It's ALIVE! (New B3030)

[Boondox]

Downsizing from an L4630HST since the heavy work that remains on my acreage can easily be done with the 3030 and my mini-excavator. My wife loves it. I have mixed feelings. It's so incredibly tiny, like a tractor only smaller! But that has some benefits as well. It will fit into the sheep stalls so we can muck Baah Doo with the bucket instead of with shovels. It has a much lighter footprint so won't damage the meadow so much. The tires are much smaller which means my Norse-style ice chains will be much lighter and easier to handle.

I really was considering a cab model, but my wife has a habit of running into things and the damage would have been $$$. For the same reason I'll pass on the fiberglass canopy.

It'll soon be time to change my sig file.

Nice tractor.

In your signature I saw that you have a Farmi Winch. Will you be selling that? I am assuming that a 501 is a little big for a 3030?

 

[Boondox]

That 501 ought to let me drag that little tractor anywhere I can find a tree! :thumbsup:

Sorry, it's a package trade. Tractor, loader, winch, rear blade and forks for a similarly equipped B3030

Very nice tractor. I am sure you will get use to the size, sometimes a smaller tractor is really nice and they are really maneuverable.

I went the other way. Trade a BX for the b3030. went from very small to a little tractor.

I've traded up and I've traded down. I like em all. Tractors can be to big and they can be to small. It's like porrige(soup I guess) to hot , to cold and just right. Tractors need to suit the jobs needing done 95% of the time. That extra 5% can be worked out some way. Congratulations on your trade!

John, John, John, I see it coming. I'm not so sure I'm feeling change here as maybe addition, but I've been wrong before.

 

[TripleR]

Addiction isn't always a bad thing John.

 

[Tractor Factor]

Nice! Best of luck with it.

How are "Norse-style ice chains" different from regular?

Wrong, wrong, wrong!! You guys are wrong this time! I "almost" guarantee you. Wrong! I been working the snot out of my BX2660 the last few days and a B2630 wouldn't have done some of the jobs much better or easier or faster at all, hardly. Beside a B2630 with FEL and BH is way more than a BX25.
