B3030 4th Birthday

[Toolguy]

For my 2005 B3030's 4th Birthday I gave it a fresh charge of SUDT & filters plus a wash & wax. I had it delivered 4 years ago this weekend and 305 hrs ago. It has been a real joy to own and operate on my 3.5 acres. It has done everything I have asked of it and I am still amazed how versatile it is. It is small enough to mow the lawn, yet still big enough to pull a 2X14 plow in my sandy soil and run a 5' brushhog. It has been virtually trouble free and runs flawlessly. I do all my own mechanical work and while I do not abuse it I am not afraid to make it earn it's keep. Here are a few pics from today.

I don't think you're supposed to admit you waxed your tractor on this forum !


The ole gal still looks like the prom queen though. Congrats !

After you two have a slice of cake, go get that thing dirty again!

Nothing wrong at all with taking good care of our tractors. Nice pictures! What kind of camera did you use?

 

[Toolguy]

Thanks. It has been dirty a few times. Here are a few pics to prove it.

Thank you very much. I will check the Canon out. Very best pictures I have ever seen. It was like "wow" when I expanded the pictures. And a super nice tractor. I am glad you posted this.

Looking at your pictures again. I though I kept my tractor looking nice but you sure have spanked me! I better get busy.

There's no way that has 300 hours on it! It looks like it was just delivered.

I would highly recommend Canon. I just got a SD1100 back in March. I love it. It takes great pictures, and even video. My thread from back on July 5th in the Photos forum has a bunch of pictures and some video.

Thanks for all the kind words, guys. I just felt like sharing the pleasure I have had with my tractor. I am 58 years old and of all the things I have bought in my life the B3030 ranks right at the top with the best. It just works. It makes every job I do easier and faster. It is solid and extremely well engineered. The hydro is smooth, the hydraulics are great and it has the best power steering of any vehicle I have personally driven. I couldn't ask for more in a machine of it's size. I'll quit blubbering now and just say this;

A man and his tractor-It's a beautiful thing!
