John Deere Test Drive: The Search for Bigger Compact Tractor Continues

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 มิ.ย. 2018
- The hunt for a larger horse power tractor continues and it rained so Tractor Time with Tim finally had a chance to visit our local John Deere Dealer. Reynolds Farm Equipment was really busy but Alan took time to show us the 3 and 4 series compact utility tractors. Nothing runs like a Deere!

i think you both are very blessed to have each other, your family get along togehter very well and that is awesome, enjoy your time togther, life is to short ENJOY and have a very blessed day
Thanks! I’m glad to see 7 thumbs ups on this comment!
That single point connector looks like HEAVEN!!! Very informative video, as always. Thanks Tim and Christy for making my evening TH-cam watching so much more enjoyable.
We love our 3039r! It is the best investment we’ve ever made, just as maneuverable as the old Kubota, but has a cab, which doubles as protection from bees while brush-hogging. Only time we’ve ever run out of power was trying to pull a 2-bottom plow through pretty well solid ground. Loader has enough power to pick up the rear of the tractor. Make sure you get the air suspension seat! Well worth the money! Only thing I wish it had was the power reverser transmission. That’s just what I was used to...
Great video Tim! Thanks for another TTWT adventure and taking the time to share it with us.
I've been to the fishers JD and found they are to busy to offer good customer service.. I ended up getting a 2018 2038r from greenfield JD and I love it. The sales guy was very helpful and help make sure I got every rebate possibly and I walked away very satisfied with the transaction. I looked at the 3 series E and ended up getting the big body 2r because I wanted the removable loader and the size was perfect for my needs. Good luck Tim I know you're getting a Deere buddy you ain't fooling me!
Thanks for everything you do mate
Tim, I had a John Deere 3720 Cab tractor that is much like the others you looked at in this video. Overall it was a great tractor but there were some downsides to it.
Bush-hogging, I still had to constantly get out of the cab and clean off the grill because the engine would overheat if I didn't. Likewise due to the clogging of the grill, the AC in the cab didn't work hardly at all in our hot, humid summers. I ended up spending most of my time with the back window open and letting the dirt fly in while cutting to get air. It wasn't an AC issue because once I cleaned the grill out and let it idle for a bit it blew cold air out of the vents. It is just poorly designed for that use. Now, having heat in the winter... That was nice... . Especially when you had to clear snow or help someone get unstuck out of the ditch in ice storms.
Mine was loaded with 3rd, 4th and 5th functions for TopnTilt, 4n1 bucket/grapple, etc and it worked really well for that but watch for leaks on the back where the connectors go. Mine also had the Mid PTO with the 7 iron Autoconnect 72" Deck. That thing will flat mow a yard, but the tractor was too heavy to use mowing after a rain. It would create ruts and depressions on the paths you took even a couple of days after clear weather. I ended up going back to the ZTrack mower we have.
I miss the tractor and wish I had not sold it. I took a beating on the purchase, especially with all the equipment it had on it and with it.
I had the Backhoe with it as well and it was great but I really wish that I had gotten the 4 series with all the same options so I could also add the self leveling bucket and the Backhoe to it. It has a neat feature that lets to crawl the tractor forward while setting at the dig station on the backhoe. Very nice but since you have Casey, that is not as critical.
My biggest gripe with the JDs is the direction of the air intake where it clogs the grill all the time when in brush and mowing. If they can ever fix that, I would be happy. But so far 3 of the tractors I have had with JDs name on them have all done the same thing.
Good luck in your purchase!
This series has been a HUGE help for me. My wife and I just purchased 26 acres in Tennessee, but you are in my old stompin ground (grew up on the east side of Indy). Love their Christmas displays every year.
Thanks Mark! Hope you are able to make the right Tractor decision for your needs!
Glad to hear you’re keeping your 1025. The new, bigger tractor will be a great addition to your fleet of equipment. Your videos featuring Casey have been very informative and helpful. It helped me decide between a backhoe attachment or a mini excavator. Purchased a used Kubota KX 41 excavator last week. Absolutely love it! Keep the videos coming!
Cheers from Saskatchewan!
My family just got a new 3039R and we love it!
