Congratulations. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I see you had the B7500 before with a snowblower.
The B3030 is almost a foot wider (I think) at 54" and the 2781 blower is 51" wide.
I was thinking the 63" wide model would be better for getting up next to the edges.

Make sure you post pictures when you start moving the snow while you are in your heated cab! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I don't get much snow down here... Just hurricanes.

Congratulations and let's see some pictures when it arrives, prefereably *before* it gets dirty!

Our snowblowing business is all after storm work. We blow back snow along fencelines on commercial propertys, mostly furrows made by the plow trucks. We make a few passes through the furrows and reclaim the lost parking footage. We also clear some cemetery areas (grass) so funerals can proceed as planned. It's great work when you can get it. During the storm we are out in dumptrucks plowing.

We have the machine. Correction of opening thread. We have the 2782 blower (larger) and the final deal was $28900. We will post a review after some hours in the field. I can say now that the factory cab is awesome and the remote loader control is standard in the fact. cabs. The remote is far superior to the kubota joystick. We also got 3.9 % apr not 4.9.

How much is the cab option if you don't mind me asking?

 

[kingoflawns]

I wanted a cab model from the get go and did not price the non cab machine. I believe the cab with am/fm/wb/cd runs around 5 grand. My b7500 had a curtis cab and that was nice, but the factory cab is awesome! Snow mgmt. is a big part of my business so cab tractor is a must.

Kingoflawns, Curious, how is the remote loader control far superior to the Kubota joystick? And if possible could you post a photo of the remote loader control. Also, you have the am/fm/cd player in the tractor, will rough terrain, either snowblowing or cutting grass cause any skipping while playing the cd? Thanks very much!

The control stick itself is more like the pilot controls in style and function. It's located in the same area as a backhoe loader control, it's more comfortable to operate for extended periods. I will try to scan in some photographs this weekend. Scott.

Case NH offers a regular stick controller which you push up/down or left/right and also has an optional stick with buttons on it that they call a joystick. Are you talking about something like that or a third type of control? I would think the Case joystick with buttons or a similar item would be hard to beat.

 

[kingoflawns]

I guess you would call it a stick, not joystick, no buttons. It's heavy duty & you can feel the float lock in deep!

Not sure if I inserted the link correctly but I think this is a picture of the remote valve option. It is also listed in the 3030 parts book.

King and Band, remote controlled stick sure looks like it would be more comfortable. I believe John Deere tractors have their loader control located right next to the where the right hand would rest. thank you both.

Thats it! good job posting the photo! I had custom made d rings installed yesterday as ther'e is NOWHERE to bind this machine for transportation. I will try to scan in some photos this weekend. Scott.
