B3030 cape cod bound (again)

[lawn_king]

I got the call yesterday, heading south next week to spray a 100 acre national cemetery. This year i will be working along side a B7500. Man, i have to upgrade that seat. Talk about seat time, last spring this application took 3 days, sunrise to sunset. This type of job is why i will never buy another tractor without a factory cab.

Job like that would give me the creeps - "I see dead people"

Its actually good work. Drive the tractor, play cd's and make some good cash.

Mr. Lawn King if i may pick your brain.
Do you use milloganite on lawns ?
Is a tow behind dethatcher (nonmotorized) worthwild ?

 

[lawn_king]

I have used millorganite in the past and its a good organic fert, The only drawback with it is it has to be applied at heavy rates, so a bag does not go far. The dethatching attachments i see the landscapers use on their mowers seem to work well.

Those B3030 seats! I'm too new to mine(4 hours)but I know there's something about the seat that's less than satisfactory. Trouble is,the only thing I notice is the seat bottoms out even though I've got the weight control cranked all the way in. OK,I'm 240-thought the seat should be rated for that? Just can't figure out if there's anything else that is bothering me until I get over,or used to,this bottoming thing.

...the seat bottoms out even though I've got the weight control cranked all the way in.

Perhaps this is one of these "japanese making stuff for Americans" issues...like the previous generation "full size" Toyota Tundra/T100. No matter how much they try, they tend to underestimate the "bigness" we're accusomed to. Bit of a shame for it to show up in your seat like that. I know how irritating that can feel.

The seat is ok for a few hours, its those long runs, 8 or 10 hours that it really starts to bum you out. No pun intended.

still love the upgraded seat neil messick put on mine, even after bouncing around on rocks for 8 hours. You guys should search for that thread - its a great upgrade