Some very nice tractors there at Reynolds. My favorite store to shop in. When I got my quote from them I thought it was very fair with all the discounts. It makes it very hard to buy used since every one want new prices. Did you notice the leg room difference on any of the other brand you tested? Christie, for the people that worry about you tearing up their yard, tell them to use a shove. But then most of them don't have a shovel.
I ordered a 4044R on monday. I can't wait! Your channel is great! Lots of great info on all brands!
I have a JD 3046R. It replaced a 4310. The new 3046R has the power and the extra lifting capacity I need. I get pallets of pails of syrup. The pails are double stacked or 24 pails per pallet or about 1500 lbs. with the pallet. I could never lift the pallet of syrup with the 4310 but the 3046R can lift the pallet off my trailer and into the garage. The 3046R is very smooth in operation, bucket works great for dirt work. Mostly I use forks for moving material in my business and blowing snow with my 3 point JD snowblower. We had a 14 inch snowfall last April and I was able to blow the snow and snow drifts without any problems. The 3046R is an open station. I have been very pleased with the 3046R it has worked great. Get the 3rd function valve and the LED lights.
Tim, you looked like a kid in a candy store. I`m surprised that the local Deere dealer didn`t roll out the red carpet for you. Thanks for honest pro and con opinions on the various Deere`s. That lever quick hose disconnect is sweet.
Little John &Big John, the new tag team !!! Like you said 2 is better than 1 !!
Hi Tim , great videos . Not sure if you do a lot of winter work , but having a heated cab is wonderful . I've snow plowed for a few years with a New Holland skidloader with a heated cab , it worked very well . Just thought I would mentioned it , if you where considering model with the cab . Keep up the good work .
Tim, you heave me wanting to go with a 3 series, just because! 😂❤️👍🏽
Love my 3039r open station with midmount PTO. The cabs are plush and the reduce the operator room. Especially legroom
Great video all of the tractors are just beautiful.
Voice of a true tractor lover :-)
Nice to see you at JD. I went with the Kioti for a compact but it was a hard choice. No dealers for either close. I really liked the review by dealer and yourself. That deal on 2017 sounded tempting but never heard the numbers. Luck on the search, Bob
Nice video! It’s like being a kid in a candy store, so much to choose from.
Looks like the new 3 series has followed kubota with an auto throttle? Nice feature if so. Nice looking tractor. I would always want a cab if given a choice but I get the visibility is an issue. I can tell you that you do get to know the tractor and get used to running them with cabs . Nothing beats working in extreme temps and being comfortable. Awesome verse at the end. Thanks for the video
Tim I would go with the 3046r. Small frame size 46 horsepower. You can't go wrong! I bought the 3033r 2 years ago, the only regret is I didn't go with max horsepower for frame size. I do love my 3033r, but some implements do need more horsepower! I've been watching you videos before I bought my tractor. Keep the videos coming!!
In the 70s we had a John Deere Lanz, a model made after purchasing the Lanz Tractor company. You could call yours; Lance.
I really like your tractor shopping vids!!!
Thanks Mike!
I did your suggestion on that brush cutter on mine and it increase the lift height tremendously.
Call the new deere Little John! I had the 1025r and recenlty switched over to the 3025e and am very happy. Night and day difference. With the bigger sized engine and chassis, you can definitely feel that it is more tractor. I liked the 1025r but i love this 3025e. Anything you want, you can just add on later like air seats.
Linh Tran I had the 3025E and went to a 4044m! Not as big of a difference as 1 to 3, but definitely a big one! But having run a 1025 and 1023 yes it’s HUGE going up to a 3025!
I was totally thinking Johnny 3 as well. Short Circuit is my favorite movie of all time. You have me itching to drive over to AgPower or Petitt Equipment and take a look at the 3 and 4 series myself. Not that I have a need right now.
Reynolds has always had it going on. Well stocked, multiple locations and lines. They were my go to for JCB parts for years. I don't think they carry that line any longer though.
Tim Cristi I really like shopping with you learn what's out there keep us posted on your shopping
God Bless
PaK
Thanks for coming along with us!
My dad has a John Deere 5325 4x4 cab tractor with Power reverser and it is a awesome utility tractor.
For what you guys are doing you may want to check out the 2032R. I just bought one. Nice machine. Good luck.
Those little cab tractors are interesting. I sometimes wish I had a cab on my Kubota B2650.
Tim
Love the channel and series of videos, I grew up using John Deere tractors on the farm. I wouldn't waste money on Deere utility, compact or, subcompact tractors. Low power and aluminum frame and rears.....no weight no power =no guts
Finally the John Deere video !!
Oh my the green paint!
Just so you know on the 3033,3039, and 3046R tractors you can get the 14.4 gallon per minute hydraulic pump and that means that you are able to get a front skid steer mount system and get a front snow blower and be able to tackle snow drifts over 3 feet high and have a grapple and get a front broom
Love my 3720 cab tractor. It replaced a 2520. I use it on the farm mostly.
Nice tractor, for sure!
Great to see you looking at the John Deere. You could name the new tractor "Big John" or "Big JD".
were planing to get rid of all our deere and getting all kubotas
The front hydraulics quick connect is super nice.
I’ve had a 3039R I bought new since 2014, it’s a cab model and is JD’s smallest cab tractor that runs a belly mower. I wanted to mow with AC but it’s a tight cab for me at 6’2. I’ve since added all LED lights. It’s a great little tractor that is far nicer then any competition. I started it in -13 unplugged this winter (never run it in winter) and it fired right up. If your on flat ground get narrow tires, steering will be much tighter.
Thanks!
Hi Tim and Christy great video and a lot of good tips John junior would be a good name for Johnny if you get a bigger Tractor just call the new one Johnny
I have a 2018 3039R, it is plenty of tractor and only 3 PTO hp less than the 3046...and thousands less in $$$. I have the 320R loader and the John Deere Rootgrapple, etc. I highly recommend this tractor.
Hello folks. I really appreciate your videos and seeing your jobs and solutions. You two seem to work so well together, a true team, very inspiring to me. I've even been able to get my wife watching you guys too, due to the information you present and the tone of your videos, they are very good in content, quality and editing. I just took delivery of a new Massey Ferguson GC1710lbt last week and now have a list of additions I want to add, many of them I learned about from you guys. I hope you get the perfect tractor for your business and it looks like you are genuinely considering all the options, I'm sure you'll make the correct choice. Thanks again and Best Regards!
Thanks very much for the kind words.
At the farm I work at we use a 4 series tractor with a cab and it works really good
John Deere makes a 3 function single point loader attachment. Think it's first available with a loader on a 5 series. I know that at least with the 4R and I believe the 3R that with the Cab there isn't space for the 2 function single point attachment. With that open station 3 series I'm sure you could parts counter a 3 function coupler. They are sweet! Hopefully y'all add Big John to the stable!
The loop around!
Loved the video and the scripture was perfect!
Thanks Gordon.
I have a 2032R @2400lbs plus loader and anything else you might add it is too heavy for yard work until mid summer. Leaves ruts in the lawn. I think Johnny fits the bill perfectly for what you use him for. I would go large 3 or 4 series for other than back yard work my 2032 has to do both so it is a compromise on both ends. as far as getting work done, I love my 2032r because of versatility and speed of being small but it lacks a little in hydraulics. I went with 32 rather than 38 because I don't need horsepower and didn't want a turbo. In each series the upper horsepower is the the same engine but with turbo added for increased horsepower.
I watched most of your videos, before choosing my tractor and would have gone with the 1025r except I need larger wheel diameters for rougher terrain.
Hope to see you stay John Deere and hope you make a good choice for you.
By the way, I called my 2032 Little John until we bought a John deere riding mower (because the tractor is too big and too heavy) now the mower is little John and the tractor is Big John and the grandson has an electric tractor called Tiny.
New name?" Deloris" plus I seen the pipes on Christy!!! Wow!
I have a large woods and cut down trees for firewood, so I'm most interested in lift capacity. I've seen other tractors in your videos that have much greater lift capacities for much less than the Deeres. I really wish they could up their game in that category. God Bless.
I like the Deere I just looked over the attachments and if you dont get a cab because you want to speak to people easily you can get a umbrella or just a top for it to stay out of the sun .
I actually bought the 4052R that you looked at. Nice unit. I added the 4 in one bucket which I really like.
Cool! That unit had every conceivable option. Congratulations!
you can get the single point hydralic lever on the l60 series. you can also get it on the third function. but it Is an option. love your vids and you will find the perfect tractor
I’d stick with Deere. I think Johnny needs a brother the same color as him lol. The benefits that come with the green paint are well worth the extra money.
Those are Nice Little tractors
A new, bigger Deere, could be "Big John."
45Deere9500 sounds like my cellmate
Your getting another deere. I can smell it. :-)
Nice video tim .i think john deere is the best tractor tim 👍👍
Your welcome on this suggestion on JD.
We have had great luck with my 3032e
Tim, you are a bad influence! Lol Having watched this series of videos you have me leaning toward a 3 series with a cab rather than the open station. I’ve enjoyed the series, thanks for sharing!
Uhoh!
Cab is the only way to go makes every operation less dirty. I have a 1963 830 case thats an open station and I did some rotary mowing with it when it was a little dry and I told myself never again will I mow with that tractor when I can mow in the climate controlled cab of my 3720. I understand your concern of being able to communicate with each other on jobs. But I think the guy that had the idea of getting radios to communicate with each other would solve the cab communication problem and solve the openstation issues like freezing in the winter and sweating to death in the summer let alone eating dust from mowing tilling and material moving.
brad coddington Helpful information. I’ve convinced myself that a cab 3520/3720 is the route for me.
I like "Johnny 3" and I too often say " I married her" with a great big smile. You folks are great.
Thanks Bob!
Yes on the brush hog I welded some lower pins on the brush hog alot better hight and I have a 4300 john deere. Trust me brother it's not hard to weld it. But yes I get what you are saying o don't understand why alot of them don't do that . I really like that 4052r that is a nice looking tractor. But I also like the 3033r and the 3039r
the 3039 r looked nice and short ideal for getting on the trailor
You can make the quick attach hoses for Johnny with some new hoses. Saw 1 on the used lot on s 1026R last week looked good wished I took pictures to make 1 on my 1025R but didn't have my phone with me.
I’ve had a 2015 3033r and now have a 2017 3046r we really like the tractor but if I got to do over again we wouldn’t have got a Deere. They have spent more time in the shop than anything we have ever owned. Front axles seals don’t last, Hydrolics leak off, Hydrolic pumps leak oil just sitting on dealer lots, and the plastic hoods are super cheap for a tractor that cost what it does. The 72 inch auto connect deck is awesome tho
Hey, Kubota makes a narrow series tractor with tons of power. I have an mx5200 kubota and its absolutely amazing. I use an 8 foot brush hog and 8 foot finish mower with it. tons of power. (I have a feeling no one will be able to convert you to kubota though lol)
tim u are the man u Like the green n Yellow Like i do i Like the 4066 and the 5075m and the old iron Like the 2wd 4630 with The 4 post canopy
Very nice looking tractors Tim but the cab one made you look very big in it ! i get lost with all the models on JD but i bet you get a JD i know you like them and they are great tractors ! LOL have a great weekend ! Curt :-)
Need to put some pressure on Kioti to give Tim a loaner.
Have you considered a skid steer, tracked or wheeled , they have the dump hight you need,the have grapples buckets and forks and more.
Hi Tim.just to let you know the Kubota l60 series has optional quick connect hydraulics Have a nice day and God bless
almost 100k fam
Hey buddy if you've never tried a 4 in I bucket. Please go try one out I think you might like it. It takes a little getting use to. But it's well worth the investment . But that's just me OK. I'm just saying OK
Unfortunately I don't think the singlepoint hydraulic coupler is available on the 3 series. My folks have a 3039 and looked into that since the loader connections are a pain to reconnect and the dealer said that wasn't available. They do have the rear scv with the button on the joystick. Dad just runs his grapple hoses to that and it works great. He also picked up a jd to skid steer quick attach plate so he can use his pallet forks larger grapple and other accessories he has for his 5203.
Could you get turf tires for the tractor so you don't rip up much lawn
The single point hydraulic hookup is nice and quick I have them on my JD 6430 tractors but I have had a few O rings tear in them. Then they leak like crazy and replacing O rings is a pain.
Helpful feedback, thanks!
Remember to get a tractor that is easy to get in and out of. If you get a tractor with a cab, get a big enough one. How much do you use your quick hitch? You usually have someone that can help if they know what to do though.
Big Johnny would be awesome!
hi Tim good video,i think the tractor you want may depend on the jobs you do but if just wanna go little bigger more hp I go with the 3 series its just little bigger than johnny I don't know its up to you and would be on the jobs you could do with it also,and places can get it into,id get one without the cab also seems more view obstructive with the cab,ok good luck Tim,for sure ajob lookin for a nother tractor,im still lookin for a lawn JD tractor but might just get a new one,ok Later Tim,good luck hope you find the tractor you need.
Tim I have a JD 4120 (discontinued but there is an equivalent). It’s a 43 hp and I have no complaints. It’s a power reverser or shuttle shift. It has done everything I have asked of it and to be honest I’ve pushed it beyond its limits a few times.
It pulls my 6’ equipment well and I just ordered a backhoe attachment and waiting on it to come in.
I know you know all about JD but just wanted to let you that my 4 series has been great these past 8 years I’ve owned it and it has about 430 hours on it. Bought it in 2010 new
Sounds good Shawn!
Get the 3033R you won;t regret it, love mine!
As Gomer would say " Nice real nice " !!! I am not to far from Knoxville Tennessee , so I would go orange ! But not my money so ignore previous statement !! Really, really appreciate God's Word !! Thank you !!! You all be safe and may God continue to bless you. !!!!!!! Eddy
Thanks Eddy!
The 2038R looks really good with more power and more stability.
I see Green in your eyes guys!
That looks like You Tim 🤓 and Mrs. Tim yeah I think you need one with cab on it 😛
The search for Johnny's sibling saga continues 😀
Jet that John Deere with that cab 😆
Hey Tim and Christy, Have you stopped by Roudebush Implements in Westfield yet? Give Brian a chance to show you around at the Massey Ferguson choices. I love your videos as I have been doing the same chores as you for along time. Happy hunting.Thanks, Al.
Welp guess I need that 4 series... I wish!
Nice tractor that 3 series
I said earlier that I bought a kioti rx7320 cab,with a loader and grapple,it has 80 hrs on it has been a great tractor so far,and it was less than $54,000, I traded a Massey Ferguson 275 on it
Personally, I'd stay with a Deere. That way you only need to go one place for parts and accessories. May even get discounted prices!
Tomas Keating discounted prices from Deere 😂😂😂
Tomas Keating but do think they should stick to Deere
Corbin Murphy
I personally like Kubota. But since they already have one Deere and a Case, one would have to run around to too many places for parts. Just keep it in the family. But get a cab model for ac and heat. If the job requires bigger equipment, then let the homeowners beware.
Tomas Keating The JDs are already pre programmed to find their own way to ,and back from the parts dept, they need them that often !!.
Gerald Swain
But who am I to tell another person what to buy? I, myself, think Deere is over priced and over inflated. I like orange tractors, Kubota. I'd say Kubota offers more options and is a better quality. I like American made, but......
The single point is 700$. I have it on my 2038r and love it. Good luck go green.
You should look at new Holland to.And mabe a challenger if they do a compact tractor
A shucks I’m disappointed oh well take care buddy have a great day😉👍🏻🐝
Based on size and weight I like the looks of the 2038R. It's a little bigger than Johnny but has 37Hp (PTO of 30) I like it can still be loaded and moved to the job without much fuss. I have an older 3005 JD that is rated at 27/24Hp and I would love to have that 37/30Hp sometimes. From the videos, I have watched and types of jobs you guys do the 2038R would run circles around bigger tractors. As it goes with the cab or no cab I like the interaction you guys have with your customers so I would say no cab. This is just me, in the end, your going to have to live with and pay for it so pick whats right for you and your needs.
I have a 3 series and love it.
A 3R?
Tractor Time with Tim no it's a 3032e
The gussets on the 4R loader pins upper and lower are because I broke 2 off of 4 series. The 2 valves in the back that run off the levers are prone to breaking the cable housing on the valve behind the rear tire and they have no idea why. And I’m on my second front axle on my 4052r cab tractor.
I LOVED IT
