John Deere 3036e Compact Tractor - Part 2 Review and Mods

This is part two of an owner's follow-up on his 3036E, picking up after part one cut off. It covers the Yanmar turbo diesel engine's origins, then focuses mainly on the owner's own DIY modifications: a repurposed blade on the ballast box, a lift-up tow ball hitch, log-dragging anchor points, and homemade guards protecting the third-function hydraulic couplers. Best for existing owners hunting practical ballast-box hacks, not shoppers wanting specs or a walkaround.
