...I'm sorry to be out of the subject...
kingoflawns, my blower is a rear one. The deflector and the rotator are controled by the two auxiliary valves. As you can see right in the middle of this photo, the sticks for those valves.

Looks like you are getting good information and I don’t have a 3030 nor do I get snow so just some questions rather than help from me.
You mention that your mowing will be field grass rather than finish lawn turf. No reason not to mow field grass with a mid mount mower if the ground is nice and smooth but I don’t see that situation often. If you are looking at more the roughness of an old field it can be hard on a finish mower and a rotary mower might be more appropriate as well as cheaper.
The other thing that struck me was the delivery of solar heating equipment. What kind of weight will you be looking at and what kind of truck will be delivering the equipment. Forks with the QA system on the FEL are great and the only way to go. You do have to remember that the farther out on the forks a load is the less lift capacity you will have. Just don’t want you to find that most of your deliveries are running 1000K + and the new tractor your bought to supplement you business can’t handle that much load. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Thanks, it looks clean on pictures but it's rather dusty in real. I wash it about 4 times/year the rest of the time it's cover with mud, dust and grass (...and dandelions). So usually I try to take some pictures when it's fresh clean.

Hey Mark, loads for Solar Heat delivery are 400 lb water tanks from an 18 wheeler so shouldn't be a problem as I will be using the ballast box when using the loader. Ordered the B3030 Cab model with 403 FEL, ATI Q.A., HLA Pallet Forks, Ballast Box, Woods 72" rear grading blade, 60" MMM, Woods 72" Bucket, and 63" front Snowblower. $32k total with rebate. Snowblower did come to a whopping $4500 by the time you add all of the extras needed to mount and run it (quick hitch sub frame, mid PTO drive line, chute, hydraulic chute rotator - $3k in 'extra necessities').

Hi solrheat, could you do me a favor when you'll get your tractor and post a picture or two of the quick hitch sub frame? I wonder how it fits with the front bracket of the MMM and the grill guard. Thanks
Nice setup BTW /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
