- I finally had time and enough dirt from the compost pile at the horse barn to work on a little landscaping project we began working on a couple of years ago.

drove through Schnevus on saturday on my way home to NC
Should have stopped and visited.
@@ElkCreekAcres thought about it briefly but seemed kinda creepy to drop in unannounced 😀
@@donalexander4083 It might have been, but I'm okay with that LOL
@@ElkCreekAcres have family not too far from there that i get up there to see a couple of times a year
Great video, Pat. Enjoy watching you put the new 3039R to work. However, I'll be putting mine to work very soon, it's here and now getting some additional things done. Wheel spacers, fender flares, etc. No more open station weather, instead climate controlled cab! 😁 I'd post a picture but have no idea how to do so!!
I'm really happy for you Rod, cabs sure are nice. Quiet as well, not something I honestly gave much thought too when purchasing. I'm on Facebook/Instagram as well.
@@ElkCreekAcres sent Instagram message 👍
Nice video Pat. Thanks for the update. Seems you're enjoying your new rig! I agree with your thoughts about the 3 Series being much more substantial in every way than the 2 Series. Both great rigs though for what they can do.
Thanks Frank, enjoying it very much!! I've echoed the same thoughts with every upgrade I've done, it's a natural progression moving up through the ranks.
You are lovin' that tractor! Easy job moving the compost! So where do your fans.....uh.... I mean subscribers get one of those sweatshirts?😃
I am loving it for sure!!
We're currently trying to find a good local shop for more shirts, my guy closed up when the plandemic started and never reopened.
That was a load of crap 😝. Tractor on my friend.
I always seem to find myself in these crappy situations.
Do miss having an open station for dirt work? I haven’t done any with my 5 and enjoy the open air of the other two, when the weather is temperate. Especially for dirt work
Can’t really say I do, but I understand where you’re coming from.
I was just going to ask if you missed the MSL loader and then you mentioned that you do in your video. It sure looks like you are enjoying the cab and I don’t blame you a bit! I like the new angle gage you installed on the windshield 👍
Thanks David, like I said, give and take. I would prefer the MSL, but I have a cab and a better tractor, guess I’ll have to tough it out. lol
@@ElkCreekAcres 😜 it’s a rough job I’m sure, just glad you don’t mind taking one for the team 👍
Just curious why you wouldn’t bring the trailer to the pile to load up? Too muddy?
Not so much muddy, but slick enough. The hill coming up from the pastures to the barns is very steep, the camera never does slopes and grades justice. Our bigger 2555 4wd could easily pull this up and out, but no way I was putting that tractor where I needed to dump this load.
@@ElkCreekAcres ahh, got it…was wondering how steep it really was when I could hear the change in engine tone as you went up 👍
How does or did the 3039R do with towing that dumper?
Actually quite well, better than expected and definitely feels better than it did behind the 2038R.
@@ElkCreekAcres how big is the dumper?
@@krismay6021 I'll have to try and get you a measurement sometime, but I'm pretty sure it's a 6 x 10.
Is the joystick on your 3039r is very stiff?
No sir, I mentioned this in my review video that I just put up a couple of weeks ago. I have read in Facebook groups that many are stiff, I don't think mine is, but it's possible I've just gotten used to it.
@ElkCreekAcres sorry I haven't seen that video where you explain. I have the 2038r open station wanted to trade for the 3039r cab but that was the only thing I didn't like the joystick I had to make alot of force with my hand and that was not comfortable. Am still undecided just because of that
@@dannyboy9254 I understand, it's a big decision these days. The joystick doesn't bother me, I don't have any trouble be smooth and making minor adjustments when using it. Check out the video though, I make a lot of reference to the 2038R that I had previously.
How can I find your video where you explain that?

If you ever want to go wider in the rear, give me a call and I’ll show you what we did for FREE
I have 3” spacers on this. But if you’re referring to flipping the wheels it only gains about an inch on the newer ones.
