The engine uses latest technologies to optimize fuel economy, improve control and accuracy, and reduces environmental impact.

 

The common rail system (CRS) optimizes fuel economy and reduces operating costs compared to engines not using CRS technology. High pressure injection atomizes fuel into finer particles which burn more completely. It results in improved fuel economy and lower cost of operation.

 

The electronic control unit (ECU) provides optimum fuel control and accuracy. ECU monitors and controls the engine. It continuously monitors engine conditions and adjusts the fuel delivery accordingly to ensure optimum performance and emissions.

 

The new engine comes with an after treatment system. The system operates automatically. The exhaust filter consists of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) which captures particulate matter (PM) contained in the exhaust gas. Using a natural cleaning process, most of the PM trapped in the exhaust filter is eliminated by the heat of the exhaust stream generated by normal use. In situations of low temperature, engine speed or load factor, an active cleaning cycle is initiated. In this cleaning cycle, the exhaust gas temperature is raised by injecting additional fuel during the exhaust stroke of normal vehicle operation to the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC).

 

After many hours of use, the exhaust filter may require an ash removal service.

DPF cleaning

Depending on the load that the tractor is under, as well as ambient temperature, humidity, and engine speed, the DPF may build up with particulate matter, thus requiring cleaning. Filter cleaning is determined by one of three conditions:

  • A prescribed time-based estimation of needed filter cleaning
  • DOC/DPF pressure sensors
  • A particulate matter buildup estimation based on load conditions

 

Once one of the three conditions has been met, filter cleaning will occur.

 

There are three different types of filter cleaning processes:

  • Passive filter cleaning
  • Active filter cleaning
  • Parked filter cleaning

 

Passive filter cleaning

Passive filter cleaning occurs naturally when the engine is generating enough heat to oxidize particulate matter. This automatic process occurs continuously during normal operating conditions. No tractor icons or symbols appear on the display during passive filter cleaning.

 

NOTE: Passive filter cleaning requires no operator involvement, and there is no interruption to tractor operation.

Active filter cleaning

 

If conditions (temperature, load, or speed) for passive filter cleaning cannot be achieved, then PM is removed using active filter cleaner.

 

To achieve the required conditions, exhaust temperature management (ETM) manages the initiation and duration of active filter cleaning. ETM can adjust numerous engine parameters and/or inject a small quantity of fuel into the exhaust stream for a short duration. The fuel turns to vapor and chemically reacts with the catalysts in the DOC to create heat to oxidize PM.

 

It is important to note that at no time is the fuel in the DOC/DPF ignited, and there is no flame within the DOC/DPF.

 

Like passive filter cleaning, active filter cleaning requires no operator involvement, and there is no interruption to tractor operation.

 

Parked filter cleaning

 

In some instances where passive and active filter cleaning have not fully cleaned the PM from the system, a parked filter cleaning may need to take place. Most likely, the only time a parked filter cleaning will need to occur is when automatic filter cleaning has been disabled for an extended period of time and multiple warnings to engage filter cleaning were ignored or if the tractor has been used during light load conditions. Additionally, when the automatic filter cleaning process has been deliberately interrupted multiple times, or if active filter cleaning has failed numerous times due to a failed component, a parked filter cleaning may be requested. In these rare instances the operator will have to park the tractor and start the filter cleaning process.

 

The parked filter cleaning process needs to be activated based on usage and operation of the tractor. The process will take approximately 30 minutes. See operator’s manual for more details.

 

This system constantly monitors the soot level of the tractor, making sure the tractor is always in peak performance condition. This ensures high performance at all times.

 

NOTE:  Number of hours since last regeneration and soot level percentage viewable on LCD display.

NOTE: When the tractor is in a filter cleaning process at low speed or while parked and running, the exhaust will be routed through the vertical exhaust outlet. In all other cases, the exhaust will be routed through the downward exhaust outlet. This ensures minimal heat impact to operator.

