Read articles →This is a for-sale walkaround of a specific 2020 3046R with a 375A backhoe, mid PTO, power beyond kit, turf tires, and extra options like backup alarm, strobe, and heated/AC cab, not a generic model review. It covers cab controls, drive modes, loader/backhoe functions, and hitch/lift capacities in decent detail, but stops short of actually digging or loading. Useful for buyers comparing equipped 3046Rs and curious about this specific unit's options.
Run by a seller flipping tractors (Dry Run Outdoors), so the walkaround doubles as a sales listing for this specific unit.
The loader can lift 1600 pounds, and the three-point hitch can lift between 2200 and 2400 pounds if the backhoe is removed.
Yes, it has a mid PTO in addition to the rear PTO, which is a special order option not found on all 3046Rs or 3R Series tractors.
It only takes about five minutes once you get the hang of it, though it requires a few extra steps compared to smaller backhoes since it uses the rear three-point hitch.
It has a hydrostatic transmission with forward and reverse pedals and three speed ranges: A is slowest and most powerful, B is middle, and C is fastest with least power.
