What year is your 3000? My 73' 4000 will go 1.5 mph and it seems counterintuitive that the lowest speed is 3 mph. I know some of the 3000 transmission options will go as low as 1.5 mph. The only problem I see is the transmission pto. That is a pita even with an overrun coupler. I don't understand why they still had the transmission pto as an option or standard.

Not having a backup tractor makes me reluctant to use my one machine until I get my backups up and running.
