John Deere 3046R First Project, Repair NASTY Driveway with 2 Inch Rock.
Overview
This video follows Tim using his newly acquired John Deere 3046R on its first real job: spreading 15 yards of large-grade rock on a neighbor's deteriorated driveway. 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.