Key features of the engine are:
  • Economical cast-in-block cylinder design for good cooling and long life
  • Direct fuel injection
    • Improves starting
    • Injects fuel directly on top of pistons for more efficient combustion
    • Develops more horsepower per gallon of fuel than indirect injection engines

Maximize productivity with an eHydro™ transmission

The 3R Series Tractor is available with an exclusive three-range electronic hydrostatic (eHydro) transmission.

  • Fluid under pressure transmits engine power to the drive wheels through a pump and motor
  • Provides high torque for start-up
  • Reduces powertrain shock loads

Sauer-Danfoss® supplies both the pump and motor. This ensures that the components are matched to each other, providing maximum efficiency.

The electronic hydrostatic transmission is ideally suited for jobs where productivity is a must, such as loader or mower applications.

Twin Touch™ foot controls allow selecting both direction of travel and speed with a touch of the toe.

Key features of the eHydro transmission are:

  • Infinite ground speeds, even at full throttle, allow the operator to match the speed of the tractor to the job
  • No clutching for fast and easy direction changes
  • Twin Touch foot pedals for quick and easy forward/reverse operation
  • Cruise control is base equipment
    • Cruise-control switch is located on the right-hand console for easy access
    • Cruise control is electronically engaged and disengaged and allows for more precise setting of speed

Sauer-Danfoss eHydro transmission is used for reliable operation. Durability features include:

1) Large forged trunnion shaft with larger support bearings to reduce vibration and noise.

2) Center section made from durable cast aluminum, which is 10 percent stronger.

3) Transmission oil cooler cools transmission oil for longer transmission life.


Safety features of the eHydro transmission include:

  • The tractor starts with one or both foot pedals depressed, but it does not move until both pedals first come to neutral.
  • The tractor comes to a stop if the operator leaves the seat, but the engine does not shut off unless the power take-off (PTO) is also running.
Key John Deere advantage
Twin Touch foot controls Twin Touch foot controls

John Deere's Twin Touch foot controls offer several key advantages over competitive hydrostatic transmission (HST) tractor models.

Key advantages over competitive HST tractor models:

  • Some competitive hydrostatic tractors use a treadle pedal (toe-heel) design foot control for operation
  • Requires the operator to use both toe and heel to change direction, resulting in increased operator fatigue.

 

Integrated eHydro features

The eHydro convenience controls have been integrated into a single module. Combining features such as SpeedMatch™ cruise control, LoadMatch™ switch, MotionMatch, eThrottle, and automotive style cruise control pulls the maximum efficiency out of the eHydro transmission tractors. All these features are standard on the 3R models and deliver an easier and more comfortable user experience.

eHydro convenience control module eHydro convenience control module
eThrottle
eThrottle indicator eThrottle indicator

The 3R Series Tractors come equipped with the eThrottle function. This feature is designed make the tractor quieter and use less fuel. With the simple push of a button, the engine speed is linked to the pedal position. The operator can keep the throttle essentially all the way in the low position. The engine rpms, as well as the tractor speed, increase together with the pedal position. This provides the operator with comfort and convenience as well as fuel economy.

Automotive-style cruise control
Cruise control indicator Cruise control indicator

An automotive-style cruise control is standard equipment on the 3R Series Tractors. Cruise control is electronically engaged and disengaged and is located on the right-hand operator console.

  • Maintains desired forward speed without pressure on the foot pedal
  • When activated, operator can set cruise speed
    • Use the SET/- button to set cruise speed, or to decrease cruise/max speed
    • Use the RES/+ button to set cruise speed, or to increase cruise/max speed
  • A speed sensor also allows the tractor to maintain preset speed driving up and down hills
  • To disengage the cruise control, either:
    • Apply pressure to the brakes
    • Disengage cruise control button
    • Briefly depress the reverse travel pedal
LoadMatch power management system
LoadMatch indicator LoadMatch indicator

LoadMatch is an industry exclusive and a standard feature on the 3R Series Tractors.

 

If torque requirements increase significantly, the transmission will reduce the tractor's drive speed to compensate for the increased load on the transmission, maximizing torque to drive wheels and minimize stalls. 

