The second half walks through the Curtis aftermarket cab in practical detail. Best for shoppers weighing the 3E series against the 1025R or wondering about cab options.
An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractors, though this particular unit and cab were on loan from a dealership and provided by the cab manufacturer, so there's a light sponsorship element to keep in mind.
Surprisingly no. The 300E loader on the 3032E has less boom breakout force and less curl capacity than the smaller 1025R's loader, according to the specifications.
In the test shown, the bucket had 988 pounds in it, which Tim says is about the max that can be lifted to full height, with the bucket curled back toward the pin.
No, Deere does not offer a cab for the 3E series or the 2032R, 2038R and similar models, so owners use aftermarket options like the Curtis cab shown.
As of the year this video was made, a backhoe option has become available for the 3 Series, though in prior years that was not possible.
