Covers every attachment added post-purchase, real wear and damage sustained (hydraulic leak, dented grill guard, three broken PTO shafts), why he skipped the backhoe, and candid sizing advice for five-to-ten-acre properties. Best for first-time buyers weighing the 2032R against smaller or larger models.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from his own land-clearing work, with no apparent dealer or brand affiliation.
It has handled moving trees and logs well, with main damage being a hydraulic leak from a stick hitting a fitting, a dented grill guard, and three broken PTO shafts on the stump grinder.
As a new owner he didn't plan to dig trenches on other people's property or deal with water lines, cables, and power, and the backhoe was a $9,000 expense.
The owner says the two series John Deere could handle just about anything on a five to ten acre property for someone who has never owned a tractor before.
After seeing them side by side at the dealership he felt the two series was way better, and the 2032R let him afford the grapple, brush cutter, tiller, and box blade together.
