I broke down and bought a B3030 with fel and the 72' mmm last june and I almost cry with joy everytime I look at it. I wish I had more projects to do with it. Last summer I used and mostly for mowingand cut by time by two thirds over my old 38" John Deere riging mower. last week and I put it to use for my first big cleanup project on our farm. I had several trees which had blown down over the winter including three that had fallen on fences. I was able to lift each one with the bucket, pushed it away from the fence and drop in on the far side in every case. Most of these trees were balanced awkwardly and would have been quite a handful using just the chainsaw. I was also amazed how easily I could push blow downs off of Trail's, even 10" diameter trees were no problem at all using four-wheel-drive.
The first two tasks were so simple that I had time to cut down 10 additional small trees encroaching on some of my smaller pastures and just push them off to the edge, creating brush files for rabbits another small game. these trees ranged in diameter from six to 10" and would've normally taken me the better part of weekend to clear with a chainsaw and four wheeler.
All together we have about 125 acres of mixed woods, with 6 four to six acre pasture's, and a two acre pond. I purchased the tractor to maintain trails, mow, maintain a gravel driveway, and put in the a couple of one acre food plot. I find myself trying to make up new projects just for an excuse to play with my tractor.
Does everybody have this much fun with their tractors????
