    Heater blower stopped working

    I recently removed the radio from my 2005 B 3030 with a cab. The radio wasn’t working anyway, I literally just cut the harness behind it.

    B2650 vs b3030

    I am looking for a used cab tractor. The b3030 seems like a good solid machine but similarly priced to the 2650. The 2650 is roughly 10 years newer. Any reason to go with one model over the other assuming prices similarly with similar low hours? Thanks for your perspectives.
