It covers loader bucket work with the stock 60-inch bucket, an impromptu land plane trial for cleanup, and Tim's candid early impressions of the hydrostatic pedals. Best for owners curious how the 3046R handles a practical material-moving task.
Tractor Time with Tim is an owner-operator channel focused on compact tractor projects, presented from a hobbyist-homeowner perspective rather than a dealership or professional standpoint.
Tim ran the standard 60 inch materials bucket that comes with the loader by default and found the approach worked fairly well for spreading number two rock.
Tim says the tractor is quite maneuverable and seems to turn pretty short for its size, even though it is a relatively large tractor.
Tim says he is having a little trouble getting used to the hydrostat pedals because of a slight delay, but expects it to become second nature with time.
Tim tried it and found the land plane worked pretty good raking the number two rocks off the grass, picking up rock that spilled past the driveway edge.
