2032R

Terrific tractor

Nice tractor. Well done, quality piece of equipment.

Pros

Cons

FEL, Backhoe, IMatch, 62"Tiller and 72"Land Level

This is my 3rd tractor, 1st was a 1025R which I really liked but didn't have much lifting power, 2nd was a 2025R which I felt was too top heavy and know I just received my 2038R. i had 2.5" spacers installed and filled the tires, what a difference having this big framed 2 series tractor. Love it. But what I would really like to shout out about is the service I received from Tabatha at United Ag & Turf in Rhome TX. I order my 2038R from the JD site cuz I didn't really care for the salesman when I bought my 2025R. Well ordering off of the JD site was fine and impersonal but got the job done. While waiting for the tractor to arrive at the UA&T dealer in Rhome TX. I had second thoughts on tire type, the spacers and the size of my ordered box blade. Tabatha from the Rhome UA&T said no worries and ordered a 2032 with the tires I wanted, ordered the JD Spacers and talked me into a 72" Land Level instead of the Box Blade. She had all the tires swapped and spacers installed when my tractor showed up and sold me the cheaper 72" Land Level. My tractor is perfect now and I'm very happy she talked me into the Land Level, so shout out to UA&T and Tabatha at the Rhome TX. location. They will from now on get all my business.

Pros

Perfect machine

I love this machine! I only have 9.5 hours so far but I couldn’t be happier with this purchase.

Pros

Cons

2032R Failure/Delivery

The 2032R is a great unit. A definite step up from 1025R. The exception was that the service dept did not properly install options and resulted in multiple return trips to resolve improper installation of accessories resulted in massive hydraulic fluid leakage with loss of hydraulic fluid. I am hoping the fluid loss does not result in future failure of components. Very poor Quality control by the management to not have verified proper operation before delivery.

Pros

Cons

First month review

I have had my tractor for about a month. So far it has lived up to all of my expectations.

Pros

Cons

Great tractor

Fiest of all. My salesman was excellent . Did an excellent job of describing the loading and unloading of the mower deck and also physically showed me how. Also went over where to grease everything. Delivery was on time. After running the tractor at home, I must say for my purposes on my hills that the high range should be the low range and the low range could be lower for more pushing and digging power with the front end loader. I also think the placement of the key be higher on the dashboard and not low and in the middle of one's knees.

Pros

Cons

Hind sight hurts deep.

If the loader would not shift at mounting points like it was attached to a 3pt system in back, I would have gone to 4 stars and if I could have gone to regular tractor tires R-1's And was told that a Mechanical Self Leveling (MSL) Loader would be as extreme of a disappointment when trying to dump and basically no tilt back at all- I would never have gotten it--only reason i did was thinking it maybe safer for wife and daughter but with out functionality it is like trying to scratch an itch 6 feet away with a 3 foot stick. Only reason for 2 stars is service has been--umm - ok , parts department great -sales super - REAL service manager superb, mechanic -- ummm broke a thing and never disclosed it and ended up back for another couple days under warranty , The gals at the counters splendid personalities to talk with when checking out . If it weren't for the loaders sloppy movement at the posts and restrictions as great as they are with the MSL , It would most likely be 5 stars - i rather hate the loader with the MSL and the feel of it popping off at any time and having payments for another 80 months --yeah -- like that --- I guess one could argue for the safety but i could be to much of a worry wort too :[

Pros

Good all-around tractor for a small farm

John from Tangent has always been good to us , even when I have been- lets say- inquisitive of many questions. I should have been more understanding of getting add on as not to put on my revolving account and having added to the tractor in first place-0% financed. certainly messed up there with 3rd, 4th and 5th remotes and install, rear lighting and 3pt light kits. I knew i wanted these things . Presently tryin to fix broken shroud from shop work installing remotes there, John will be calling me back soon . Things happen some times.

Pros

2022 2032R

I bought this tractor to do some of the smaller jobs around my place and I have to admit I really like operating this unit. The ergonomics are the best I’ve felt on any tractor. I have my 5075E for the big stuff but I’ve got to admit with the MSL loader this tractor will do more then I expected. Overall I really like it!!

