Read articles →A real-world owner review after one year and roughly 200 hours of use, structured front-to-rear with direct comparisons to a John Deere 2038R. Covers loader breakout force, the three-range E Hydro transmission in practical terms, cab comfort limits, AC/heat performance, cable-operated rockshaft frustrations, a warranty cylinder replacement, tire and wheel spacer choices, and stability on sidehills. Useful for buyers deciding between the 3R and 4R series.
An owner-operator sharing candid impressions from actual field use on their own property, with no apparent commercial affiliation.
On paper it lifts only two or three hundred more pounds, but breakout force is much stronger. He can drive into a pile and curl up the bucket without backing up, unlike smaller loaders.
B range matches the old 2038R's A range, zero to eight mph. The new A range goes zero to four mph and puts the most torque to the tires, used for loader work and brush hogging.
The bucket tilt would not hold a load for more than a few seconds. The dealer rebuilt one cylinder and replaced the other, which the mechanic said practically fell apart during removal.
On a 15 to 20 degree slope with loaded rear tires and three inch wheel spacers, it is not comfortable but he does not feel like it is on the verge of tipping.
