"This small to medium tractor is rated for hobby farms, or small farms to 10 acres. We have just shy of 160 acres and I can say this tractor has seen its share of abuse, but still 'runs like a Deer(e)'! It in no way has faltered in its performance and has stood up to major performance that I did not think it would. We have moved about 70 large trees and continue to push scrub brush, move tree trunks, and push stumps of trees that are up to 6 to 8 feet in diameter. Yes, the price you pay for is the name, and for the same motor you could have probably paid less for the Yanmar. It is a really great tractor, but it is still pricey to get this serviced!"
"I bought it because it had John Deere decals and I thought that meant quality, even though my cousin warned me against the E series tractors. It's cheap built, plastic, plastic, and more plastic, and then you get cast iron where you should have steel. You name it, I've had issues: gauges replaced multiple times, power take-off went out, hydraulic leaks multiple times, front axle repaired, fuel tank leaks, and hydraulic pump went out. I was on a first name basis with the service department, and those guys told me its a junker with constant issues. I ended up trading it for a New Holland Workmaster 33 and its been 10 times the tractor the 3032E was, The Workmaster 33 is built like a tank, out-weighs the 3032E by 800 pounds, and you can sure feel the difference in build quality. The kicker is the New Holland (old Ford tractors) actually cost less than the junker 3032E. I've got 350 hours on the New Holland so far and it's never missed a beat. If you buy the 3032E because of the John Deere name like I did, you will be disappointed."
"At around 5 hours, I turned on the power take-off and it sounded like the whole rear end was coming apart after that loader started dropping down and emptying the load! I had the dealership take the tractor in to the shop. After 2 weeks, they tried to say that was normal - which was a lie! The loaner tractor has no problems, no noise above normal, and it is a model 4105 with 80 hours. They cannot figure out what to do. They have 2 more in stock with the same problem! I told them not to bring it back to me like that!"
"I have had this tractor for 9 months now. It has 490 hours. The only problem so far is that the tachometer worked intermittently. They replaced the dash. I should have gotten the 3038E, just for the extra horsepower, and it is a bit tippy, but not worth going up to the 3046R which is more stable and has more features, which I probably wouldn't use anyway. Being able to switch the rears like on the 3046R would give a lot more stability. I will probably replace it after another year or so, probably around 1500 hours, and go to the 3038E or 3046R, depending on how the next year goes. I run a Trimax 155 mulch mower, Bertolini 400lt 6-meter boom sprayer, 5-foot box scraper, 400-kl fertilizer spreader, 10-foot paddock harrows and have a set of pallet forks and bucket for the front-end loader."
"I have owned my JD 3032E for about a month and I am very pleased. First, keep in mind I bought an E series on purpose as I have no need for the features of the R series, so why pay for them. My reason for buying this tractor was to pull a land plane (Frontier LP1172) to maintain our 1,000 foot driveway, drag our sand horse arena with a yet to be purchase DragonFly (I'm using a chain harrow for now), and maintain the 12x12 manure bin with the D160 loader and bucket. I gave it a 5 on build quality. Although I am not a mechanic, it seems to be built well I gave it a 5 on features as it has all feature a home owner would want. If you want more you should buy the R series. I gave it a 4 on performance because although it does everything I bought it for, it will not pull a 72-inch land plane smoothly, ripping down deep into sand\dirt that is not entirely dry as it will build up in the land plane. When dry there is no issues as the dirt flows over the blades and does not build up. I gave it a 5 on value because for the money I got everything I wanted for a great price I gave it a 4 on reliability because although I have only owned it for a month it has been hassle free and great customer service from my JD dealer."
"I started out driving 4020s as a teenager and then went on to 86 series 4-wheel drives. I need a compact tractor for mowing and horse barn chores. The 3032E works great in my 20-foot aisle way and runs my John Deere mower with ease. The visibility and control ergonomics are great. The sale price is a fair trade for an old tractor and 0% made this an easy choice."
"I bought my 3032E in December of 2013, it has 412 hours. First the hydrostatic went out, and it cost $165 to pick it up and deliver. A week later, it started leaking from the front wheels and was picked up again. John Deere has had it for over 3 weeks waiting on parts. I wouldn't recommend this tractor. "
"I just bought five acres and needed a tractor to maintain it. I have a little bit of everything on my property, from trees to blackberries, and grass to wetlands. I looked at new and used tractors, John Deere, Kubota, and New Holland. Their are pluses and minuses with all the tractors I looked at. The cheapest was New Holland and the most expensive was Kubota, John Deere was rite in the middle. I have a 60' brush hog, 60' scraper, and a front end loader for it. This tractor has plenty of power for me. I just got two end dumps of boulders for a retaining wall. The wall will be only three feet tall. I've been using my tractor to move some of the boulders and it has plenty of power. I know its not a front end loader or an excavator. You still have to put it through its paces. If you want a tractor with all of the options, this isn't the tractor for you. Do your home work and buy what fits for you. I've never owned a tractor, but have been around equipment. The JD 3032 has done everything i have wanted it to do and then some. It's a great tractor so far. Only time will tell if it will last!!"
"This is a great 1st machine for anyone not needing MID PTO. All controls are easy to understand, no frills to confuse/complicate the operator."
"I bought a brand new tractor for reliability. Guess I should have bought something other than a john Deere. Less than three years old with around 270 hours, my 3032e already needs two expensive parts replaced. The rpm gauge does not work and the hydrolock system has a bad valve. Both parts add up to over $2,500 and john Deere corporate says they are very sorry. If you buy this tractor, plan for an extra $10 per hour of use for parts replacement. "