Pros

Cons

Very handy tractor small and easy to use. I enjoy

What a easy tractor to drive so dam handy. I will be used it alot

Pros

Cons

Not as strong as I thought it would be

Good investment but thought that the tractor had more lift power on the front bucket

Pros

Cons

What an awesome small tractor. So user friendly. The new tire design works great.

Pros

Good tractor

The tractor has amble power for tilling and loader

Pros

Glad I upgraded

Upgraded from smaller unit. So glad I did. This one will do the projects around here that need done.

Pros

Cons

Cruise on forward/reverse pedals easy to increase

It scoops whole bucket of gravel . Short time to cover shop floor. I like float on boom to smooth surfaces. Quick hitch works good grabbing rotary cutter and blade .

Pros

Cons

Good

So far so good. 18hrs on it with mmw and flail mower use. For the use of the machine I do wish I went with the 38 for the extra horsepower (want to run a Pto generator)

Pros

perfect

great product and features would highly recommend it.

Great tractor with awesome features. True North Equipment in Grand Forks North Dakota was terrific!

Pros

Great tractor

Love the tractor and features. Such a comfortable riding machine. True North Equipment in Grand Forks North Dakota was awesome to work with. Theu treaded me so well. Would definitely recommend other customers to go to True North Equipment!

Pros

Cons

Very nice outfit

I got rid of my 1025 for this 2032 r and I did it for a couple reasons. I wanted a little more horsepower and a little heavier tractor. I have 7 John Deere tractors so not new to the green line up.

Pros

Cons

Just the RIGHT size

I’ve used this tractor for a multitude of tasks around our rural property. It’s just the right size. Unhooking the PTO is hard for me. Any pointers appreciated!

Pros

Cons

When did John Deere quit making quality tractors.

Purchased a new 2032r tractor with loader and 72” mid mount mower on May 5, 2023. Returned to dealer on May 8 with a high vibration when using the mid pto. As of today, July 18, 2023 it has been in the shop twice for a total of 45 days out of 75 and it still isn’t fixed. They have changed a valve body and are now changing the hydraulic pump, as per John Deere Tech direction. I d ok n’t want the tractor back because due to the high vibration there is no guarantee that damage done by the vibration will start showing up in other areas of the tractor. You can not get a number for John Deere Corporation to talk to someone. You can only talk to JD Customer Service. They started out seeming concerned and then told me my tractor dies not have a DEFECT and there is no chance of getting another tractor in its place. Dealer said there is no Lemon Law for tractors. Look up the John Deere Promise. In the last 59 years I have purchased 19 JD tractors from 10 hp to 105 and never had an issue with any of them till now. It is ashamed that a tractor that has so many great features, is easy to operate, has the most comfortable operator station I have ever used has such poor response from the parent company when you have an issue. JD Customer Service said once JD sells the units to the dealer it is the dealers problem if you have an issue.

Pros

Cons

Love It!

Does everything I could need. I don't farm but I live on 5 acres of land with a new built home so I've had a ton of work to do to the yard to get it looking good. This tractor has been able to do everything needed! Best advice to anyone looking...spring for the loader. Had a neighbor tell me the same even though I didn't need it, and in the first few months, I've used it at least a dozen times. Seems to sip gas so far and has more than enough power for any medium to small-sized heavy duty job. Excited to finally use rear PTO this fall on a tiller. 72" mower deck is pretty boss, although it was very annoying that they couldn't get in the R4 tires requested due to shortages. A great investment that will last for decades if taken care of properly!

Pros

Cons

Constantly broken

Hydraulic pump failed at 200hrs, has had 6 lift deck actuators, hydraulic pump over pressurized bucket and blew both bucket cylinders.

Pros

Cons

A perfect fit!

