory cab and BH90 backhoe. Anyone have a factory cab Kubota and a hoe on the 3430 or 3830? Checking the archives I have found a larger Grand L with a Woods hoe (apparently 3ph) that uses an extension. For those that have the factory cab what is your opinions? Is it a worthy 6k add on? I mostly am interested in the cab for snow removal comfort but would like to hear comments about them for finish mowing / brush cutting. I will be mowing a couple acres and rough cutting several also but not as frequently. My snow removal duties usually take 3-4 hours per snow (including all the relatives and friends)(Pennsylvania weather). I am also considering the John Deere 3000 series that is to be coming out soon. Any comments on John Deere 30 - 35 HP compacts with cab and backhoe would also be appreciated.

I hear nothing but praise for the top and tilt. Please tell me why it is so valuable. What can it do that the standard and adjustable lift arms can't, other than speed up the process and save time by not having to get off the tractor to tilt a blade or implement manually. I do understand that being able to apply down pressure would be valuable but what else? Educate me please.

Yes I will be probably trading the Allis in. It is a 4WD 6140 with loader. Just want to get something more modern and something I can mount a MMM on. The Allis is a powerhouse so I hope I don't regret going down in HP.

Hello, first time post so here goes: I am considering a 3130 with hydro transmission, R4 tires,quick attach, folding rops, largest loader with toothbar and a backhoe. By reading in the forums I hear about Top n Tilt. Exactly what is it and how much will it add to the price? Is it worth it?<br>
Also, thru reading the posts it sounds like a good idea to add rear remotes. How many should I order and why?<br>
Any recommendations on the backhoe would be appreciated. It will be for general homeowner use and the easier off and on the better.<br>
Any other add on options that are recommended would also be a real help.<br>
For 3130 owners: what is the largest finishing and brush cutting size mowers that the 3130 with hydro can handle well? Can the 3130 hydro dig into settled shale/dirt piles easily to obtain a full loader bucket?<br>
Sorry for all the 'rookie' questions but I want to get this right the first time. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
