Here are the differences that I am aware off.
- 3E is a little smaller and lighter than the 3X20 series. It is very close in size to the 3005 (previously the 790).
- 3E has a mechanical hydrostatic transmission compared to the e-Hydro on the 3X20.
- 3E has a single brake pedal. The 3X20 has individual turning brakes.
- 3E is two range. 3X20 is 3 range transmission.
- 3E loader is not quick attach (although the bucket is). 3X20 loader is quick attach.
- 3E does not have folding ROPS. 3X20 does.
- 3E loader valve is mounted on the loader mast. 3X20 is on the tractor.
- 3E is way less $$$$$ than 3X20.
There have been several buyers of 3E on this site. There posts on there experience might be helpful to you.
Other than the obvious differences like, gauges, two ranges not three, no BH, non removable loader, and non flolding ROPS. Is there any other? Motor, rear or front end differences?
Thanks

So did you take the plunge. I'm considering a 3032e also and have not quite committed. I will probably go drive it around the dealers lot again tomorrow or bring it home for a tryout (the dealer offered).
