John Deere is proud to introduce the all-new 3203 Compact Utility Tractor. This machine will provide budget-conscious customers with the convenience and usability of a hydrostatic transmission (HST) in an economically priced tractor. The 3203 Tractor augments John Deere's popular Advantage Series economy compact tractor line (2305, 790, 990) by continuing the tradition of combining reliability and durability in an affordable package without sacrificing essential features and world-class dealer support.
The 3203 Tractor is powered by a 32 horsepower Yanmar 3-cylinder TNV Series diesel engine. This robust and reliable power plant is EPA Tier II-compliant and will provide 3203 owners with many years of dependable service.
