I have the same truck but a '98 model, auto tran. I get 16.5 highway, 75 mph. I changed to synthetic rear differential lube, recommended for trailer pulling, and got an extra 1 mpg.

I had a similar problem many years ago with an old 4x4 truck that would not disengage the front axle after use. I had to put it in reverse and back up several feet to unwind the gearing, then it would come out of four wheel drive easily. The tractor may not be set up the same but you might want to try it.

It could be chestnut. Whatever it is, it's probably worth much more than the current crop of air or kiln dried lumber. I would ID it and check with some of the woodworking sites on the net to get an idea of the value.

I have an L3010 and don't know if the throttle linkage is exactly the same as the 3130 but the linkage was binding on mine when I got it. Very stiff. I bent the rods slightly to give clearance. Might want to check it before adjusting anything, if you haven't already.

I just used my L3010 at my place in the mountains for the first time. It has R1's. Worked great in the mud and clay while grading the roads, but the R1's REALLY eat up grass in the yard if the ground is damp. I have used it a lot at my home in s. GA (yard work)when it is dry and while you can still see the tracks, the first rain takes care of it.

I just pulled my L3010 with FEL,Box, and loaded tires on my 16' trailer to the mountains and back, 1000 mi round trip, and had a 650# log splitter in the bed of the truck. I don't have a bush hog yet, but it didn't sag that much. I checked the ATF and the fluid still looks and smells new. The temp. never got close to 210. I have a 98 Dodge 1500 4x4 quad cab w/ short bed. Downside was 10 MPG and 45 mph up a couple of the steepest mountains, a small amount of bouncing,and not using cruise. I know your rig will handle the weight if properly balanced. I did use cruise some of the way back but left the log splitter and some other weight in NC. No sway, bounce, or shimmy, felt good. If you had to pull your rig onto the trailer and put the bucket in front of the bed to get the bush hog on, I guarantee the load was not balanced. My tractor, box, and fel take up every inch of my trailer bed and is balanced perfectly. But when I take it back before winter I will remove the 4-500 gal. of water in the rear tires and replace it with four of five gallons of windsheid washer or rv anti freeze when I get there. That 10 mpg was a killer at 1.89.

Check with your local law enforcement agency to see who decals their cars. Many of these agencies have local sign companies make their decals. If you can take a photograph of the decal you want, with a ruler beside it for scale, these shops can make any decal. Usually for a lot less than the dealer can sell it for.
