Read articles →This is a dealer walkaround of the 3035D with a 300A loader, filmed after a few days of use around the property (grading with a rear blade, not deep loader or PTO work). It covers the gear-drive transmission versus hydrostatic tradeoffs, dash and control layout, PTO clutch engagement, fuel tank relocation, and maintenance access points. Useful for buyers weighing standard transmission versus hydrostatic before test-driving one.
Posted by a Green Diamond Equipment dealership representative, so expect a sales-oriented walkaround rather than independent long-term ownership feedback.
The gear transmission has less power loss between engine and PTO, is simpler and less expensive, but lacks live PTO which matters for brush cutting or snow blowing.
No, the PTO is a clutched mechanical engagement, so switching gears or ranges stops the PTO from spinning.
No, the 300A loader has a fixed mount onto the frame, so it does not have quick tach on and off ability.
John Deere moved the fuel tank to the back of the tractor in recent years, where it is easily accessible with a nice big opening and a fuel gauge.
