The John Deere 3038E is a compact utility tractor designed for small farms and property maintenance. It features a 2WD chassis with power steering, making it easy to maneuver in tight spaces. The tractor is powered by a Yanmar 3-cylinder diesel engine that produces 36.7 hp, which is average for its class. This engine is turbocharged and liquid-cooled, providing reliable performance in various conditions.
One of the standout features of the 3038E is its hydrostatic transmission, offering infinite forward and reverse speeds in two ranges. This allows for smooth operation and precise speed control. The tractor comes with a Category I hitch and an independent PTO that runs at 540 rpm, making it compatible with a wide range of implements. It has an open operator station with a two-post ROPS for safety. The 3038E is relatively lightweight at 2,264 lb, which helps reduce soil compaction. Additional features include wet disc brakes, a 7.5 US gallon fuel tank, and compatibility with the John Deere D160 loader. This tractor was manufactured in Augusta, Georgia, USA from 2013 to 2019, showcasing John Deere's commitment to American manufacturing.
