JD 3 series E vs R

[richardhorne]

I looked at the 3038e but settled on the 3033r. Quite a few reasons

The dealer had a 33r at the old price as had been in stock a while ($3500 cheaper than one out of the factory now)

It can lift far more on the fel and as a bonus can lift more on the 3pt

It weighs more (about 350kg)

It has the 3 speed transmission

The loader removes

It has adjustable rollout

Better seat

Split brakes

Rear hydraulic

Centre pto for if i ever want it

Cruise control was a bonus but not a game changer for me.

You'll be happy with your choice.

Congratulations. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
