I upgraded the speakers in my MT347hc going up one size, and they still sounded like ****. After digging into the wiring, I found some genius spliced the front and back amp outputs together in the harness going to the speaker. The OEM Jensen isn’t capable of bonding them and they end up...

6’ tiller, brush hog to mow down the previous year’s stubble, 6’ cultipacker, for a drag I have 3 truck tires bolted together (buries bigger seeds better than the cultipacker). For breaking new ground, I have a sub spoiler and potato plow. Tiller is the most useful, but it doesn’t like my...

A good welder should be able to weld it back as strong as it was. Probably need to ask around locally to find a good welder. My dealer recommended the shop they send their welding work to, and they did some amazing things for pretty reasonable prices when I bought an excavator that was far...

How big of lights did you upgrade to? Most LED light bars, especially if you do both front and back, are way too much current draw for the factory wiring and are going to blow the fuse. I got socket connectors that connect into the factory light plug and use that to trigger relays that are...

The loader is a lot of weight and obstruction out front. The 1000lbs of weight out front make it bounce like a teeter totter a lot when mowing bumpy trails or tilling fields. The 5’ of distance out front is a problem tilling my food plots in the woods and try to turn. My 2 series tractor...

Mine are tapered, keyed bolts. I set the stump jumper on blocks and beat it with a hammer from the top. I left the nut on most of the threads to avoid mushrooming the bolt head. Without bracing the stump jumper, the first time I removed my blades, things just bounced and recoiled when I hit...

I’ve had a WM-8H for 10 years now. 9 years were on my Boomer 30 with 28hp engine, 22.5hp pto. It chips nearly everything I’ve put through it. It can handle anything that isn’t firewood, though I may have to slow down the infeed or pause it a few times on a big log to let it recover. That said...

I have a New Holland Boomer 30 with hydro trans, which I think is very similar to the S3010. The LS made boomer has the Mitsubishi S4L 28hp engine. IMO it’s a well built, heavy CUT. Ive put 1100 hours on mine. Most of the hours with a tiller, brush hog, 8” chipper, and box blade. Only...

I hit a ground nest with my open station and got nailed twice by hornets before I realized what was happening. Then I got my cabbed tractor and hit another ground nest. “Hey, look at all those hornets on the other side of the glass”. It’s a good argument :) For snow removal and really dust...

My Boomer 30 has half the horsepower of that Deere, and my Woodmaxx 8H would have not problem with those 1.5” sticks that almost stalled the deer. It’s looks neat that you don’t have to trim off all the branches, but most of the pines, alders, birch and poplar branches I chip I can leave long...

My Boomer 30 is LS made with the Mitsubishi S4L engine. Manufacture year was 2011. I think it was only made until 2013. The LS made ones of those years were not available with a cab, but I think there are after market ones now. All the parts lookups have 1/2011 as the applicable time. I lost...

Are you using the tractor every day? I’d suggest only running it an hour or two each day before starting. But if you aren’t using the tractor every day, then I definitely would not keep it plugged in. My tractor’s block heaters use about 400w each, and at my electric rates, about $1.40/day...

Boomer 30 and 35 are in the same service manual so they should be pretty similar (S4L/S4L2 engines)

If the boomer 30 is similar enough, I can take pics of mine.

Having two makes a lot of tasks that require implement changes be a lot more efficient. With two sizes and open vs cab it lets me choose the right one for a job. I’ve had my Boomer 30 for a decade, but needed more horsepower and wanted a cab for snowblowing so I got an LS MT347. I still use...
