Best investment for my 38HP needs
I've been using the John Deere 3038E for over 5 years on my farm and it has never let me down. The fuel consumption is reasonable and the hydraulics are strong enough for all my implements. Highly recommend for medium-scale farming.
✓ Pros
- Easy to maintain
- Strong hydraulics
- Good resale value
✕ Cons
- Cab noise at high RPM
- Parts can take time to arrive
Reliable performer for wheat season
Purchased the 3038E two seasons ago. The 1.64L engine gives good torque at lower RPMs which saves fuel. The dealer service is excellent in our area. Would recommend to any farmer looking for a dependable 38HP tractor.
✓ Pros
- Fuel efficient
- Good torque
- Dealer support
✕ Cons
- Steering can be heavy when loaded
- Could use more rear remotes