I bought a package deal, tractor, loader, mower and scraper. We have larger tractors and a John Deere backhoe that we could not do without. I saw a display of the package deal at a nearby feed store and had to inquire. So glad that I did! We have horses and cattle and use this tractor for feeding, moving equipment (heavier that you would think), mowing pasture, scraping our arena and loading work equipment for our business onto a flatbed trailer. I seriously don't think that we could or would do without it. We are seniors and just love the convenience of having it. Things my husband used to be able to lift by hand and can't anymore, are a piece of cake for us. It has a nickname "Little Johnny" and "sleeps" in our shop. It gets more baths than our pickups.

Pros

Cons

So far a great machine !

I had a 2025 R model purchased in 2015. It just did not feel correct. This tractor, a newly redesigned model was a great improvement over the 2025R. After 3 and 1/2 years of use, it has proven to be a very good tractor!

Pros

Cons

good machine,, but

I have had a 650 with extratrak tires that i bought new over 30 years ago. always able to get it out of the mud and difficult areas. 4 wheel drive and able to lock both back tires when it go bad. the 2032 is not like that. going up a gentle slope in the snow, in "4 wheel drive" i had one front wheel turning and one back wheel turning. have been very nearly stuck multiple times. with out being able to have positive traction which i asked for and was told it had when i bought the tractor. It is a good tractor so far, just don't use it in the mud, snow, soft ground. or on a hill.

Pros

Cons

Great tractor, Worthless poorly designed loader.

I "upgraded" from a 2001 4110 FEL and 60" belly mower. It was a lighter tractor and mowed exceptionally well designed loader. I purchased the re-designed 2018 2032R with an FEL and 60" mower. The features on this tractor with the AutoConnect mower deck are light years beyond the competition and have gotten even better in 2022 with the self leveling loader and newly available 3rd function. As the non-self leveling loader is absolute rubbish in design and function, I'd highly recommend the self leveling model just because there is no way it could be worse than the 220R! The loader cylinder geometry renders bucket control to a rattling clunky affair that you cannot keep level to the ground you are working. My loader lacks the lift capacity of the old 4110. Get the fast coupler option for the loader as well. The 4 separate Pioneer connectors are poorly mounted, hard to couple, and undersized. The tractor could certainly benefit from more hydraulic gpm's. The front axle is a carryover from the miserable performing 4200 from the 90's. It won't turn as tight as a 3R series and will scuff on all but the driest of lawns. I wish the deck lift were hydraulic instead of hydraulic. The electric affair has already died on me once (warranty thank God).If they would update the 3R series with the available options on the 2R that would be a better option. You cannot believe how easy to use and pleasant this tractor is! The loader is just worthless.

Pros

Cons

Good, but could use some refinements

I have had this tractor for a week now, and have used it daily. This was a replacement unit for my Kubota B2650. The performance seems great. A few little things I don't care for include the placement of the key, and the lack of room around the differential lock. The lock, the 4wd selector, and the parking brake are close together, and there is insufficient room when wearing snow boots. I can live with these things, and the hydrostatic transmission is much quieter than the Kubota.

Pros

Cons

JD2032r

I bought this tractor in 2014 and now have over 1400 hours of operation on it. It is a high quality product, remarkable engine and hydraulics, and very powerful for its size. I mow about 7 acres a week with a 6 foot finishing mower. I also have a belly mower but opted out for a 3-pt hitch finish mower last year because of the terrain I mow. Both mowers worked great, but I prefer the 3-pt hitch mower for ease of removal and hookup since I also use the tractor for garden work. It handles a 5 ft tiller with ease, and all other rear implements as well. I recommend it highly and my next purchase will be another John Deere, . . . perhaps one with an air conditioned cab.

