Unbelieveable Transformation

BucketHoe · May 17, 2007

Up until today the TLB combination we have had is about as basic as you can get. We have been able to get some work done with it but, it hasn't been easy. The FEL has very little capacity and the BH has just about nothing for breakout force.

The first photo is what we have been using for a TLB, and the second photo is what we will use starting today.

I'm guessing, since you've still got the old one they must not have offered you enough on a trade

. I must say that's pretty creative thinking and funny too. Have fun with your new "toy"!

Fjord,

We still have a couple of payments left on the first one, and then we will try to sell it ourselves rather than trade it in.

So what made you want to upgrade, lack of 4x4, no power steering, ag vs turf tires, wanted to change brand colors? Congratulations on your new purchase. Nice looking place from what I can see.

Those R4s will luVs your nice lawn.

BTDT,

The single wheel system becomes a little unstable once the operator grabs the wood control arms and lifts off the dual steel stabilizer feet, so yes it was the 4 wheel capability of the B3030 that sold me.

crbr,

I made about six trips across the lawn in the back of the house yesterday after digging out some stones that were coming up through the surface. Between taking the stones away and going back to fill the holes and then haul some loam to repair the areas I did not do any damage, kept it in 2 wheel drive and took it easy. I considered turf tires but I plan on using the tractor to clear snow from my driveway which is about 700 feet long and has a 34 foot elevation change from the road to the house, so I didn't think turfs would work for that.

I think I saw something similar to that transformation on that new reality show, "Pimp My Wheelbarrow".

I hear ya now...

Take care of that nice lawn. I swapped R4s for turfs shortly after I bought the machine. As for the snow, I lived in N. Central IL for 13 winters. Turfs on a John Deere served me well and I promise there was snow aplenty, however each to their own my friend.

Still a nice looking lawn of grass you have...
