3038e capable?

[Rob-D]

Roy,


The thing that REALLY ticks me off about the 3038e is the #$&%* PTO shaft brake. See this post:

When are we as a Nation going to tell the Government/Lawyers ENOUGH?!?!? We're letting them force manufacturers to make equipment we buy with our hard-earned money darn-near unusable in some respects.


I'll step down from my soapbox now.

And while you're at it will someone please tell me why we need an owner's manual holder on everything we buy now? I'd like to know the story behind that one. The first thing I did on my 485 hoe was remove the rediculous thing. What? Someone did something stupid and sued the manufactuer because they were to lazy and obtuse to go into the house and get the manual before they did whatever they did!

I always see these safety things like "don't touch the exhaust, you might get burned it could be hot."

What? Shake this guy. Is he breathing or not! These people shouldn't be allowed near anything that moves, they need a safety manual to eat!

So Deere offers the Off-Seat PTO Option (add some cost) and then makes the Drawbar standard (add some cost) then lets put a fuel gauge in the instrument panel (add some cost) don't forget about the Mid PTO (add some cost) and why not add Cruise Control (add some cost) just for the heck of it!

So now what do we have? Something 1/2 way between a 3E Series and a 3x20 Series - and not priced well to boot!

I hate to interrupt someone on a roll but it would have been even CHEAPER had they NOT put the darned "safety" switch under the dadgum seat and cheaper STILL had they not put that cursed PTO brake on the friggin thing.

Darwin had the right idea and a good concept...survival of the fittest...

BTW, seen a hand gun manual recently? The first 15 pages of a 30 page manual deal with this stupid crap.
