John Deere 3032E Review, Lift Capacity and Curtis Cab!

[@generichardson7372]

One small tip I could give is on piles that have been rained on and set up, is to back drag from the top of the pile to break the dirt loose then scoop up the loose dirt.

[@16B9]

I have the a 2012 1026R that I had the Mauser cab installed last year by my JD dealer ($5,200). This year's winter we had 33" of snow which kept me busy moving snow with my 54" two stage snow blower on the front of my tractor. It was a real life saver keeping my long driveway open and four other neighbors places. The Mauser cab is a bit more up scaled than the Curtis but if my garage door opening was taller, I would have opted for the deluxe Curtis. They both make a fine cab. I had one on my under powered 4x2 Gator. After adding the cab to my Gator I ended up selling it for a 825i Gator. The little 4x2 couldn't handle the extra weight of the cab. Thanks for the informative video :)

[@rayeddy528]

Great stuff Christy and Tim !! Thank you !! When dealing with mud , I go in high on the pile and curl . When you go on ground level , you are lifting the whole pile above your bucket . Works for my BX . Stay safe and God bless !!!! EDDY

[@cmja2012]

I had the Kubota BX 23s and it had the same issues. Thats why I sold it and bought Kubota L3901. I have not had any issues since. Very happy with it.

[@guy5322]

I have the l2501 with the same la525 loader. It is a beast! I can lift a 66 inch bucket full no problem. With my wr long toothbar it would chew through that pile of dirt.

[@marksleeper3752]

my 870 with a 440 loader with a 6' bucket has no problem. I usually put the bucket on edge an put it in the pile and back drag the pile then go into it. I do that if the pile is hard

[@marksleeper3752]

I hope that helps you Thanks Mark I use to train people on skid steers and big loaders that weigh up to40000 lbs case ,JD ,jcb,komatsu,volvo also with 12' 14' pusher/buckets/14'quick switch blades on them where I worked and ran loaders in pits on the out side of work with my dump truck

[@chrisspence3216]

I learned that when lifting heavy or wet material or a pile that’s been there a while , start at mid way or closer to top because at the bottom your trying to pick up entire pile not just what’s in the the bucket . Makes since If ya think about it .

[@TractorTimewithTim]

You’ll have better luck working the bottom of the pile. It may Sioux’s counter intuitive, but it works. Especially on loose material.

[@chrisspence3216]

Yes on loose is no problem , it’s the wet or old pile that’s all one as ya can see when ya pick up a bit breaks it up .

[@canvids1]

Tim I operated several hydraulic machines when working on the railway. A man was working on my machine one day and I asked him about lifting more. He told me that he could give me lots more lift power but the machine is set up so you can only lift a max load for that machine for safety reasons and that is tipping over and breaking things etc. hope this helps.

[@garyiannone8925]

Tim, great video. I run a 3039R and it's a beast. One thing I noticed. Maybe you can take a look at is when driving into a pile like that, I think the first move of the bucket when you start the lift is out and up. I believe it is the out that is stopping you and not the up. At the start of your lift, you are trying to move the entire pile forward just a little before you actually lift. To avoid this, you either need to back up a little before lifting or lift as you are driving forward into the pile before you get stuck. I don't believe driving forward until you get stuck is going to get the most out of your lift. When you did your lift test, you did not have this restriction and that's why it performed much better.

[@bradfoster6255]

Tim when I was comparing tractors last year the Kioti CK2610HST that I ended up going with had more hydralic flow than the Deere 3032E which in turn gave it more lift power. I'm not saying either tractor is better or worse, I just picked the one that best fit my needs.

[@willparrish7646]

I have the 2510 and it's been fantastic but the backhoe makes it super light in the front

[@98ramtough]

I love that there are so many options on the market. I have had a 2305, a 2320, and recently traded the 2320 on a new 3025E. I do not need a belly mower, since I mow with an x754. I wanted a full Cat1 lift height and love the size and compactness of this 3E series tractor. The 300E loaders are not as nice as the R version, or the 200/300cx loaders were. But the machine is a lot less money than the new R series. They sell a lot of them, and for a lot of folks they work perfect. I fall into that category. For my small horse farm it works perfect.

[@jerrynibarger9148]

Nice video. Very good comparison. May I suggest that you aim a little higher on the mound of dirt. If you break the mound up enough you can get a few buckets before you have to break up some more. Even some of the mighty front end loaders have to eat their way into the mound.

[@hsmith3844]

OOOHHHH, I thought you purchased a 3032, not a loaner. I really like my 3039R. I just added a hydraulic toplink, best move I believe. Thanks for the video

[@danlewis243]

Wow- the new 25 HP Branson 2515R outclasses both deeres in FEL performance will lift 2100 lb to full height of 100 inches- at the pin @ $16K heck of a deal

[@kahvac]

Your Branson probably doesn't have a hydraulic whine like this JD 3032E also.