Pros

Cons

Extremely capable tractor suitable for serious use

After a lot of research and talking to individuals with small acreages to contractors that use small tractors for landscaping work, I purchased a 2020 JD 2032R. Every guy that makes a living with small tractors recommended buying a John Deere if I could afford it. When I got a price for a comparable Kubota (not a stripped down Kubota), the JD 2032R was $50 more than the lowest JD dealer. JD dealers do vary a lot in price so shop around. The layout of the controls and the features built into the JD reflect a lot of refinement over older JD tractors and everything else on market. The FEL and mower detachment/attachment are amazingly well designed features. I immediate put my tractor into heavy use and over loaded the 220 FEL moving pallets of bricks. The 2032 repeatedly picked up in excess of its rated capacity and my contractor told me his orange tractor is lucky to lift 80% of its rating. The rest of the experience with the unit has been the same. Performing better than I expected. Mowing with the electric 60" deck is a premium experience and the tractor did not even notice running a 60" tiller through sod. Of special note, the emission regen system works perfectly and this is not a small matter. Many tractors with orange paint are failing to regenerate and spending a lot of time at the dealership rather than working for the owner. With the Deere, you just use it and the harder you work it, the better. The tractor takes care of the rest. The only real negative is this tractor is heavy and it leaves prints in my house yard after a good rain. I did buy a small rider for around the house to keep my wife happy. For mowing large areas, the 2032R is excellent. One caution is do not let your wife use it. My wife thinks its her tractor now.

Pros

• serious equipment that exceeds its ratings
• easy to use fel and mower deck
• well laid out controls
• emission regen works without intervention
• easy to operate

Cons

• heavy for mowing on wet ground

John DEERE 2032R all round is great

New to using tractors I Like this one cause of the ergonomics paid all cash for it and all attachments. 33k I believe. Human error on using imatch and bushings I didn’t need. Just great all round Just need a grapple. I went with John Deere attachments cause I just wanted to make sure it fits. They are a bit over priced but John Deere service is the greatest. On explanation and repairing etc. It took them forever to get some of my attachments during lock down of 2020 coronavirus. But got them all. Still learning all the ins and out but I love it. I match was a bit tricky but I think I had wrong bushings

Pros

• best trac all around

Cons

• the manuals are a bit difficult for beginners

2016 2032R

I got a 2032R 4 years ago and it is going strong, not a single problem yet. I have about 150 hrs on it, and it is a fantastic piece of equipment to have around our home (9 acre property).

Pros

Cons

Very disappointed

First let me start off by saying.. My nearly 2 year old son's room is Green, he is getting a green electric tractor for his bday. Green was the only choice when I looked at tractors . I currently have 160 hours on machine and it is at the dealer for the 4th time. Bearing and seal for pto, hydraulic pump, some sort of valve... and now who knows.. I loathe it to the point I won't buy attachments for it because it makes me ill running the FEL with all the hydraulic noises it makes that it shouldn't. I've been able to steer other people away from this unit please do ur self a favor and stay away. I'm not saying John deere is bad, heck I even offered to trade it in and buy up but apparently it depreciated astronomically in 2 years.. I think around 40%. (I have babied this thing the only nights it has spent outside was in the dealership parking lot always washed greased, and properly operated) I Don't buy this tractor buy something else. I'm a forestry equipment operator of 15 years. I've ran 30 year old pieces of equipment, and equipment with the plastic still on the seats.

Pros

• fel connects fast and easy
• mower deck is easy to connect

Cons

• paints don't match between panels
• unrealiable

Best Tractor Ever.

Way better than the old Ford we used to have. Great gas reduction. And fits into a garage.

Pros

• easy to use
• good quality

Cons

Finish quality is very poor - disappointment and dealer support in this issue made me feel robbed

This is my third JD compact tractor and the worse quality unit I have had... wish I would have shopped a different color. The first day the seat pins come out and the seat would not stay in place. The controls and stickers were faded and not even installed to a high quality. The dealer had to come get the tractor, change out the seat because of sun fade, replace several stickers and control switches because of sun fade - The bolt came out of the buckets hydraulic quick disconnect after a short use, the deal sent me the whole unit for me to replace (all within the first couple of months. This tractor sits inside a heated barn - the ROP is rusting, the three point hitch adjustment won’t turn and is rusting - and i was told - the third party suppliers haven’t been doing a very high quality job lately.

