New 3046R on The Way

[JKR]

Maybe they are right ,but my dealer installed my wheel spacers. So far no problems. If I do have a problem I will complain that I should of been told.
I would of went to a 4R and I would be willing still to pay the difference.
Not my fault it would be the dealer.

If I really need spacers I'd go with 2" on each side.

Could it be due to the aluminum rear end housing? Is that on the 3r tractors or just the 3e?

Aluminum rear housings have been used on all 3000 series tractors and the prior 4000 that they replaced.

If the dealer installed them I'm sure they'll take care of any warranty issues.

True, my dealer have put a lot of wheel spacer on 3 series tractors. Mostly on cab tractors. They are kind of top heavy when riding on steep hills.
Like I said so far no problems.
Look around you will many 3 series tractors with wheel spacers.

I think maybe I would revisit the dealer that installed the spacers and tell him That I heard John Deere had issued a bulletin saying spacers are a NO-N0 on your tractor. Waiting for the day a axle breaks may not be the best defense.

I wonder if John Deere doesn't figure they'll hold up for 6 years with wheel spacers after they extended their warranty to 6 years.

My 3033R is a 2015. I was told it had a two year warranty. When did the warranty change 2016?

All 1 through 4 compact tractors are included.

Anything sold starting Jan 1, 2016 gets a 6 year power train warranty from JD.

Do we know that an axle break using spacers is covered under powertrain warranty. These warranties are very specific. For example, might cover a rod bearing in the engine but not cover a failed injector. Gotta read the fine print very carefully.
