3038E vs 3005 Which one?

   / 3038E vs 3005 Which one? #51  
Just bought a new 3005 to replace my Ford 1700 that I bought new in 1980. I also have a Kubota B7100 HST that I use around the house. The ford had a traditional gerarbox without an independent PTO that was the bain of my existance back in the old days when I used to run a bailer. Learned to shift quick without a real stop. The Deere has a two stage clutch with live PTO which would have been great then, but not as useful now since the cows are gone and I'm just raising trees. I didn't like the plastic of the 3032 0r 3038. I have hydrostatic on the aand love it for landscape work. Bu twhen I am mowing a field I want to put the tractor in gear and free my old legs up from being in one place. I don't like the R4 tires on the Deere. I don't have the traction I had with the Ag tires of the Ford. But then I didn't play tractorman as much in the winter time until I got my new toy. I go out in the rain nowadays I am so enthused. I particularly like the power steering and the hydraulics in the back to run my new log splitter. I think I will get chains for traction.

Mudfarmer I like your heavy duty bucket on your new 3005. I doesn't look like the standard bucket I got with my 790-300 loader. Did you have to pay extra for it?

A couple hundred extra plus a hundred twenty for the cutting blade (reversible and replaceable). The chain hooks were the dealers idea and are very useful.
