The main practical insight is a bucket-curl trick for lifting a stump too heavy for the boom alone, plus brief loader-height comparisons between a John Deere 1025R and a borrowed 3030 with Curtis cab. Casual and family-oriented; buyers wanting spec-focused reviews will find it thin.
Tractor Time with Tim is an owner-operator lifestyle channel focused on compact tractor projects and family activities, not a dealership or manufacturer channel.
Tim used the bucket curl function instead of the boom to get the stump off the ground, since the boom alone would not lift it.
The 3030 lifts higher than the 1025R, making it easier to dump into a trailer that is almost full, though dumping low worked better than going over the top.
No. Tim found the 3030's 308 loader had much less curl strength than the 1 Series loader after checking the specs.
