I got the same tractor for the same reasons. 2024 model and the folks over at Deere were offering 0% for 72 months at the time. My operation isn’t quite big enough for it, but in time will be. I plan to keep it for 25+ years and take care of it. That’s the only way it pencils out for me. Definitely a huge help moving big rounds around fast!
I bought a 3033R back in late 2020. JD had 0% financing and figured it was a no brainer with inflation, and that was before it got as bad. The main job at the time was to dig out a bunch of dirt for a pond. I was on that tractor most every day for a whole winter moving dirt- when we get our rain. We did have one week the ground was to frozen to break, a week for covid, and a few days for Christmas. Three years later the pond is doing well, and other than a battery, the tractor is doing good too. It is a bit of a luxury at times, but it saves a lot effort. Truth is i have done some other earth moving projects that a tractor isn’t the first thing you think of- even digging 400 foot of trench with the bucket for some temporary power.
Would be fun to watch that wood mizer throw some chips. May have to find a way to do that. 12 above this morning, low 30s this week. Thank you and have a wonderful day
Interesting with the rubber, I have heard people use foam before. I’ve heard for road use it’s alot more rough, but for field work saves alot of time and money compared to getting flats. Our neighbour usually finds elk sheds when making hay, an expensive fix. That’s a great size of tractor for your farm, you can do so much work with it in a day, smart choice staying away from the DEF with larger engines. Common to have problems especially in freezing temps. Those log grapples are an amazing attachment.
Greg a good friend of mine Jersey Joe Grieser the Guru of grazing. Has a 2010 5065E John Deere. I would say that is the most powerful small tractor 🚜 you could get. It's not the little tractor 🚜 that can. No it's the little tractor 🚜 that Will get the job done!
Thanks for the video! It should would be nice having a cab tractor, but my property isn’t really big enough to buy one that size for me though. I drive an antique Farmall 450. It works good enough, but it doesn’t have a 3 point hitch. I need to fill rubber in my front tires too. I bet it really rough ride because i have driven foam filled tires and it’s super bouncy. You can feel every crack on the road.
The Parked regeneration has nothing to do with cleaning injectors. If you have c 2:10 arbon buildup on your injectors you got some other issues. Your tractor has a diesel particulate filter (DPF) This filter is designed to remove carbon from the atmosphere. It has pressure sensors before and after the DPF the sensors measure pressures and they decide when you need to clean the DPF filter by using the parked regeneration procedure..
When tires are rubber filled, is that a reversible decision or can the rubber be removed in the future? Can rubber filled tires be removed from the rim and moved to a different rim? Thanks!
Dear Sir, as for everything you do, you got the right size equipment, just the power required, no more, and tires punctures proof! Even with the added weight, right now on frozen ground, did you add so much increase on compaction???!!!? No ruths in the field, you warned us, don't do that in March Muddy Defrosted etc.. Even the farmers in Conservation agriculture have gone down in power on the tractors: they don't need it anymore, they slow speed drill with the new equipment that seeds through green cover crops with rollo faca (Brazilian invention!) on the front, they might pull later in season a large sprayer with fermented solution (or whatever they like!), broadcast pellets, etc... Harvest (might be a contractor so they don't invest in equipment or they share it in a community farmers group! Drill again in the residues, corn stalks are impressive the biomass they restitute to the soil..... They can shrew everything if that is required results of absorption quicker by their living soil (like yours, with millions of earthworms, and all the rest of beneficiaries....) So much less fuel, hours of manpower, wear of your equipment, etc.. That's what makes your Marges at the end of the year and keeps you out of debt, no so sure you will still benefit from the government subsidies but you can be proud of your products at the end: so much less use of chemicals fertilizers, fungicides (keep them in case of mushrooms fire as a last resort rescue!) herbicides (you will have them under control and if you intergrade cattle and sheep on the cover crop they might eat them before they reseed!) pesticides (hedges rows of deciduous trees🌳 by the length of 2 width of your sprayer, planted properly oriented, will benefit harvesting them at your retirement and leaves, BRF (shredded branches of maintenance, etc..) will improve wind erosion control, water control, agroforestry model (your Sylvopastures, row crops in perennial cover crops [clovers, alfalfas, trefoils, legumes are much better!] instead of your Kentucky 31 fescue! And even this fescue, in Sologne France, Helene saved her soil on contracting 5 years seed production on fescue and was able to grow triticale on a recuperated desperately overwet soil: minced sandy top soil over the yellow clay 8 inches under.... So power is a myth and weight is a compaction friend! Thanks for letting us discover and benefit from your wisdom! Happy end of January new year to you All!

Sounds like a good rig. Lots of work done 👍

Heat wave in Minnesota! We get the mill ready date set, come on up.
@gregjudyregenerativerancher that would be awesome
Love your toys! George does a great jon in those sub degrees!

I never knew filling tires with rubber was an option!

Greg quick question........ whats was the post spacing on those timeless posts on your new fence you and the boys just done. Thanks
20 foot spacing on flat ground is perfect for a 5 wire fence
When tires are rubber filled, is that a reversible decision or can the rubber be removed in the future?
Can rubber filled tires be removed from the rim and moved to a different rim?
Thanks!

I’m going to go out this morning and fix a leaky front tire…
