I went over and got my new toy today. I haven't done much with it but try out all the levers and buttons, scoop something up,'thumb' something with the new BH and just generally learn what things are where. I've got a lot of reading to do tonight.
I thought I'd post some pictures for a side by side comparison to my 1952 Harry Ferguson TO30 and Kelley 30 hoe. Not a huge difference in the overall size of the main tractor, but a big difference in the loader size.
I'm going to miss the big bucket on the Fergie. It would handle a lot of snow.
TheFELs are slightly different. :laughing: The lift cap of the Fergie is about 900 lbs vs about 1600 for the 3016.
the overall length is pretty close, as is the wheelbase. The BH's are about the same size. The 3016 is a very little bit smaller.
the 3016 sits lower and is ever so slightly narrower
I won't miss climbing up the BH and stepping over the seat to get in and climbing over the side to get out.
a little better look at the loader on the Fergie. My how things have changed.
The Fergie has been a very good tractor for me for the past 20 years or so. I hope my son gets another 20 out of it, until he inherits the 3016, and then he can pass the Fergie on to his kids.
