Strengths I bought my grand L 3130 GST transmision in the fall of 2003. I have nothing but good to say about it. Comfort and large deck make it a winner and the servicing of the tractor is easy. I use a 6 foot finishing mower and rake hay with a broom rake in hay season plus box blading and bush hogging. It is a fine tractor.
Weaknesses I really can't complain about this tractor at all.I now have about 400 hours on it.
Overall If I had it all to do over again I would do it with Kubota

Price Paid : $21,000.00
Years of Use : 2-Years
Implements : LA514 Loader, back blade.
Purchased From : Portland Implement, WI
Strengths Many great features, i.e., auto throttle, HST plus, hydraulic lock for front end implements. Very roomy compared to other brands and better loader hydraulics than others I tried. I am very pleased with it, it is built heavy. The six ranges on the HST is very handy leaving me plenty of pulling power for logs.
Weaknesses Seems a little tippy for the hill country I live in. Maybe industrial style tires would be better than the Agriculture tires I have.
Overall Great tractor. I researched for two years before buying. None of the other brands really came close and the price was very competitive also. This tractor seems almost too big to be considered a compact but the horsepower is there for the work I do with logging and moving dirt and compost piles. I put on about 100 hours per year on my 13 acres.

Years of Use : 2-Years
Implements : LA514, BH90, Gill SR20 box scraper, Wallenstein BX42 chipper, Bush Hog SQ72 mower
Purchased From : Central Carolina Power Equip
Strengths Easy to operate, durable (340 hours and no problems), HST very smooth, seems to be very fuel efficient. LA514 and BH90 both work well. Excellent all-around machine for horse farm. Have cleared 3 acres with it, just keeps chugging along without complaint.
Weaknesses Cold starting is sometimes hard. If I lived in a colder climate I would definitely want the engine block heater option.
Overall Excellent machine. Big enough for anything I need to do on a 14 acre horse farm.

Price Paid : $0.00
Years of Use : 1-year
Implements : LA514 FEL, Bush Hog 6' scrape blade
Purchased From : Kubota of Asheville
Strengths I've owned my L3240 for 1 year. Have 38 hours on it. Use around house, maintain gravel drive and general use. Love it. Finally got my wife on it and now she wants to drive it all the time while I do the heavy ground work! Sips fuel, quiet, easy handling, comfortable seat and excellent hydraulics. I looked at the green & yellow models, but I would have had to buy a bigger model to compare with the features of the L3240 big orange. You just can't go wrong with a Kubota, and great dealer service.
Weaknesses Still looking for them!
Overall This is one excellent tractor with great features for the money. Buy it, you'll be glad you did!

Price Paid : $0.00
Years of Use : 2-Years
Implements : bucket, forks, backhoe
Purchased From : local dealer
Strengths What an amazing tractor. I've spent many hours on all sizes and shapes of equipment- this tractor is exceptional. It's used in the woods for logging, plowing snow, building roads, and digging. Hydraulic output is exceptional. Turning radius is very tight- good on lawns or use ring chains and lock in the rear- it'll go anywhere.
Weaknesses Weakness? What weakness?
Overall VERY impressed.

Purchased From : Texas
Strengths HST Plus is great. The days of the tractor stall are history. A total pleasure to operate because of its ease of use, smoothness, comfort and relative quietness. Handles and steers great. Very strong and a good size.
Weaknesses None that I have noticed so far. However, it is still in tractor age practically new.
Overall This is an excellent tractor that I think anyone will like experienced or not. So far I couldn't be happier with it for my 12 acres. It's like the Lexus of compact tractors.
