B3030 - I pulled the trigger!

[Rolando]

B3030 HSDC (cab)
LA403 FEL
Rear Canopy Lights Kit
Bush Hog 60" Box Blade
TnT kit, valves and cylinders
Radio/cassette

$23,359 before taxes

I'll be adding a few more things before I'm done, like the ATI skid steer QA, pallet forks, and a root grapple (if the weight works out okay). But ATI hasn't made the QA for this loader yet and I wanted to go ahead and reserve the tractor.

Ordered mine about a week ago. B 3030HSDC with 72" MMM and FEL with 60" bucket and CD player with rear work light turf tires. Total delivered is $24,243 including Kubota doc fee and all that other charge for the 0% 2 year finance. I can hardly wait. Dealer said he would have it to me by 2nd week of April at the latest. He is in Northern DE and I am in SE PA.
A/C and heat are real hard to pass up if you can spring for it .

Jeff,
If costs were broken out, how much did the 72" MMM cost? I'm not buying one yet because I have to build my house before I have any grass to cut and right now I wouldn't know where to put it. But I will definitely be getting one once I'm ready to mow.

Also, I'm always curious about tires. How did you decide to go with the turfs?

Howdy,
72"MMM $3,050
Turf tires mainly because the soil around here does not heal well after chevron treads are imprinted on it. This unit will mainly be used for mowing with occasional rock moving and dirt adjusting. If I was running into deep woods or sloppy ground I would have gone industrial. I see the neighbors with their JD and it makes a mess just tooling around when its damp out with AG tires all around and it is about as heavy as the Kubota B series tractors. Neighbor down the road has a B series with turf tires and he never had regrets with them. He uses for mowing and snow removal with a blade. He has chains but never had to use them. Should be here by second week of April. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Does anyone know what a good price would be for the B3030 without the cab? The backhoe wouldn't be an option with the cab model.

Thanks

PondFish,
My dealer here in PA is selling them for $14,950. I'm sure there may be better prices as you check from dealer to dealer. And I'm sure that price isn't chiseled in stone either.

Does anyone know the overall height of the 3030 cab model?

 

[Rolando]

Jeff ("Chessie") got the info for us in this post. With the tallest tire it is 84" high.

I just measured a 2630 with fixed ROPS at 80". I *assume* the 3030 will be the same hight.

Question: Do folding ROPS increase the hight at all? Would choosing folding ROPS kill the ability to add the cab at a later date?
