Digging a Drainage Ditch - 2038R vs 3025E 

Check out more of our tractor videos here:

I bought my Kioti CK3510 SE Hydrostatic tractor, added Factory 3rd function, six foot rototiller, duel cylinder grapple, pallet forks and a six foot flail mower in 2021. The out the door price for everything including tax was just over $30,000.00. I also got zero down and 0% financing for 84 months. I found that deal hard to beat and I haven't had one problem or one regret in the last 2 years with any of it. Great Tractor.. Bill Hensley..

Welcome to the clean shirt club! Tractor Hard! 🚜💪!

Great video.. I had the 3032E and was not happy with the lift capacity of the loader. So I moved up to the 3033R and this one has been great for all the different tasks I get into. The power, the size the lift have been just enough. But yes, the price up there for the R series.

Awesome video. I have been looking for this comparison.

Great video, Brock! As you know, I have a 3046R. I decided on a 3 series tractor, mostly because of the hydraulic capacity and the ground clearance. The R series has a lot of bells and whistles that the other 3 series tractors don't, but the one that stood out was the heavier front axle. The economy tractors in the 3 series generally come with front axles of lower weight capacity. I move some pretty heavy logs around, so I wanted to make sure I didn't stress the tractor too much by choosing that smaller axle. I may never need all the horsepower but found all the other traits a necessity for me. And after several years of using it, I'm completely satisfied. The larger size concerned me when the thought of tight spaces in the woods came up, but the split brakes handled that issue perfectly. And the horsepower may come in handy when I finally get a tiller and a flail mower. I love the way you always compare tractors. So far, you've said nothing to make me regret my purchase, but you do say plenty when it comes to driving my desire for more implements! Love your channel. Keep up the good work!

Brock, I bet you were wondering if I’d comment, yes I will, good to see 2 green tractors on this episode.

Howdy Brock! Really interesting video - enjoyed it! Both the comparison and the work on the drainage ditch. Thanks for sharing 🤠

3025e is the most popular tractor at my Deere dealer. 80% of the compact tractors on the lot are the 3025e.

Unless there was a big difference in operating RPMs, the 3025e sounds less whiny in the video. The 2 series almost has the HST whine like some other brands.

I believe JD top 2 sellers of small tractors are the 1025R and the 3025E.

John Deere is Awesome for the larger tractors, only these little compact kinda to look a bit funny compared to the other brands 🤷🤔

Two tractors, working in tandem, get a lot of work done quickly.

I really like the 2r series but wish it had the 3 speed transmission that the 3r series had. I think the big problems i have with the 3E series is non removable loader, lack of 3 speed and the lack of mid pto. I get that not everyone needs those items but all of the competitors have them at the same price.

IH and IH Case 😊

There's a large JD dealer here, acres of green. They advertise a lot on TV and radio, and in print. They push the packages, tractor, trailer, brush hog. I didn't realize there were so many different models, it would be hard to choose!

I think that’s the first 3E tractor you have had on ur channel. Bitter sweet day for me to say the least. I would like to see a real world heads up comparison between the 2 loaders. On paper I believe yours lifts around 400 lbs more. That’s a huge difference on a small tractor….

Brock, I don't remember when you said you bought yours, but tractor prices have jumped a good bit since 2019. Steve's identical package today is likely $5K more.

I like the look of the 3025e better, the wheel and tire size but think the actual weight of it is less than yours stock to stock with a loader.
