Picked up a 3032e yesterday.

I traded a 2305 for a 3032a and wow what a difference. Its more stable, sounds like a tractor, and tractor handles the bush hog not the other way around. This tractor is well built and very strong. The next implement will be a set of forks soon. The only negative thing is the diff. pops in 4wd. It must be out of adjustment because I remember someone else had the same problem. Other then that this tractor will be around for a long time. Thumbs up for this one...

I well remember when we moved up from a IH 460 to a 4020 diesel in the early '70s.
Man what a difference that made.

It is the diff-lock actuator pin, the linkage is not adjusted correct, After mine was toook back to dealer & adjusted it has been fine ever since, but do not drive it anymore & have your dealer adjust it. The pin is not coming out far enough, mine comes out about 3/8 to 1/2" farther than when I 1st got it. Also get a copy of the fix & the sypmtoms for the warraty work order, that way if you are covered in the future after warraty expires, simply because this is a factory mistake & not the dealers fault,It would be easy to do yourself, but definatley let the dealer do it. It will not do it anymore once adjustment is made.. JD should be made awhere of this problem so every one is covered on this simple but potentially bad resulting problem. please keep us updated on this. I like the design of this tractor, very comfortable for long hrs in the seat, I have done 8hrs shots @ a beat up 42& felt no pain. Loader is smooth, everything is smooth. I have had it is deep clay & it made iteven with r4's. The loader is strong enough toflip that tractor even w/ loaded tires, so be carefull.Lotsa USA built parts on it if you look. Do not drive it anymore till it is fixed..bummer, but it is a new series, so somebugs will have to be worked out. I have about 100hrs on mine & it has earned it's keep & not lookingto trade up.

What an awesome tractor. You have to be living in bushog heaven now! Congrats.

It is amazing what a little more size does for making a tractor much more usable. I went from a 2210 to a 4720 - HUGE difference.

Enjoy,

When are you gonna send up pics

I think about posting pictures every time my butt hit's the seat. They will come, but the tractor is not so clean now.

I will call my dealer tomorrow and check to see if they can come out and adjust the linkage. I used RV plumbing antifreeze in the rear tires just in case a leak popped up around my well water. Good or bad idea? After I get the forks, Im going to look into a hydraulic cylinder for the 3pt hitch to adjust the angle.
