Hi Y.V.
3038 is considered more of a entry level machine, maybe look more at the real specs in hyds loader lift capacity,three point hitch lift capacity is more, check PTO output, it easier to add non quick hitch attachments. engine torque and other things such as adding attachments in the future. 3038 did not support adding backhoe in 2010....Operator station is much different, simple seat on 38 highback on 3520, floor platform on 38 will allow more heat upward and is smaller, you go sit in both and maybe see what test drives the dealer may provide or other input from local customer base and if you plan on keeping machine for the long haul I like the the guy that said its only $400. more per year. Their is a difference......J.D. sales ten years and any brand name is good you just gotta use em'!!!!Get a quote from more than one dealer then you will see who wants the business Good luck and make sure they use a sharp pencil. an orange is not an apple, just so you know
