Overview

Brock takes his John Deere 2038R on a quick paid brush-cutting job next door, swapping in a flail mower after discovering a broken shear pin. The video's real hook is troubleshooting: a coolant leak from an aftermarket heater hose and a mysterious flashing PTO warning light at 725 hours. Light on specs but honest about the problems encountered, good viewing for 2038R owners dealing with similar electrical or cooling issues.

An owner-operator channel that documents real paid work and equipment problems on their own property, so expect candid field impressions rather than a sales pitch.
