Overview
This is a real-world chore video, not a spec review: the owner uses the 3039R loader to move composted horse manure into a Dion dump wagon, hauling it up a steep pasture hill to spread on garden beds. Along the way he compares the standard loader against the MSL self-leveling loader he previously used on a 2038R, discussing rollback, bucket capacity, and ballast differences. Useful for owners weighing MSL versus standard loaders on real dirt-moving tasks.
Appears to be an owner-operator on their own property sharing hands-on loader impressions rather than a dealer or professional reviewer.