[@timothygunckel7162]

On my 3025E if it won't break the dirt out, I hit the lift and curl at the same time then tap the reverse pedal, this lifts the rear end up and I use that weight to break the dirt out. Of course I am working with packed clay.

[@Videogamerforlife69]

[@heavyhauler79]

Tim, I also know is that the different materials, will depend on how the tractor will lift or curl the material, plus I have experimented that myself. I have lifted objects that will pick up the back end of the tractor, and I just know the limitations of the loader attachment.

[@christopheriimcguire5315]

Tim, something doesn’t sound right with that 3 series tractor’s hydraulics. My wife and I picked up a 3320 with a 300cx loader last week after watching your videos for about a year. Thanks for all the information! It certainly helped in the decision making process.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

3320 with 300cx is totally different beast. Compare the specs!

[@Formulabruce]

@@TractorTimewithTim The JD "D" and "E" series with fixed loaders have a hydraulic "test port" on the right side of the HST. It has a cap on it. You can use a Kens bolt on hooks Gauge, plug it in and curl the loader joystick to easy test the pressure. My E series was at 2400, and should be 2500. After the adjustment I can lift 1200 lbs of coal in bags , on a pallet and put it in my pick up truck. 100 psi can make a difference !

60 payments of $120 is only $7200. I think there's a misplaced decimal or missing zero!

[@timkd5vmv583]

Great video. I really think the issue is that the dirt you are trying to move has just become so compacted over the winter. It was wet when you pulled it out of the lake and sitting all winter getting rained and snowed on has set it up like concrete. Try using Casey to bust up the mud and let Christy use the tractor to move the mud to where you are putting it. Tell the girls Hello for me. Signed The "other" Tim with tractors.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Agree...but that is the real world. Folks don’t spend much of their time digging in loose dirt.

[@WPAOutdoors]

i don't understand people saying to not get this tractor, or a John Deere... or that something is wrong with this tractor. It performs as expected and is also priced accordingly. These tractors are targeting a very specific use/market.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I agree. That is certainly our position. I want folks to be aware that the 3e and 3R are NOT the same tractor. The price difference is justified.

[@fooddude9921]

@@TractorTimewithTim My dealer actually talked me out of getting the R, he said it wasn't worth the extra price for what was essentially comfort features.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Robert Regan that is too bad. The 3R has essentially double the lifting capabilities of the 3e. The 2R has more capabilities than the 3e!

[@fooddude9921]

@@TractorTimewithTim Well, the 2R and 3E are virtually tied in every category, the exception having to due with the loader (since the front axle capacity is better in the 2R) - the dumping height and the breakout force of the 2R is better, but the heaviest thing I lift on a regular basis is a full load of dirt and that never comes close to the 3E lift capacity. I did lift my zero-turn mower that got stuck in a ditch once and needed the full 845lbs lift capacity (the same for 2R and 3E) since the zero turn weighed in at 845lbs also. The 3E rear axle can handle more weight, but both 3-point hitch capacities are the same, so I guess my 675 tiller would do just as well on either. I didn't need a mower deck either, so that wasn't a factor, plus the 2R cost a couple grand more, so for my needs the 3E made sense and I guess that's what matters as you always say. Now, I would've liked to have the option of getting a backhoe and at the time I was out of luck with the 3E, but low and behold out came the 370B, so I'm back in business. In the end though I would've been much better prepared for the purchase had I came across TTWT first - keep rocking the vids!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Robert Regan yep. Sounds like you are good. I’m not positive that the 370b will work on older 3e’s...only the newest ones. But maybe yours is new enough In any case, glad you are enjoying the machine. They are lots of fun.

Nice video tim and i like that cab ,not too big and not too small

[@ArizVern]

Found with tooth bar It's harder to dig dirt, (Edit: 2004 New Holland TC33 ordered with Ag R1 tires, not R4 tires. has just over 1800 hrs today.) Took tooth bar off 15 years ago. I'm so hard on equipment, NO WATER WENT IN TIRES. Take small bites, build bigger loose pile of damp dirt... Gone through second set of R1 Ag front tires, have new set in shop ready to mount. Run tractor at 25k, don't have trouble curling universal quick attach bucket with three tooth grapple bolt-on, with third function. Also have three point Tip and Tilt with Quick Hitch. Bent frame on my 1/2 ton 4x4 truck, bought 3/4 ton 4x4 kept breaking axles. Bought One Ton 4x4 crew cab, never broke it.

