FarmallFan, I'm surprised you feel you need the spacers on the 3038e. I've driven across some fairly steep slopes with mine and have never had the panic feeling I've had operating my mom's cabbed 3320. I only use mine for bushhogging, however; maybe the 600# I have on the front end with suitcase weights and 600# down low on the back end with the hog helps me more than I knew with slopes. Most of this extra 1200# is within 20" of the ground.
