in answer to a few of the most recent question on a L series with my L3130 hst when cutting the grass when the ground is soft during the spring I remove the loader to help reduce the weight some and also make sure I'm not in 4x4 during turns. The R4 tires are a comparmize between the rut causing R1's and the lower traction turf tires. I also try to avoid running on the grass if the ground is wet and real soft.

I don't have a lot of call for critcal control of ground speed so I'm going on "old man" memory on this one. As far as maintaining ground speed the Grand L series has a cruise control lever on the left side by the gear shift. along with the digital intelipanel you can select the ground MPH display and return the cruise lever to the same posision by wacthing the digital display. or you can just feather the HST tredle while watching the display. What I do is set the RPM's for the PTO speed desired, then set the cruise Lever to the desired MPH, and back off on the cruise lever during turns then return it on straight aways. if I'm not mistaken though you have to watch it on grade changes, downhill it will overrun and uphill it will lag some. the govenor will try to keep RPM's the same but I think I have to make some adjustments every now and then.

I've got a 2003 Grand L3130-HST and the only time I notice a prominet tin-e whine is if I have forgotten to release the brakes or have left the bucket dug in to the ground and tring to move fwd or bkwd. Kind of lets you know your doing something wrong.

I bought mine back 07/2004, (northwest Georgia) and paid the following before taxes, and insurance. I don't know what make model loader you are being quoted, Check because different ones have different stength and or capacities.
L3130HST $14325.
BushHog M246 Loader 60" bucket $3500.
BushHog RDTH 72" mower $1700.
BushHog PHD 9" auger $695.

I think Carver equipment sells Kubota tractors and have prices listed online. Good luck I've been pleased with mine so far.
