I have 25 hrs on my B3030 with FEL, 60" MMM 5' RMB and a 2 bottom 14" plow. I have used it for mowing and to tear up and prepare for 5000 SQ/FT of new grass. I am very happy with the performance and don't need anything larger. I wouldn't want anything smaller either as it is nice to have the power you need to do any task that comes along, within reason of course. I can see the value in having the fetures you describe although I can usually tell when the FWD is engaged as it turns differently. The one thing I would like to have is a parking brake indicator light. I have drove away with the brakes on several times and when quite a ways before I realized it. The brakes are very powerful for parking on slopes and turning in soft dirt but, when in low range the tractor overpowers them so easily about the only way you can tell they are on is by the sound. And when your mind is involved in what you are trying to do I sometimes miss the signs. My other complaint is the tiny alternator that is standard. I am in the process of mounting some extra work lights and found out that the stock alternator will not run more than one extra light without discharging the battery. My dealer sold me the heavy duty alternator kit (40 Amps) for $150 so I am going to install that. Otherwise I am very pleased with the quality and performance of this tractor. Nice looking too. And, my tractor does not have excessive vibration like I have heard some do.
