    2006 B3030 Price

    I have a B3030 with loader and backhoe that has 156 hours on it. I would like to sell it, but I don't know what it's worth. The tractor and backhoe have been stored in a heated shop since purchase. It's in beautiful shape. I tried to attach a photo, hopefully it works. Any help setting a fair...

    My New MX5800 was delivered yesterday

    Dang, that is one sweet looking machine. Storage inside is best, sure keeps the paint from looking old before it's time. My Dad always says " gotta keep the girls lookin good, because you never know when you need to take them to town".:D

    First time tractor owner advice?

    Feel the same way you do. Since joining this forum, it's been like having a service department in my back pocket. All the best with your new toy:)

    a rude awakening!

    Did the tractor suffer much damage? My first though was glad no one was hurt, then worry about scratches and dents. Touch wood, I've never experienced even a close call when it comes to tipping. Our farm has a few steep hills, one of which the original homesteader (1918) rolled his tractor over...

    Battery Powered Sawzall ?

    We've tried all types at work (I.e. Makita, Dewalt, Ryobi, Porter Cable, Milwaukee...) and they all work pretty good relative to what you pay. We started using Festool battery drills for applications where a standard drill won't work. They are very expensive, but very well made. Unfortunately...

    Zero Radius ZD21 only clicks when you turn key

    Had the same problem Daren just mentioned. One of the switches on one arm needed adjustment. My zero turn (Kubota) would just click when the key was turned.

    L6060 mud fun

    My son was doing a little rototilling with our L6060 a few days ago. After two rounds of a portion of field we had plowed last year, we were confident it would be clear sailing:) Well, you can never be too confident:eek:

    Dropped off my baby (MX5100) for surgery today

    Really nice backhoe and tractor:) In my experience, if you can master the hoe you can easily operate an excavator. The agility, weight, power and controls on an excavator make operation much more forgiving. With that hoe under your belt, you'll be able to operate anything with a boom arm:p...

    Welcome Paul, I'm new to OTT as well. Since joining, I've learned a tone of "what not to do" and another tone on everything else. Can't wait to see the pictures:D

    "It'll never happen to me..."

    This is why I love this forum. I'm able to learn from the experiences and knowledge of others, and post my oversights as a reminder or caution to others. Most importantly it's good to hear your OK, tractors are replaceable, people are not:) This forum is the best thing since sliced...

    Tire Warranty

    I read your thread and ran over to check the tires on my B3030. The tractor is 9 years old and still not one crack anywhere. I agree with olthumpa, something's wasn't right when they were manufactured:rolleyes:
