It's finally time! After one year and one hundred hours of use...I can finally review the John Deere 3039R Compact Tractor!
I looked at many machines before I purchased this one! I looked at Kioti, New Holland, Mahindra, LS, and Kubota.
While I have had many issues with this 3039R...I believe I made the right decision. Although...I was very tempted by the New Holland Boomer 40.
In this video...I go over some of the pros and cons of the John Deere tractor.
Enjoy! - Авто та транспорт
Great honest review. I recently bought a new 3039r open station. I wanted the heavier axles and increased lift capacity on the loader over the 3038e. Now that I have some hours on it I can honestly say that it has way more power than my 3025e but if I could have a do over, I would go with the 3038e. I don’t need all frills like cruise control and auto throttle… the loader control gets in the way if I get on or off the right side, I hate the delay in motion when I hit the pedals. I love that it’s a much better built machine but don’t think it was worth the extra $8k over the 3038e.
There are definitely some huge gaps in feature execution on the 3039R. On paper…it’s super advanced…and has been for many years. But the practical and actual use of the machine does seem to fall short of the JD reputation imo.
Hello and Good Day! I watched your video with much interest. I have a 3032E a 4044M and a 3039R Cab. If I had to chose one to keep it would be the Cab. The 2R/3E tractor with the 2 speed transmission is very smooth and quite honestly I have never looked for a lower gear with that tractor. The 4M is very stabile and smooth to run really enjoy using that tractor on bigger jobs. Why would I keep the cab? Hot summers and cold winters cutting firewood and plowing snow. Need a place to cool down and be warm when needed is awesome. Quirks of the cable operation well I have grown to get used to it and figured out the nuance and make it work. Very capable tractor really like my 3039R and I did agree with many of your talking points. But ease of operation goes to the open station tractor where on and off constantly does play into many things. My dealer has been very good and work with them quite well and that really was the reason I have Green. The other dealers Orange, Red-Orange, Red-Gray, and Blue. In my area well if they were nicer and had better reputations might have had a few sales. Thank You for your review!
Thank you for your thoughts! I still like my 3039R. Although…if they ever come out with this cab on a 2038R…that’s what I’m buying!
Love my 3039r
If you had to pick one thing you loved most about it…what would that be?
@@DemoDad101 comfort and ease of all functions with plenty of power for its size. I can maneuver it in tight situations even with cab
I also noticed how insanely maneuverable this was. It was similar to my 1025R but so much more capable!
You're absolutely correct about the loader joystick. Horrible, horrible design. There is no way to "finesse" anything.
Real question is, how has it been dealing with UAT… my experience hasn’t been good.
I had a 5min blurb about it in the first draft of this video and I removed it. The initial stages of the purchase experience sucked. Then I got a good salesman and it was much better. The after sale support from sales has been a joke. Service has always been B- or higher. Which is acceptable to me.
Yeah it’s sad bc I really like my tractor, but support has sucked. The turnover rate has been crazy at least @ my UAT. My next will probably be massy or kubota.
@Tools-Tested I don’t know if I can not have a John Deere lol. I think I may be a tractor snob! If I wasn’t….I think I’d have purchased the New Holland or the Kioti.
