I just bought a Montana 2844RHST and it has been awsome so far. Had one little issue with the throttle, but that was a minor issue. it has no problem doing everything i need. Runs a 5' finsihing mower, tiller, blade, harrows etc. And i looked at the 3038e also, but im sure the "E" is for economy, cause theyre alot lighter than the 3320 and such. Plus the loader on the E modles dont come off. I wanted/needed a quick detach cause of the way our property is layed out. Like others have said, go look at them all and decide from there. I was sold cause the Montana came with alot of standard fetures that are extra on others, and it was almost half the price of a kubota in my area.