 

Controls automatically adjust LoadMatch compensation depending on the tractor’s application. PTO applications require less engine speed fluctuation, therefore adjusts the amount of droop depending on PTO speed. This adjustment increases efficiency and optimizes engine speed and torque output based on tractor application.

While typically left on, LoadMatch can be turned off with the right-hand console controls.


MotionMatch
 
MotionMatch, standard on the 3R Series Tractors, is located on the right-hand console. It offers seven settings for adjusting the rollout or decelerate when the pedal is released.

MotionMatch indicator MotionMatch indicator

Longer accelerate and decelerate distances.

MotionMatch indicator MotionMatch indicator

Shorter accelerate and decelerate distances.

SpeedMatch
SpeedMatch indicator SpeedMatch indicator

SpeedMatch, standard on the 3R Series Tractors, further enhances the eHydro cruise control functions by allowing the operator to preset maximum speed. Once this feature is engaged, the operator must stroke the travel pedal fully to meet the operator preset speed. This function improves accuracy and safety, particularly at lower travel speed applications.

Rotary tilling or spraying applications are examples of where SpeedMatch can be applied. SpeedMatch will work in both the forward and reverse set speeds.

NOTE: Automotive-style cruise control and SpeedMatch can be used in conjunction with LoadMatch to maximize productivity.

PowrReverser™ transmission allows for clutchless direction changes

The PowrReverser transmission, available on 3033R and 3039R Tractors, offers a hydraulically shifted forward-to-reverse transmission. This allows for clutchless shuttle shifting between forward and reverse with one lever for quick and easy direction change.

  • The PowrReverser transmission does not require the operator to use the clutch to shift between forward and reverse.

 

The 12x12 PowrReverser transmission's hydraulically actuated wet clutch takes the place of the dry-type traction clutch. Two multi-disk clutch packs (one forward and one reverse) are hydraulically actuated when the directional (reverser) lever is placed in either the forward or reverse position.

Each clutch pack consists of three large, 13-cm (5-in.) diameter clutch disks that are oil-cooled, allowing excellent heat dissipation and extended clutch life.

Forward/reverse clutches Forward/reverse clutches
  • Clutch A is used for the forward operation of the tractor
  • Clutch B is used for the reverse operation of the tractor

 

Key features of the PowrReverser transmission are:

  • 12 forward and 12 reverse speeds
  • Reverser lever, located on the left side on the instrument console, allows operator to make direction changes without clutching
    • Fast shuttle shift for improved loader operation
Helical-cut gears Helical-cut gears
  • Dual-cone synchronizers allow for synchronized shifts between gears for on-the-go shifting with use of the clutch
  • Helical-cut gears for quiet operation
  • Well-spaced speeds for turf, loader, and transport work
  • Neutral-start switch prevents tractor from starting when transmission (main range) is not in neutral
  • Dual wet-disk clutches provide long clutch life
  • Shifts between ranges are not synchronized

 

NOTE: 3R Tractors with PowrReverser are not compatible with mid PTO. They are not compatible from the factory or field installed.

The tractor is base equipped with a dual mid-selective control valve (SCV).

  • Two sets of right-hand-side-mounted couplers allow raising/lowering boom and curling/dumping bucket
  • Large, 0.9-cm (3/8-in.) diameter quick-couplers are used for maximum oil flow to implements
  • Hydraulic valves have excellent featherability for smooth operation of equipment
  • Couplers are color-coded for correct hookup

Up to five additional SCVs can be added:

  • Single rear electrohydraulic (EH) SCV (EH third SCV)
  • Dual rear SCV (fourth and fifth SCV)*
  • Electric diverter kit (includes two additional SCVs)
  • Power beyond

*NOTE: Only available on 3R Open-Station Tractors.

