I have a rather strange request. I need some ideas for how I can mount a posthole digger on my 3 point. Easy peasy normally. I have always had my digger dangling from a pulley in the rafters. But now I need to haul digger, mower, and tractor to a far-away remote location where there are no...

I need to do some interstate hauling with my 3039R. About 336 miles one-way. I will do this for about a year, or a bit less and then may sell the trailer or keep it to use with for hay hauling. In any event, I am in the market for a used or new trailer. Since this is a temporary need, I do...

I am looking around for a snow blower for this winter. For sure, I will need one. My soon to be regular driveway will be 1500 ft long and gravel in Northern Minnesota. My tractor is a JD 3039R. I'm looking at a SB1174P Frontier inverted blower that is 74" wide. The 3039 is "rated" for...

Anyone have any recommendations for a decent seat cover for my 3039R (2016 if it matters)? Seems like a trivial issue but most of what I see looks like it will fit about like a well worn out cheap sweat sock. My tractor catches a lot of UV light that will degrade it eventually. Just want to...

I have a 2016 or '17 Deere 3039R with their H165 loader. It has been an awesome tractor with just a few, mostly ergonomic things I wish I could chance, but probably cannot. However, one issue that might be adjustable is the rate of the hysdraulics, particularly the rate of dumping the bucket...

I have an error code on my tractor that "doesn't exist" for this make and model. the code is ICC A 3352.07 I went up to the dealer and they could not find that code for this make and model machine (2016 3039R with 105 hrs). Has anyone else seen this? Thanks

I have a "new" tractor - actually now 55 hrs old I guess. It is time for an oil change. What is recommended for oil in these things? I've never had a diesel anything, so school me on what to look for in types of oil (and filters too). I will have to review the owner's manual, but I am...

The owners manual for a new tractor is pretty underwhelming in my opinion. One thing I was interested in was how to operate the loader a little more efficiently. This is my first FEL and I clearly don't know its full capabilities. The manual mentions using "float" mode at times, but I have no...

If you have one of the tractor models listed in the thread title, I would like to know a critical dimension. Specifically, what is the width between the forks at the lower end of the right side 3-point lift assembly where it fits over the lift arm? I believe this unit may work on my brand...

I am looking for a leveling box that I can use on the right side of the 3 pt hitch to adjust the level of the side link arms. It seems that there are lots of aftermarket leveling boxes for some other brands of tractors but I'm not finding anything for the 3000 series Deere CUTs. It would be...

I'm a new owner of a JD 3039R. It seems to be a great machine so far as one weekend of working with it has shown. There are a couple of things however that I wish were different and one of them stands out as maybe my own fault. With the machine I ordered a JD(Frontier) Quick Hitch. I know I...

So, I am about to take delivery of my first diesel powered anything. And that means I need to buy new gas cans, perhaps I should say fuel cans, for it. I have not bought fuel cans in decades, having plenty of old, but we'll made cans, until now. Unfortunately, it seems that all the fuel cans I...

S219 has a great thread on http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/owning-operating/374249-my-new-customized-ballast-box.html. His timing is impeccable for me as I have a new tractor on order (JD 3039 with FEL and grapple) and will be needing to make one as well. And I have somewhat similar ideas...

On another thread, I asked "I'm about to buy a new tractor - about 39 horses. Why would I really want SSQA adapter for it if all I plan on using on the front end is the bucket or forks?" To which someone replied, "That's really a topic for another thread. Changing between a bucket and forks...

After talking to a JD salesman, I am comparing a 3039R vs a 3038E. I was leaning towards an R, but the dealer thinks an E might be better for me ($5k cheaper). He has an R on the lot, but he can find an E easily I guess. Anyway, the E has a 2 spd hydro, and no adjustment to speed up or slow...

I'm looking for a new JD 3 series tractor (or a Kubota L). I have seen a 3039R but I noticed there is also a 3038E listed on their website. The 3R seems to be a little more than $4k more expensive than the comparable 3E. What is the difference between the 3e Series and the 3R series in...

I'm a new guy here. I am considering a new and modern tractor. I need help. While waiting to have my registration approved, I have meandered among the fora looking for information and getting a feel for the helpfulness of this place. I think I am in the right place. I think I know what my...

I'm a new guy. Interested in finding a new tractor. I live along a river near Story City Iowa and have a very early Ford 8N that has been a lot of fun and help, but I'm getting ready to move on. I need advice and suggestions as to what might be best for my purposes. I'll post a thread in the...
