Don't let the Ag guys see this! They'll never again let you argue about what big tractor tasks your 5030 can do /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
After sitting in a 5030, it really is a nimble compact package with power to burn! I found the cab tight as I'm used to ag sized cabs. The big NH's and Deere with the passenger seat in the cab are nice! Of course, you can't see what you're driving over in them /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hope the handle doesn't change from 5030 to some larger number when you spring for that bigger rig. Some of us can't count much higher! /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Thanks Dick,
I like the self-level too. I can get the bucket to the angle I want as I back away from the spoils pile before lowering to start scraping. Tractor on Wayne!! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif Schwing! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I'll keep 5030. When I started out on this board, I mistakenly made my handle 3050. Wrong color. How about this....
I'm over 50, but I wish I was under 30!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Wow,

jibber,
Thanks! That L3130 of yours with the hoe looks like a pretty nice setup too. Good for getting around in the woods and digging out tree stumps (and rocks). I ran an L3010 of my friend and it worked well. He has about 2 acres of a vegetable plot on his land that he sells through a CSA (community supported agriculture) deal. It is perfect for him. I went bigger to pull a wider plow and disk and to be able to pull a baler on my hills.
Our land is a nice mixture of field and woods so I can work the fields and hunt out back. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