  • Allows the hydraulic oil to be diverted to either the front or rear couplers, as desired

Power beyond kit

  • The power beyond kit contains rear-mounted couplers and hoses to access pressurized oil at the rear of the tractor; the kit is used for equipment such as a backhoe or log splitter
  • Couplers are 1.3-cm (1/2-in.) diameter for maximum oil flow to implements

  • Single control lever (A) makes operation of a loader or other implement fast and simple
  • SCV safety lock lever (B) allows the operator to control the type of SCV lever movement needed for a particular operation or situation
  • The SCV safety lock lever in the top position, indicated by the unlocked lock, allows operation of the SCV lever in all directions; operation of the SCV is totally unlocked
  • The regeneration (REGEN) position on the bucket spool is available only with the SCV safety lock lever in the top position. As the lever is moved to the right (bucket dump) a slight bump can be felt mid-travel. Continued movement of lever past this bump activates REGEN position on spool.
  • Loader operation may benefit from the use of the REGEN function. Regenerative hydraulics allow for faster bucket cycle times
    • The REGEN function allows heavily loaded loader buckets to dump at a faster rate; however, lightly-loaded buckets do not benefit from this function and should be operated in the middle position
  • Moving the SCV safety lock lever to the middle position prohibits the engagement of the REGEN function of the SCV; this position is recommended for all attachments except for the front loader with light loads
  • Moving the SCV safety lock lever to the bottom position will prohibit SCV lever movement in all directions, thus totally locking operation of the SCV

  • The regeneration (REGEN) position on the bucket spool is available only with the SCV safety lock lever in the top position. As the lever is moved to the right (bucket dump) a slight bump can be felt mid-travel. Continued movement of lever past this bump activates REGEN position on spool.
  • Loader operation may benefit from the use of the REGEN function. Regenerative hydraulics allow for faster bucket cycle times
    • The REGEN function allows heavily loaded loader buckets to dump at a faster rate; however, lightly-loaded buckets do not benefit from this function and should be operated in the middle position
  • Moving the SCV safety lock lever to the middle position prohibits the engagement of the REGEN function of the SCV; this position is recommended for all attachments except for the front loader with light loads
  • Moving the SCV safety lock lever to the bottom position will prohibit SCV lever movement in all directions, thus totally locking operation of the SCV

Three-Point Hitch

iMatch™ Quick Hitch Bushings - 0299LVLVU12858

One of the greatest operator concerns involves difficulty in attaching tractor implements. John Deere has addressed this issue with the iMatch Quick-Hitch: 

  • All implements require a set of bushings in order for the attachment to fit and work properly with the iMatch Quick-Hitch. One set of bushings comes with the iMatch Quick-Hitch.

 

NOTE: All implements (box blades, tillers, rear blades, landscape rakes, etc.) require a set of bushings to enlarge the pin to fit with the iMatch hooks. Bushings of different lengths can be found in the parts system or through a bushing supplier.

We have two 3046R's

We have two 3046R's we got to replace two 3720's, I'm sad to say if we had to do it over again we would have found some low hour 3720's, one 3720 we replaced had 6000+ hours and was almost 14 years old it would out pull both new tractors with them hooked together and they claim these new tractors have a few more HP and trying to get a hired hand not to freak out over the regen is a whole nother subject

Geeat tractor

I bought my tractor alm ou st two years ago. I have 135 engine hours on it. It has many more features than my 1529 Massey had. This is for me the perfect size for what I need. Not only is the tractor good but the service is unmatched. Nothing against Massey( loved that tractor also)but Deere really put a lot of features in this unit. Some I will never use. Some I use in the back ground. But none the less a terriffic model and product. Thomas Walker Greenfield Ma.

Very pleased.

I just bought a 2021 JD 3046R and could not be happier. So far I’ve used it to snake trees, bushhog and will be planting food plots when the disk arrives. The cab is comfortable and the controls are well designed. There’s also plenty of power for everything I need. Would do it all again.

Can do it all and more

Bought a 2018 3046R with a number of attachments - flail cutter, rotary cutter, tiller, box blade, and loader. This tractor can do it all on my 40 acres. From food plots to gardens to keeping my property looking good. This machine has enough power to handle everything I need it for. The emission re-generator took a little getting used to, but hasn't been a problem.

