New 3203:

I finaly got my 3203 today! I ordered it with the 300X loader and the vertical exaust. Just want to say that it is possible to put a 300X or CX on the 3203! I think that this model is often overlooked because of what some people think about it. This is a good little tractor and I trust that Deere knows by now how to build a good tractor, no matter what model is chosen!
I also plan on putting a Woods groundbreaker backhoe on this tractor as well.
That being said, Woods has designed and approved a solid frame mount for the 3203.
For what I have in mind for this setup it should work out just fine. Now I cant wait to put it to work.

good looking tractor. i too am looking forward to a backhoe at some point. you say you ordered it with a 300x loader, it looks like you have the 300cx. again nice tractor.you're first two pictures have the 300x but it looks like the last one has the 300cx? did you switch?

Yes I did. My dealer did not have a 300 loader installed for me to test run, and I was going on the specs and pictures that I could find on the 300X loader. I thought that it would work out ok. But when they delivered it and I tried it out for the first time, the major thing I didnt like about the 300X was that the dump angle wasnt very steep, and It didnt have as much lift hight either.
So, the next day I called up my salesman and told him the issue and he said no problem to switching loaders. Only downside is I had to run all the way back to the dealer to change them out. I figured for only $500 more, why not.
I have to say that my dealer did take care of me on this one, considering that I took the thing back the next day and they didnt hesitate on changing them out.

Hear is a few more pics.
