I have a New Holland Boomer 30 with hydro trans, which I think is very similar to the S3010. The LS made boomer has the Mitsubishi S4L 28hp engine. IMO it’s a well built, heavy CUT. Ive put 1100 hours on mine. Most of the hours with a tiller, brush hog, 8” chipper, and box blade. Only...

I hit a ground nest with my open station and got nailed twice by hornets before I realized what was happening. Then I got my cabbed tractor and hit another ground nest. “Hey, look at all those hornets on the other side of the glass”. It’s a good argument :) For snow removal and really dust...

My Boomer 30 has half the horsepower of that Deere, and my Woodmaxx 8H would have not problem with those 1.5” sticks that almost stalled the deer. It’s looks neat that you don’t have to trim off all the branches, but most of the pines, alders, birch and poplar branches I chip I can leave long...

My Boomer 30 is LS made with the Mitsubishi S4L engine. Manufacture year was 2011. I think it was only made until 2013. The LS made ones of those years were not available with a cab, but I think there are after market ones now. All the parts lookups have 1/2011 as the applicable time. I lost...

Are you using the tractor every day? I’d suggest only running it an hour or two each day before starting. But if you aren’t using the tractor every day, then I definitely would not keep it plugged in. My tractor’s block heaters use about 400w each, and at my electric rates, about $1.40/day...

Boomer 30 and 35 are in the same service manual so they should be pretty similar (S4L/S4L2 engines)

If the boomer 30 is similar enough, I can take pics of mine.

Having two makes a lot of tasks that require implement changes be a lot more efficient. With two sizes and open vs cab it lets me choose the right one for a job. I’ve had my Boomer 30 for a decade, but needed more horsepower and wanted a cab for snowblowing so I got an LS MT347. I still use...

Your friend sounds like a Garage Logic podcast fan. Their cylinder index is internal combustion cylinders both working and not. I think my cylinder index is around a pitiful 39 now. I was at my age a couple years ago before I sold off a few when I moved…and then I also got older.

Discharged batteries start to oxidize the lead plates. Leaving batteries discharged for extended periods is definitely bad. Single time and it was charged fairly quickly….may not be a certain death sentence.

That would be great, if it was an option. Minnesota state law requires between 5 and 20% biodiesel depending on time of year. I’m not aware of any exceptions for non biodiesel like we do for Non-oxy gasoline.

Could be possible that the nut has started backing off the piston shaft. I had one ram on my excavator do that. Rebuilding it will definitely tell you what’s wrong.

Like other say, they work on tension rather than compression. But while you are still thinking about your 3 pt, change those square head pins to one with a flat face. Those stupid square heads tend to rotate, grab, and then bend your stabilizer bar...

I upgraded to 5.25” speakers and the sound still sucked. Turns out that wiring harness or the installer bridged the front and rear speaker wires together. After I cut the wires to separate them and just use the front speaker wires, it sounds pretty good.

If it’s on the Hydrostatic version, touching the brake pedal releases it. Is the brake on just enough to trigger the sensor?
