Read articles →This is a side-by-side, feature-by-feature walkaround comparing an old-style 2032R against a new-style 2038R sitting nose to nose, covering tires, mower deck design and autoconnect, loader specs, cockpit controls, seat/suspension, three-point hitch, hydraulic deck-lift, and actual sold prices ($19K vs $26K) for the two used units shown. It's a detailed visual comparison rather than a hands-on field test, best for buyers weighing whether the redesign's extra cost is worth it.
Posted by Good Works Tractors, a dealership channel selling these exact used tractors and attachments, so expect an inventory-driven walkaround with sales links included.
The 2015 2032R with 212 hours and loader and mower sold for $19,000 plus tax, while the 2017 model with 167 hours sold for $26,000.
No, the old style 62-inch drive-over mower deck is not autoconnect, so the PTO shaft underneath does not attach by itself.
The new style has the 220R loader while the old style has the H130 loader, both quick park with quick-attach buckets and comparable capacity.
No, both have a category 1 three-point hitch, 540 RPM rear PTO, standard drawbar, and run about five-foot implements.
