Buying Advice b3030hsdc

[stevess]

really like the b3030 hsdc but i've only got an acre of land. live on a culdesac and the town dumps alot of snow on my yard so i'd use it with the snowblower and fel and maybe the mmm in the spring. is this tractor too large for my lot?
thanks

I have an acre on a cul-de-sac as well and I am buying a BX1860 for my mowing etc! The smallest mower for the BX2360 is a 54 in Mid Mount Mower. I have several 5 ft gates and need the 48 in mower that is only available on the BX1860.

If I owned a lot your size, it would be too large for mine

I think a BX would be more appropriate.

Having said that, we own a B2910 - which was the predecessor to the B3030 .... and gotta say: I really, really wish I had a B3030HSDC

I have 4.7 acres and it works well for me. 600ft of drive way with lots of snow. Most of my neighbours with 3-5 acre lots have BX's, ride-on mowers and hire the snow blowing out in the winter. Nice thing about the b3030 hsdc is the factory cab, large bucket and FEL with lifting power for winter. You may need a smaller ride on mower or push mower to cut the grass and get the big areas with the B3030. If you remove the FEL and use a MMM the tractor may work for you. I have not removed my FEL and don't have a mmm so tractor is not that compact with a 3pt hitch mower. If you have a lot of small areas that require tight turning this tractor tends to rip up the grass.(I have R4 industrial tires but turf tires would be better)

What Ductape said:thumbsup:
While I have never operated the tractor in my underwear I do really like being out blowing snow off the driveway on the proverbial dark and stormy night in comfort.

Look at the tasks to be performed and not the size of your property.

thanks for the responses. now trying to figure a way to get it into the garage if i make the purchase. i've got clearance of 7 feet but i've seen some posts were the r4 may be the right tire. do they make a lower profile turf tire that would fit the wheels?

The turfs and the R1 tires are both taller then the R4. You will have to fold down the ROPS to get that puppy into the garage. Oh wait you are getting a cab tractor! Then you might have to price the taller garage opening with that package.

Do the kids pray for a big snow fall? Instant mountain for sledders...
