My new B3030HSDCC

[ovrszd]

The only difference I believe is the rear wiper is standard and it comes with a rear window defroster on the rear glass (like cars have).

I was planning on ordering the rear wiper and rear work lights anyway so Kevin talked me into the B3030HSDCC as it was only I believe a $30 difference in price. I figured it was worth the $30 to have the rear defroster.

You've been great to share the pics and all the info. I was especially glad to see the pic of the ATI quick attach installed. In your description you mentioned a front blade?? Can I ask for a picture of that attachment?? I'm curious if it replaces the loader bucket and if so how you angle it. A picture of it even though it's not attached would be awesome. Thanks again for a great post!!!

The front blade uses the Kubota quick hitch (it does NOT connect to the FEL). You can have the FEL on the tractor or the Quick Hitch on the tractor but not both at once :-(. The Quick Hitch allows use of a Kubota front blade, Kubota front broom and a Kubota snowblower. If you purchase the broom or snowblower you also need a mid PTO kit that goes from the middle PTO to the front to power them. The front blade just uses the loader joystick control and hydraulics so it does not require the mid pto kit.

I am at work now. Let me know if you still want pictures. I can take a picture of the quick hitch assembly and the front blade assembly if you like tonight and post them here.

Better watch your overhead in the winter... a little snow and ice and your garage clearance goes away fast.

Yeah, if you could that would be great. I didn't know Kubota made such a thing. Thank you in advance!!!

Norm,

Nice tractor! Could you take a picture of where the remotes for the reat outlets are mounted in the cab? Also, is there a light in the cab?

I appologize for the delay in posting the additional pics. It has been poring rain here the last week or so and I have just not been out to the tractor until this weekend.

Someone wanted a picture of the rear remote controls in the cab and also a picture of the quick hitch assembly and front blade. I have attached pictures of all now. There is NO cab light.

Nice set up!! Hey that rear weight box is nice. Can you post the part number off it, I'd like to order one from my local dealer

thanks

 

[amigauser]

Part is B8160 and runs around $175 or so. I paid just shy of $200 with tax.

Thanks for the pictures of the quick hitch, and blade! That setup sure looks different, and much easier to mount than the one for the B7800. Any comments on this from owners of the B7800, or older B2910, etc. would be welcome! Hope these comments don't hijack the thread, I just wasn't aware of the differences, and it might affect my purchase decision...
