b3030 HSDC 100 hour review. (long)
Overall, I'm quite pleased with this machine. I use this tractor in my business year round. I'm very faithful on P.M. as I work this machine hard. The 3030 has lots of power, good balance, exceptional agility and really is a joy to operate. The tranny is smooth and responsive. High gear is for transportation only. The differential lock and 4WD work well. The brakes are strong as is the emergency brake. The hydraulic system is well designed and strong. The independent PTO is smooth and quiet. The 3-point hitch is strong and fast. Telescoping lower link ends, sway arms and ratchet level save lots of time and labor. Position control is awesome. Power steering is smooth and fast.
The 4 cylinder motor is quiet, powerful and great on fuel. This tractor has great ground clearance and is very easy to service. The 403 front end loader is strong, fast and easy to remove. If you order your 3030, order the remote loader control. It is far superior to the standard joystick.
The factory cab is quiet, well sealed and the heat and AC are very strong. Control levers are well laid out. Stereo is nice. Speakers are ok, not great. Cab lights are strong. Dash is well lit. Door locks are foolproof. Quick tilt wheel is convenient. Cruise control is awesome.
The dislikes on this tractor for me are few. I think a full gauge package should be standard equipment. I wish the rear tread was adjustable and you must be sure your right foot is clear when you disengage the cruise control. I actually caught my right boot heel under the hst pedal when disengaging. This is a danger!
My review of the B3030 HSDC is 4 stars. It's a lightweight powerhouse, well engineered and fun to operate. The factory cab is awesome and I look forward to turning that key every day. You can't go wrong with the B3030.
