New 3E compact tractor...

[gamble77]

No, think about Deere's new numbering/lettering system:

D = 2wd basic tractor
E = 4wd basic tractor
M = premium tractors

So these new tractor won't replace the 20 series, they are entry level tractors

Oh, Ok, Yeah, I asked Deere when they will convert the 3x20 series over to the new numbering system and they indicated that, it would not happen for a long time - or sort of if at all?

Sooo....if Deere is coming out with a small say "subcompact entry level tractor"...do you think it will start to cut into their garden tractor line. Why spend $10000 on an x series garden tractor when you can get a small cat. 1 compact for around the same price that will actually do more work. Just my thoughts...

I wouldn't think it will hurt them...the people buying the Z-Series are looking for a premium mowing machine for nice, well kept lawns. They are not going to buy a stripped down utility tractor instead. I would bet the new 3 series won't even be available with a MMM.

Spoke with my dealer yesterday and he told me he was going out of town this weekend for John Deere. I asked if it was because of new product launch, he said in a round about way, yes. Would not say what products or where he was headed. He did say Deere doesn't like loose lips from their dealers before new product unveiling. Possible "3E" getting ready to come out???? Anyone else have any news....

The 3E's are on order, will see them late next month on dealers lots...this isn't a secret...

so I wonder would a 2305M be the tractor I wish my 2305 is? maybe add position control and a rear scv...

 

[jd670]

I see they are no longer a secret. Just saw them on the Deere website.
