Just wanted to update this thread with my diagonsis so it can benefit someone else. This issue was isolated to a faulty shuttle shift switch. Finally got around to replacing it today. All is working great now. Thank you Bull dog... you put me on the right path!

I started pulling panels off to look for this linkage on the saftey switch. I found the shuttle switch but all looks good on the linkage. It will not even start with the shuttle in gear now. Nothing I do will crank it now. Any one have any suggestions on how I can test the switch to make sure I...

I have been shredding and clearing right of ways for deer hunting with my 3130... just wish I had a 60 or 70 hp to pull our 15ft batt wing.

Thanks Bulldog! I didnt know that. I will try to figure out where its located under the dash. Hopefully thats the problem. Come to think of it now, sometimes I had to move the shuttle shifter a little when it was in neutral to make it start every once in a while. Merry christmas buddy

Hello everyone! Merry Christmas! Recently my battery died on my 3130. Once I replaced it, I could not get it to start. Spent hours runing down voltages with my multi meter and all was ok. Just so happened, I moved the shuttle to forward and hit the key... bingo, started up fine. I then...

Maybe seal and bearing replacements on front 4x4 axle? Just thinking outloud.:D

Really nice man... Jealous over here!!!

Vic the loader upgrade would be a simple update to the linkage on the bottom of the ram? The upgrade on the bucket would have to be welded on... Correct?

Man, what a beautiful place!

Vic, thats the problem. I do not have any equipment that is quick attach. I wanted to modify the loader / bucket then proceed with getting the other equipment if the modification worked out.

I would like to add hydo myself.

Vic, I do have a good welding shop available. The problem is I am not sure exactly what needs to be modified. I have seen the quick disconnect only once. Where could I see pictures at?

Guys, I have a Kubota 723 front end loader. The loader does not have the quick detatch option. Is there anything I can do to convert it? An after market kit maybe? I would like to be able to remove the bucket and qucikly attach hay spear, and fork lift rack. Thanks

LOL!! Ok, I will admit it.... I am trying to beat out a few dents, changed a few broken lights... Other than that just trying to stop the rust. It will creep up on you in this very humid climate really fast. As far as waxing goes, I would rather have a snake bite me on my you know what!:eek:

What is your plans for the trees? If you dont plan on trying to remove huge stumps, I wouldn't get anything bigger than a 35 hp max. You would be better off having someone remove the stumps instead of spending lots of extra dollars for a bigger tractor than you need. However, a 30hp tractor...
