Read articles →This is a dealer walkaround of the John Deere 3043D gear-drive model, narrated feature-by-feature rather than run through actual work. Cody covers the shuttle shift and four-speed range levers, fuel tank size, folding ROPS, tire options, iMatch three-point with a 16-inch box blade, and the 300D loader's lift specs and joystick placement. No hands-on digging, loading, or driving footage. Good for a quick spec-and-layout orientation before shopping in person.
Posted by the Hartville Hardware Power Equipment channel, so expect a dealer-style walkaround rather than an independent owner review.
The 3043D is 42.2 horsepower and delivers about 36 and a half horsepower to the rear PTO.
The 300D loader has a lift capacity of almost 1,300 pounds, and 850 pounds at its highest point of about 84 inches.
The fuel tank, located at the rear of the tractor, holds 9.7 gallons.
It comes with turf tires, R1 ag tires, and R4 tires, which spread weight displacement while providing tread for dirt work and snow removal.
