John Deere 2038R 300 Hour Update

[@coder010]

I have to do the same thing with my auto connect glad somebody else had the same problem

[@Katyhillfarmer]

Thanks for watching

[@Harvesttimebluegrassgospel]

I have a 4044m absolutely love it. Use it to move hay and feed cows, Bush hogging, and upkeep on a driveway. Also raise a small garden with it.

[@Katyhillfarmer]

Knipp Cattle Farm I looked at them this summer my dealer said they was having a lot of problems with them what’s your experience

[@Harvesttimebluegrassgospel]

Katyhillfarmer haven’t had a single issue. My father in-law has one also with around 2000 hours on it no issues there either.

[@Katyhillfarmer]

Knipp Cattle Farm do you have the hydro

[@Harvesttimebluegrassgospel]

Katyhillfarmer yes sir. So far I’m completely satisfied. If money was no option I’d probably have a 4066r with a cab but a lot more money. My current plan for the farm is to pay this off and keep it and maybe add a used cab tractor on down the road. I do plan on 2 upgrades for the 4044m that I wished I’d done from the start and that is the seat, and some rear remotes. The seat is fine unless your on it for hours and hours bush hogging a rough pasture. I didn’t get remotes because I don’t have a need for them but I’d like to pick up a few pieces in the future that would need those.

[@Harvesttimebluegrassgospel]

Katyhillfarmer also I remember in a video that you are in West Virginia but I can’t remember where. I’m in Kentucky and got mine at ag pro in Flemingsburg, Ky great people and very helpful and they don’t try to push you in any direction to make more money. When I went there they said what do you use your tractor for I told them and then they suggested to get either the 4044m or the 4952m.

I'm glad to see your tractor is worked, and not waxed n Armour All. I bashed in the grill on my 2038R too. There is 4 bolts at the bottom of the grill assy and a plug it comes right up n off to bend it back. Excellent access to the radiator / coolers to clean also. Check those front axle bolts too! The reverse software delete is a must! Great video!!

[@Katyhillfarmer]

thanks for such a nice comment and i have to admit i do wax it about twice a year but i do work the dog crap out of it with that being said not sure if you watched it but a made a set of rear tire chains completely different tractor now Again thanks for watching hope you subscribe and we can chat again

[@fiveporchfarmms2128]

Have not had that PTO noise on my 2038r but I only have 7.5 hours on it. I'll get around to bending and breaking for long!!! I enjoy your videos. Thanks for putting them out there.

[@Katyhillfarmer]

Five Porch Farm MS mine never had that noise either until about 250 hours on it but all the research shows it’s common

[@stephanfiebich1561]

I have a 1026r and am looking to upsize to a 2038r

[@Katyhillfarmer]

love mine

[@Al-tl2ov]

Just use a bottle torch if you need to remove the bolt with LocTite on it, the heat melts the plastic to where you can remove it. Thanks for sharing.

[@Katyhillfarmer]

thanks for sharing that info i hope in never have to take it off but i will keep this in mind hope to see more of your comments on my channel

[@raywatson6701]

I have a 2019 2038r

[@Katyhillfarmer]

How do you like it so far???r Thanks for watching

[@michaelkraeh4697]

Run it a 1500 rpms instead of idle most of the time and it will extend your regen hours. For a revenue system the hotter the better.

[@Katyhillfarmer]

Agreed

[@jaypreddy8185]

I have the 2032R with around 180 hrs, no problems so far. My rear PTO certainly has never sounded like that; however I do not use my rear pto much

[@Katyhillfarmer]

mine got close to 400 no and going strong

[@bvinduck]

I love this 2038R. I wish it had the new R14 tires. not R4's

[@Katyhillfarmer]

i agree with you i put chains on mine unbelievable the difference it made

[@dannyboy9254]

I want to get one of those tractor 2038r but john deer don't have any

[@Katyhillfarmer]

have alot of people who want mine

[@jamesherrick9697]

I have a 1948 Ford 8n. I'm in the market for a tractor and that's what brought me here. I have 14 acres and 8 of the 14 are flat west Texas prairie grass/brush. Going to me using rotary cutter more than anything else. Suggestions?

[@Katyhillfarmer]

i think a 2038 or 3 seris would be plenty

[@dereklees5508]

Hi, I’ve got the 2036R which is exactly the same tractor bar the engine is not fitted with DPF/Regen. My PTO makes exactly the same noise as yours does. Did it from day one and no issues with it otherwise and I’ve worked it hard too.

[@Katyhillfarmer]

Thanks for taking the time and telling me this makes me worry sometimes about the pto

[@f.davidbush9093]

The 2036. Is a non USA tractor. I have a cousin in Germany has one with a factory Cab.

[@bruceg79ify]

I have 2032R 650hrs. No noise on pto. If you ran too long of pto shaft it messes up bearings. Take to dealer.

[@Katyhillfarmer]

thanks for the info

[@jackweeks8099]

I have a 1026R and love it! But, a 2038R like yours is what I’d really like to have! Deleted emissions of course... 😂

[@Katyhillfarmer]

I ran a 1026r nice tractor for sure but I agree or I would say everyone would agree with the emissions statement thanks for watching and have a great day

[@Harvie4ever]

We’re getting a 2038

[@Katyhillfarmer]

congrats thanks for watching

[@ElkCreekAcres]

Still loving mine, it's a beast compared to my 25R, and I have a self-leveling loader coming for it.

[@Katyhillfarmer]

Elk Creek Acres can’t wait air to see the video

[@EricStLouis-op5cq]

2038R first Tractor and working it.

