3025E

I have owned a 3025e for a year now. This little tractor has been great. For a small tractor it will do some big jobs. Pallet forks are a must have for this tractor. When they say it will pickup 1,200 pounds it will and then some. Hands down one of the best purchases of my life.

I recently purchased my Deere 3025E from TriGreen in Winchester, TN outfitted with the Brush Crusher 4200, & Frontier box blade, & liquid ballast in the rear tires. This thing is a beast! I've moved several 8ft-12ft oak & pine logs with an average diameter of approx. 22 inches with ease...I mean, the thing doesn't grunt or show signs of stress at all with those logs. Pulled up a stump that I've been trying to dig out with a shovel, & this thing popped it out of the ground like a rag doll. This thing has a slimmer profile, & the turning radius is amazing so I can really work my way through the woods with ease. I can maneuver this thing into tighter places than my Honda Rancher ATV if you can understand what I mean. Yes, the ATV is smaller, but the tractor can be gently maneuvered in and out of spots that look impossible. If you are dealing with logs, wood, brush etc. you will DEFINITELY appreciate the plastic fenders and hood. It's the same type of quality plastic you'll find on any ATV body. There is a reason they use plastic on these machines that are running and working in the woods. I received the tractor, lift bucket, grapple, & box blade for a better price than any other brand of tractor out there, & I test drove them all. It's a John Deere-holds it value better than any other brand in the market, & the parts/dealer network is the best in the US obviously. The decision was easy for me, & I'm glad I added this tractor to our family.

Got 8 acres. Does everything i need well. Brush Hog, bucket, and loader work well. Handles full bucket of gravel or dirt well. Mower cuts nice too. Runs like a top

It is a little light for brush hogging high grass. But you have to understand, get the right tractor for what it's designed for. You don't brush hog 18" of grass with a 24hp tractor. It was not designed for that. You will bog down the engine just like anything else that gets overloaded. If you are doing a lot of brush hogging in high grass, get a 65hp 4 series with a flexwing mower. But overall, it does just about everything that I need. The lift capacity of the front end loader is pretty good but you have to be careful. You can easily overload it. If you need to do heavy lifting, get the right tractor for your needs. But for what I use it for, it's a great little tractor. I have a 60" finish mower that I use on 3.5 acres. The finish mower does an excellent job. As with any mower, make sure the blades are sharp. Don't sell this tractor short. It has a lot of potential and capabilities. But do your homework first and make sure it's right for what you are going to use it for. I see so many posted CON's where an item is being used beyond it's capabilities. If your using this tractor or any tractor for what it was not designed for, don't post CON's. Only post CON's if it does not perform to it's capabilities.

We have been needing a tractor with a brush mower, kept looking around for several years now. Did some research and as far as value and warranty for the money, this was the tractor to get. Came with the front loader, added a 5ft rotary (brush) mower and the wife and I are extremely happy with this purchase. We've only had the tractor for a few weeks now, but have gotten so much more done on our property in those few weeks that would have taken much much longer without it. Have projects lined up to do ourselves now that we have it. Even got my youngest daughter using it as well.

Pros:

• size
• hydrostatic transmission
• front loader
• 4wd
• warranty support
• dealer support
• ability

• none

We have larger tractors for the farm but I needed something smaller to haul around and use in residential yards. The 3025 is perfect size. It’s big enough to do stuff but small enough to tow with a half ton p/up. Take care of it and it will hold its value better than any other brand. Get 32 inch pallet forks and add two more forks for brush and save your money on a grapple. It’s amazing what All you can do with this setup and this tractor.

Pros:

• no emission junk
• foldable rops
• resale value
• perfect size

• hydrostat not as good as gear for field work

I have had this tractor for 2.5 years (2017 model) I have put on nearly 200 hours. It has been 100% reliable and is perfect for what I need it for. I have a 5 ft rotary cutter and a box blade. Between these and the bucket you can get a lot of work done. Simple to operate and gets the job done.

I purchased my 3025E in May, 2017. I have owned it for 2.5 years now and it has been absolutely reliable. Not a single trip back to the dealership, and no on site service calls. I use my tractor almost on a daily basis. As of today it has 536.1 hours on it. I got the loader, 60 rotory cutter, 60" box scrap, and a used 48 King Kutter BX roto tiller. I have seen complaints about lack of PTO HP, but that hasn't been my experience with my tractor. I also picked up a used Woods RM59 finish mower, no issues running that either. This is my first tractor, and after doing much research and visiting other dealerships before my purchase, I'm very happy that I went with JD.

Pros:

• extremely capable machine.
• very fuel efficient.

Ive had my 3025 for about 6 months now. My field is about 6 acres. If you are going to use this to shred (I have the 60" frontier cutter that came with the pkg) I would definitely recommend gettting the 3032 or 3037. The 25 hp from the 3025 with about 17 hp to the pto just dont cut it. No pun intended. Seriously, the tractor bogs down bad. You have to go very slow, foot barely on the pedal, or the pto rpm drops way down. Or even stop moving forward for a few seconds to let it speed back up. Grass height was about 18" first cutting but only about 10" second cutting. I was going to get a 3032 or 3037 but a guy at work told me all new tractors over 25 up now had the exhaust requirement of recycling or soot burning (or whatever) cycle and the exhaust systems were always getting plugged. I talked to john deere and they said the cycle goes well with no exhaust system problems as long as you used low sulfur diesel, which is what you get at the gas station. But they also told me the 3025 would handle that field with no problems. Untrue. It takes me 10-12 hours to mow 6 acres when other tractors have mowed it in 2 or 3. Spend the extra 2000-3000 dollars and get the 3032 or 3037 . you'll be glad u did.

Pros:

• compact ease of use

• low pto power cutter bogs down

The tractor performs very well (the 3025e). The layout of the instrument panel is easy to use. The seat is comfortable. The tractor is quiet running and starts with no problem. The disappointing part is the amount of plastic that is used on this tractor. It is a constant concern. Fearing that it will not hold up as well as metal. Extremely disappointed that be lights are mounted on the outside of the roll bar and are easily broken off. Again made of plastic and extremely expensive to replace. It would have been nice had a cage been made for the lights or for them to be built into the frame. With the amount that the Tractor cost, I expected to see less plastic on it. This is my first John Deere tractor purchase. Sad to say, even though the tractor performs well .I will not again spend so much money for so much plastic.

Pros:

• nice little tractor for a small parcel of land

• too plastic and poor caution light mount and locat
