I have a 3130 with a quick attach 6' Curtis blade. Definately get the hydraulic option. Ballast is a must, especially if you are attaching to the FEL. The plow extends beyond what the bucket does by about 2 feet, creating a long lever arm with quite a bit of weight. This can cause a very unstable situation without ballast, wanting to raise your rear tires at times and limiting the traction substantially. I keep my 9 foot hoe on for ballast and am thinking about purchasing a 1/2cy spreader for sand.

I have a 3130 and have had to replace both seals as well. The first went when I was leveling material, using the bucket as a dozer blade (I have learned my lesson). The second seal went when I was using the backhoe, had the bucket flat on the ground, no pressure. I have contacted my dealer a couple of times, but they haven't had any other seal problems with the 3130. My machine only has 50 hours on it, I am somewhat frustrated with the seals going while performing relatively "easy work" on the FEL.

Just took delivery of a 3130 HST, FEL, 7' Curtis Quick Detach Snowplow, 9'BH, Block Heater. Yee Hah! The loader is a little heavy, making the tractor light in the rear end, but won't it move some snow. One problem that I am having is the quick couplers on the FEL hydraulic lines are not so quick. They come off nice, but do not re-attach well. Any thoughts.

Also, because the FEL is so heavy, it tends to spin when pushing heavy snow. Should I load the tires or use chains?

Thanks Pacesetter, I ended up getting it from Wallingford.
