It opens with a useful spec and price comparison (both around $21-22K), but the testing is informal and the host admits it's more entertainment than rigorous evaluation. Best for shoppers wanting a rough real-world feel, not a detailed technical breakdown.
This is a Yanmar dealership channel, so the comparison favors their brand, the host acknowledges they primarily sell the N-Mark.
The John Deere 3038E (2017, with grapple) sold around $22,000, while the Yanmar N-Mark 235 (2019, new) was priced around $21,000, making them roughly comparable.
The John Deere 3038E has a 1,356 lb three-point hitch capacity and 1,200 lb loader lift. The Yanmar N-Mark 235 has a 2,205 lb three-point hitch capacity and 1,300 lb loader lift.
The operator could not get the John Deere 3038E's bucket full of gravel and it struggled to lift, while the Yanmar N-Mark 235 was filled more than full and dumped it smoothly.
