Just got a b3030 not so long ago. Love it, its a great tractor. But I bought too small, as I was half sure I was doing at the time. So I have an order in for one of the new L4740s - was thinking the 34, which was what I was originally torn between, but I don't want to buy too small again.
So the question is what to do with the b3030? Its a great tractor, and I hate taking the loss on selling it. I had some customization done, like a 12v outlet, worklights, and upgraded seat, which I am unlikely to see much money back out of. So that makes selling painful. But on the other hand, much as I like the idea of 2 tractors, tough to really argue that I need them. And I'm not in love with the idea of doing twice the tractor maintenance.
Since people here so often have really good advice, I thought I'd throw it out to you lot, and see if anyone has any suggestions. One thought is to put it out there for sale at a fair (to me) price, and if no one takes it, consider that as fate meaning for me to have to tractors - the idea of leaving certain attachments permanently mounted has a lot of appeal.
