All,
My dad dropped me off at a cousins' place for a two week period. In that short time, I was assigned, probably privileged in my mind, that I had to drive the 3010 with a baler, a hayrack, and an uncle's brother on the rack for a few hours.
My limited prior experience, the abrupt lesson, and the inadequate knowledge of this particular operation, led to many quickly-clutched-then-braked events. Good thing the human haystacker had good balance.
All survived, and I learned what that special dial was for in the dashboard; keep the rpms up to needle on the white line. Pay attention to what the baler is ingesting, notice the clouds' shadows that crawl along with you, and for heavens sake, quit standing on the brakes!
Who knew snakes and mice were a part of this?!
My cousins were dismayed at my amateur ways, but were glad they did not have yet another chore to do. Me, I was glad I learned a lot, got to drive the 3010, and in retrospect, didn't kill or maim anyone.
The 3010 had a difficult to learn shift pattern, kind of a slotted gate that I did not get the grasp of as easily as the B.
