I purchased a B3030 april 2005. I currently have 120hrs on it. Its used for tilling, moving mulch, drive maint., and some mowing. Here is a picture of the newest wood chip pile. It grows everyday. I use the B3030 to turn the chips and manage them in a pile. Seems like I use the loader the most.

Are you composting those wood chips?

 

[Barnboy]

I dont add anything to the chips except 46-0-0 and turn the every couple of weeks. They break down real nice. It looks like compost in about 1 year.

Mine has 450, and I've used it for driveway maintenance, mowing, building fences, horse arena grooming, skidding logs for firewood, and just general pleasure.

I wish for more horsepower, maybe in the next couple of years.

At the time I bought my F2400, the hour meter showed about 4500 hours, but it was broken so who knows how many more hours were on it. The dealer installed a new hour meter before I bought it and I have put 500+ hours on it since then. It use it for mowing, snowblowing, sanding, rototilling, brooming, grading, aerating, towing, etc.