[@MARKE911]

Ol JD provides a ton of options to customize what u need and want.

[@mag07r]

I would think the tooth bar limits the curl capacity as well. It looks like you probably get a little larger load when using it but it may take more time to get that full load.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Very nice video. I think it’s important Information. I think A lot of people assume more capabilities for the three E Series series

[@Zurar]

Nice and thorough video on the lift capacities, Tim. I think a large part of what's causing your issues with that mud is the tooth bar. That mud looks like it sticks together really well, so you're actually getting a TON of weight (maybe literally) on just that tooth bar, and because it's so far out in front, you can't even curl your bucket. I bet both tractors would work great with the tooth bar not installed. A little side-note on cabs; I was just at my local (well, closest) dealer with my dad (he's looking for a diesel mower but not sure about a SCUT) and decided to ask about the 2-series as I may upgrade to it. He did say that the 2-series cabs should be coming "this year". I'm not sure his sources, but he did sound pretty confident in saying that, and being a fairly good sized and reputable dealer, I wouldn't think he'd want to say that if he wasn't sure. Anyway, just something to keep an eye out for.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Maybe. Wouldn’t even begin to go into the pile without the toothbar.

[@Formulabruce]

[@harrykeel8557]

That was a eye opening video, thought surely the 3032e wouldn't have much problem with the dirt you were moving. Oh well, never know until you try it. But the hydraulics were making a whole lotta noise.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Extra noise likely magnified by my lapel mic.

[@joshseigel]

Also the kubota L2501

[@semco72057]

I have a 3032E tractor without the cab on it and it seem to lift just fine for me, but I don't try lifting too much with it. The bucket on mine I guess is what was recommended and came with the tractor. The 790 tractor is nice and I wonder how it would work with a front loader on it, but seem to have as much horsepower or more as the 3032E. Where I live it is not practical to have a cab on a tractor due to where the tractor is being used and that is why I didn't get one on my tractors.

I put my own Mauser cab on. It wasn’t that hard. Instructions are fairly clear. Hardest part is lifting the cab onto tractor.

[@Malakie]

Tim, Check to see if that model has a pressure regulator for hydraulic power.. watching you try to lift that and the major whine coming from the hydraulics when you did, tells me something is wrong with the unit.. It should have a lot more lift power then that.. I used one doing heavy large gravel and then moving an entire section of mud and dirt that washing down hill off a drive way (the 1023e was at the new house so a neighbor came over with his 3 series and helped here during the flooding a couple weeks ago).. and it easily lifted all of that without a problem from piles just as you did here.. Even the 1023e we have now has had no problems lifting mud/clay large piles here as we clean up from the flooding... My bet is either the pressure regulator is not set right on the series three or something is wrong with the pump especially with how loud that thing is whining...

[@TractorTimewithTim]

This tractor matches (or exceeds) the published specs. Which ‘3 series’ did you use? The 3R is a totally different tractor..much more lift capacity.

[@Malakie]

@@TractorTimewithTim Don't remember which model he has.. It never whined like that and definitely had no issues picking up dirt like that from a packed pile. Dunno, but from here looking at the video, it just looks like something is not adjusted right or some kind of fault.. When you had the load on from the pile, that bucket never moved or twitched while you were using the controls.. I don't know.. You can better judge since you are running the thing... but to me something does not seem to be working quite right on that unit.

Hi Tim, I was wondering if you heard about the new release from John Deere regarding the 1025r. What I saw on their You Tube channel was saying that there is now a 1025R factory installed heated cab option. I know how you had disscussed this while you were in Germany because factory cabs tend to have better fitment when compared to a Curtis cab, or something of that nature. Also as seen in this video with the Curtis Cab on the 3032E, the amount of sound detaining that is provided from a non-factory option is far less supirior to the sound detaning probided from a factory cab option, at least that is what I tend to see. Please let me know your point of view is, I am interested to see this cab in action. Thank you

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yes, there is a 1025R factory cab. It is nicer than the Curtis Cab, but it does not compare to the HVAC cab on a 3R for example. It will still be loud.

I really wish you could compare the 3025E to the Yanmar 424. The breakout on the Yanmar with the YL 210 loader is over 300lbs more than the Deere according to the spec sheet but oddly enough at a lower GPM. We are trying to decide on which to buy and are leaning more toward the Deere but after seeing this, and knowing the majority of our work will be with the loader and wet clay for dirt I’m slightly concerned. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Well, I’m not much of a fan of the 3e series. I would recommend that you consider a 2032r rather than 3e...stronger machine.

Is it stronger because it’s a higher HP? Because I thought the 3 series was a step up overall compared to the 2 series, E or R regarding hydraulic GPM and pressure. Please elaborate.

