Read articles →This is a six-month follow-up on a working 3039R, not a first-look walkaround, so it leans on real usage: 203 engine hours, 174 PTO hours, first shop service done, a brush guard add-on, a swapped-out PTO shaft on the Frontier RC2060 brush hog, and honest gripes about tires catching briars and guards ripping off in field work. Best for owners weighing long-term durability over showroom specs.
Posted by an owner running this tractor on their own job site, giving hands-on impressions rather than a dealer sales pitch.
It has 203 hours on the engine and roughly 174 hours on the PTO.
No major problems out of the tractor. The only complaint is the tires seem to catch more briars than expected.
The manufacturer's original shaft was not strong enough and seemed to bend, wobble, and shake during use.
It runs about 400 dollars installed, though it was done free of charge during the shop service visit.
