Good morning everyone...
Would really love some advice from anyone out in forum land that may or does have experience with any of the items listed. Moving up from a 3320 that I've loved for over six years but this year decided to move up to a cab unit to help deal with our long and hard winters especially with a pronovost 72" blower off the back. I managed to get what I feel a very good deal on the the 3039 with deluxe cab. The dealer is going to load the tires for me which I've never had done in the past but he has assured me it will make the unit feel quite a bit more stable and provide additional ballast when doing loader work.


My big question to everyone is the BB2072...the salesman was not that knowledgable when it came to BB and matching size and compatability with this particular tractor can anyone advise if this is a decent model and the right one for the unit. Also I have about 1500' of gravel drive which accends to our home now obviously I would work the BB top to bottom but are BB effective on sloped driveways?

The finished mower is their economy class which I think will be fine as I really just need it to mow my runway. No i'm not a real pilot just an RC hobbyist who loves flying planes around the property but any feedback would also be appreciated.

Lastly, going with the loaded tires, the cab and working either my rotary cutter or finish mower do you think the unit may be underpowered in the summer months when the AC is running?

Thank-you to everyone for your comments in advance.

What is BB?

back blade, box blade, ballast box :confused3:

I have the BB2065 (5 1/2' wide) on my 3320 and I don't think I'd want it any wider. In theory you want the box blade to be just a few inches wider than your rear wheels. The Frontier box blades are well made, I've abused mine for years and it still looks nearly new.

I think if I hade 1500' of gravel driveway I would get a land plane/grading scraper to maintain it.