Also, can you list specifically what you don’t like about the 3 series from the number 1 reason down?

specifically 3 E series. I love the 3R series. I have discussed in other videos. 1) loader not removable. 2) less capacity than 2R 3) no mid mount mower option 4) bare minimum features . (no arm rest, no e-throttle, etc). Mainly, I don't like that they label it a 3 series...but it is less capable than the 2R. Look at the specs, you'll see.

Can you get a rear PTO powered hydraulic power pack for the 3032E and then run front skidsteer attachments?

Even like power brooms, post hole diggers, flail mowers, etc?

[@rodneystewart8958]

I would forget the 3 series and go with a tracked skid steer

[@martineastburn3679]

Are you in Low speed gear with 4-wheel ? That forces it into a stack of stone with no issue. Clay also. Martin

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yep. Low gear, 4wd, WOT.

[@WormHoleFarming]

It just a mind-set. You think bigger tractor equals more power. Why it maybe true with HP, its the Hydro-pump that's doing all the work.

[@Backhoebb]

Wow, my 3033r suffers non of the curl or lift issues, I can dig into frozen solid piles and rip them up. And I don’t even have a tooth bar.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Your 3033r has much higher lift capacity specs than this tractor.

[@royamberg9177]

Most of these manufacturer now have things designed so it won't self destruct from hydraulic forces. It's good in the respect of inexperienced operator. I'm ajusted to payloader with no end to curl and lift. Back of machine coming off the ground. The old 610 bobcat skid loader would lift way more then it was designed for and lots of accident happened because of it.

[@mikefortune4796]

Hi Tim and Christy nice video

[@patrickwheatley6156]

Lift test on the 5 series?

[@darrengarlough5121]

I sure hope my 400e I just ordered on my 4052 will do its job, after watching this video I'm a little concerned.

[@merrymanrc]

Hey Tim what about hooking up to backhoe or other equipment it look like you can't turn your chair around because the cab

[@lonewolfpa]

At least on my 3120 with a 375 backhoe. ( the 3 series was their replacement) the backhoe has its own seat and you can’t turn the seat on the tractor.

[@strangerdanger1271]

The 3000e tractors have an aluminum rear diff and are not rated for a backhoe.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

The 3e does support a backhoe as of 2018 or 2019

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Correct. Backhoe has its own seat.

[@eastcoast.30cal28]

Hey Tim, I have a question for you. I just bought a JD 3032e brand new from my local dealer. It came with a drawbar and I noticed the drawbar mount/box that the actual drawbar pins to... that bolts to the underside of the rear axle has some play in it. The bolts seem tight but the whole apparatus seems sloppy. Is that normal?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yes. Normal.

[@eastcoast.30cal28]

@@TractorTimewithTim Thank you for the reply, Tim!

[@markmccoy1304]

The million dollar question is, Would you recommend or would you buy this 3032e?

[@bob2973]

Tim , I really don't understand these new Tractors , I have a 2007 2520 with 200cx loader and 53 inch bucket i bought new in 2007 , I can drive into a pile of large gravel , and with full bucket it will lift all the way up. Why are these new Tractors not as strong as the older ones.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Loose gravel is totally different than that packed mud. Much easier.

[@indianboy72]

Remember this isn’t a 310. Not a construction machine. If you used to that than get one of those. Even my 110 destroyed my yard. Gotta pick and choose.

[@davidshipulski4532]

Good video tim! It sounds like it os whining a lot! But it is a nice tractor!

[@paintballer7171986]

Is it because the tractor is underpowered or the fel?

[@Formulabruce]

Its because its dry weight is 2222 lbs.. I had tires loaded on mine and carry a ballast box and my new E series does fine. Moves snow MUCH better than my 2025R or my 1026R ever did.

[@paintballer7171986]

@@Formulabruce if that was the case it would lift it, but the back end would raise. It just dont have the same lift capacity.

[@michigantler5046]

good job

[@eosjoe565]

Dang... are you sure there isn't something wrong with that tractor? The hydraulics don't even seem to whine when you try to lift or curl that bucket load. It's like you have a dead stick. It also seems to run out of power way too soon when driving into the pile. It seems even weaker than my 2720 which I think isn't quite up to par.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I suspect your 2720 has higher specs than the 3e.

[@Formulabruce]

What you hear / or Don't hear is the mic in the cab. If the mic was Outside the cab, you would get more of the typical HST whine.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Good point. Yes, the mic in the cab changes the sound.

[@1whoFartsinthewind]

where did you get a cab for the 3032?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Keep watching...review near the end

[@tylervonesh7084]

I think a cozy cab is way nicer, way more glass and has a padded sides inside the cab

Probably 2017-2018
