traded in 4330 to 5030

[JoeR]

Well, I traded in the L4330 and upgraded to the 5030 with cab. No more hot summers on the tractor! I will ride in comfort and not need to change my clothes 3 times a day.

Here are the pics before it gets dirty! Notice there is no dirt in that bucket!

I drove the tractor out to the barn to feed the horses. It was only a 300 foot ride, but I had to try out the A/C!

I noticed the tractor sounds differently than the 4330. I hear more creaking style noise, but not sure what it is. The power steering feels different too. It seems stiff until you start to make a real turn. Maybe my L4330 was sloppy after all its use and I am not used the new 5030? I noticed the hub that connects to the tire now has 6 bolts insetead of 4, and the R-4's looks a little different too.

you will hear some different noises in the cab that you would not hear on the rops tractor. I've noticed this on all of them.