Pros:

  • yanmar diesel is excellent
  • quick hitch system saves a lot of time

Non-Trivial Quality Issues

I purchased a 2018, 3046R cabbed tractor because of John Deere's reputation for quality. I am extremely saddened to say that I have been disappointed in this regard. Upon initial delivery of the tractor, the cruise control didn't work, switches kept falling out of the control panel, and one of the fasteners holding the console in place didn't have a tapped hole. The fastener, which was not self-tapping, was forced into an untapped hole. This stripped the threads off the fastener and left it loose in the panel. In addition, the exhaust filter cleaning function failed after the first cleaning. The tractor would not enter into auto cleaning nor would it allow for a parked cleaning. Finally, to make matters worse, when I went to lubricate the front axle trunnion I found it impossible to access the rear grease fitting, which was covered up by the front of the oil pan. John Deere is aware of this design flaw but has not corrected it. In order to access the grease fitting, John Deere's recommended solution is to machine or grind an access channel into the trunnion casting. This is not a trivial fix and it is absolutely unacceptable on a new tractor. The only other way to lubricate the rear grease fitting is to drop the front axle. Based upon this design flaw and the other quality issues I have experienced over the past several months, I would not recommend the purchase of this tractor.

Pros:

  • good power for its size

Cons:
  • poor quality

Nothing runs like a Deere

I traded my 3320 for a slightly used [214 hours]3046r cab and although my 3320 power reverser was a great tractor, I absolutely love the 3046 with hydro transmission and all the bell and whistles plus the a/c. This is my 3rd Deere, 790 had for 12 years and sold for more than I gave for it, the 3320 was bought at farm auction and I kept it for about a year before swapping for the 3046. Ps I got $1000 more for the 3320 than I purchased it for on the trade.

3046R

I purchased the 3046R with the H165 loader and 385A backhoe for use on my 12 acre farm in 2015. I was debating between the 4044R and the 3046R and decided on the smaller frame tractor. I could't be happier with the purchase. It is extremely maneuverable and able to get in tight spaces in the woods with plenty enough implement power. The backhoe works great as I have dug up several large rocks and planted several trees. The H165 loader is matched very well with the tractor size and doesn't struggle to lift a full bucket load.. I have also used a 2 gain plow and tiller on it. The tractor power is very good but the 2 gain plow can stop the tractor in 4wd if you have the plow bottomed. That has been the only time I have been able to bring it to a stop. Tilling is effortless with the cruise feature. All of the features make it very enjoyable. The only complaint I have is it doesn't seem heavy enough to use the mid duty MX6 cutter. The MX5 cutter is only 60" and that is what the tractor is rated for in John Deere's brochures.

Pros:

  • smooth ride and maneuverability

Cons:
  • using larger rotary cutter

Solid work horse

I bought this tractor a year ago for my lawn service as a snow removal rig. I so far have been happy with it, however John Deere could improve on a few quality points in my opinion. After 25 hours of use, a saftey feature failed causing the machine to loose forward and reverse drive. Deere and my dealer took care of me getting the issue resolved which is good, but I still think it's unacceptable to have a failure like this. That has been the only reliability issue and I'm happy to say after removing all the saftey features, the machine is easy to use and reliable. I wish some of the controls felt more high quality. The shift lever is a little indecisive with the hydrostatic transmission. Same with the PTO selection lever. The hood on this model also is a little cheap. Other than those things I am very happy with my machine. The cab keeps me very comfortable and the tractor does a high quality job. I was critical on this machine, but only in hopes that John Deere will make a good product better. I now have a little over 100hrs on this machine as nd plan on having it for several thousand more.

Pros:

  • reliable powerful comfortable

Cons:
  • bad saftey equipment

A Tractor that Performs!!!

I purchased the tractor in March 2015. Along with a JD Tiller, Bucket,and Bush Hog, Everything has worked well and the tractor will do what you want it to do. I had ballast put in the rear wheels by the dealer. Works well on the lawn and in the field.

Pros:

  • power
  • mobility
