Sorry for asking this if it is in the manual but unfortunatly I have not got a manual yet. Used tractor with 4.5 hrs on it. Previous owner still has the manual.
My B3030 probably never will get "broken in"...

It took me 2 years to get to the 50 hr mark and at that point I did a FULL swapout on everything....and switched to Rotella 5W-40 SYN oil.

I dont need "full bore" RPM's to get the jobs done I bought it for and the only times it even see's "redline" and "high range" is when I travel on the road to go to a farmer friends place....because I want to spend as little time on the "highway" as needed.

It doesnt "hurt" anything to run it wide open..but normally I run about 2200 RPM's...and thats more than enough for my usage