[@Katyhillfarmer]

Eric St. Louis yes this 2038r was my first Deere all I can say is wow

[@BBLandServices]

Vehicle hours is when you are moving.

[@Katyhillfarmer]

Good Point

[@BBLandServices]

@@Katyhillfarmer it you look at the hours meters. If the decimal point is not flash that meter is not turning. Take the PTO. Look at it with it off then turn it on. Will start flashing. Same with the vehicle when you put in get and start moving. And ending don’t flash if motor is not running. It’s the little things I pay attention too. I should be medicated probably lol

[@BBLandServices]

My 3025e pto did that from day 1.. everyone said it was normal and never caused an issue for the 200hrs I had it. I don’t think my 2038r dose it or at least I haven’t noticed it.

[@Katyhillfarmer]

Mine never done it earlie on but does now for sure does not make that noise with the mid

[@Harvie4ever]

We’re getting are first tractor witch will be a 2038 John deere

[@Katyhillfarmer]

they are a nice tractor hope it treats you good i know the first thing i dont to mine was disabled the rio for the mid pto

[@blessed7fold]

We are too and it will also be a 2038R

[@Katyhillfarmer]

@@blessed7fold that’s great you will love this tractor for sure ask any questions thanks and for watching

[@deanmoore420]

Hey buddy you won’t have to worry about it if Biden does away with our fuel

[@Katyhillfarmer]

True

[@adamjones8218]

We'll all have much more to worry about. The entire planet runs on diesel - Jet engines, Trains, nearly all delivery trucks/ 18 wheelers, Ships etc.

[@bvinduck]

I have the same 2038R same problem: front mower attaching arm spring. I have replaced it and about 1 month later same problem. The spring doesn't hold it up any more. The loader stand "bolt" came out. I've had to replace.

[@Katyhillfarmer]

mine to i ended up putting Loctite on it

[@buferddogman5995]

I have a 2021 2038R rear pto rattles to me it sounds more like grinding. At the dealership now only 23 hours on it. They say it’s normal I say fix it been a mechanic for 50 years there’s a problem. Now I wish I would have bought something else disappointed 😔

[@Katyhillfarmer]

Mine still running strong but dont notice it as much

[@bvinduck]

My PTO doesn't make that noise. Oh I have over 300hrs on my 2038R

[@Katyhillfarmer]

make me worry for sure but i dont have no metal shavings in my oil so thats good

[@michaelkraeh4697]

So far I'm happy with my 32r but I think I'm go to upgrade to a 3r series undecided yet. What is the weight of those round bales you have?

[@Katyhillfarmer]

800 some more

[@FredFlintstone21]

I enjoyed watching your video! Have you had any issues yet with your linear actuator that raises/lowers your mid mount mower? Theres guys on green tractor talk saying that theirs shit the bed. Mine has been good so far. Supposedly deere is coming out with a better design this spring. Anyways thanks for sharing!

[@Katyhillfarmer]

i do not and i watched your video good stuff

[@5075E]

You never mentioned why you want a 3039R. Don't know what your operation is , but a 3039R for tractor work and a zero turn for mowing would seem like a better option. Paying $28,000+ for a lawn mower to me is crazy. Just the deck alone costs more than two home depot JD riding mowers. Why pile lawn cutting hours on a tractor that can do the big stuff? Burn up the zero turn mower while the tractor sits in the shop waiting to do other chores.

[@Katyhillfarmer]

I agree with you its along story but yes i wish i would have done what you said above i was looking at trading for a 5055e and getting a zero turn just have not pulled the trigger thanks for watching hope you subscribe and catch a live stream so we could talk more about this

[@chadvanorden5602]

Mine is that the dealership now for the third time it’s having a trouble with the region. Only 235hrs on it. Does yours have any problems like that?

[@Katyhillfarmer]

No I have never had a problem with that said i run on road fuel and have always let the tractor regen while under load or very high rpm. what's happened to your will it not run or just loss of power

[@chadvanorden5602]

Soot goes to 77% then it wants to regen. I let it do it. It idols up to about 1500 RPM I leave it alone don’t work it. Takes 40 mins. Soot only goes down to 70% and work it again when it’s completed for a couple hours goes back up to 77% then what’s to regen again. Never goes down to 5% or anything.

[@Katyhillfarmer]

@@chadvanorden5602 when mine goes in to regen I take the rpm to 200 or little higher you can really smell it burning off at that point but hopefully it’s under warranty hope you subscribe to the channel been great chatting about this

[@chadvanorden5602]

It’s Still under warranty:) yea good talking to you. Keep up the good vids.

[@Katyhillfarmer]

@@chadvanorden5602 thanks and if you don’t mind please let me know what they find

[@deanmoore3776]

Sounds like a bad bearing or a gear

[@Katyhillfarmer]

Dont say that Dean

[@adamvanderbur6731]

I am 42 i have the same thing mine has the 72d mower deck and loader and backhoe

[@Katyhillfarmer]

Adam Vanderbur How do you like your 72 in to much or mows great

[@bvinduck]

I would love to know how to disable the mow in reserve switch!!!

[@Katyhillfarmer]

its very easy just a bunch of button pushing there is a video of it on KZbin on a 2032 which is the same tractor

[@Katyhillfarmer]

also hope to see more comments in the future from you

[@adamvanderbur6731]

Hell no thats not normal sounds like it has a teeth missing or something

[@Katyhillfarmer]

dont say that lol you just made my mind start going crazy