Pros

• drive over deck works great
• elec deck control is great

Cons

• poor quality finish

EXCELLENT overall utility tractor with excellent features and options

I spent months researching and looking at tractors around 32 HP before deciding to purchase a new 2032R John Deere. I seriously contemplated buying used but really wanted the new features on the 2-series that were incorporated in the 2017 model year. Used ones for sale were difficult to find and were practically new price after calculating in shipping costs, proving these John Deere's truly hold their value better than the competition. As for holding out for the new 2-series, it was worth the wait for me. While used pre-2017 models could be had for a small savings over the newer model, I am extremely happy with my 2019 and glad I spent a little extra money for the newer features on a tractor I intend to keep for many years to come. This tractor is very stable with the increased size and weight. The quick hitch makes switching between 3-point attachments extremely quick and easy. The quick disconnect 60D mower deck and 220R loader really do connect/disconnect in just a couple minutes with virtually no labor involved. I've also been very happy with the Frontier 1157 tiller. I am approaching 70 hours on my tractor, most of which have been loader and tiller work, and I've never lacked power to this point. I use the E-throttle feature all the time with loader work and love it. I find the loader hydraulics work well, even at very low engine speeds, which is much better than the competition. Routine maintenance is also easy on this tractor. The separate forward and reverse pedals are IMO much more comfortable than the competitors "treadle peddle". Another great design with the newer 2-series JD is layout: the operator can easily get on/off the tractor from either side, unlike older model JD's or the competitor's tractors. Overall this is an excellent utility tractor in this class size and is very user friendly. Is the slightly higher cost of a JD worth it over the competition? In my opinion - YES! 100% satisfied - this thing is a workhorse!

Pros

• user friendly features
• ergonomics
• stability
• ease of maintenance
• excellent loader and mower deck connect/disconnect
• resale value
• good hydraulics
• comfortable
• good warranty period

Cons

• higher priced than competition

very DISAPPOINTED with loader -- Everything else I like

As another user reported, the bucket on my 2017 2032R (loader 220R) does not hold it’s tilt back or its position!! If I load the bucket it starts to flop back and forth while driving the tractor causing the load to shift and spill. It will not hold in position. I have to constantly keep rolling it back. Even holding the control engaged, it will still flop. When empty it will do the same, just takes longer (1-2 min) and then bangs back and forth while driving. I took it to the dealer and was told it was within normal tolerances. Very disappointed in this John Deere tractor/loader. What a poor crappy design. My Orange tractor did not do this. There are some aspects I really liked on this over my old Orange tractor, so I bought a new Green one, but this bucket issue driving me back to Orange. If JD would acknowledge this design flaw and correct it, they would have a 5 star unit.

Pros

• good unit

Cons

• poor loader design

Great tractor- 1 small improvement needed

Wish I had this tractor a long time ago; the amount of time savings its given me getting things done is amazing. I live on an acreage so have a lot of mowing to do in addition to utilizing the implements (snow blower, loader, backhoe)- so the one gripe I have that PLEASE JD IF YOU'RE LISTENING- COME OUT WITH DYNAMIC MULCH CONTROL ON THE 7 IRON MOWING DECKS that ship with the 1-3 series tractors. It was awesome to switch back & forth between discharge and mulching on my old x500 series AccelDeep Deck and ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS is this feature:) I'm' not saying this should hold buyers back from the purchase, I just hope JD sees this and comes out with an on the fly (without uninstalling) mulch kit for the 60D deck so I can switch back and forth as I'm mowing. great tractor, highly recommend!

Pros

• tons of power
• high quality build

Cons

• needs on the fly mulch control option for mower

Bucket problems

The bucket on my 2032r does not hold it’s tilt back or its position. If I leave the tractor with the bucket raised it will be on the ground in 15 minutes. If I load the bucket with wood to be moved bucket slowly drops while moving the load.I took it to my dealer and he told me it was within normal tolerances. Very disappointed in this John Deere tractor.

Pros

Cons

2018 2032R

I purchased this tractor last July and can't believe I lived without one this long! I added the heavy duty bucket and I highly recommend this upgrade, it has come in handy being able to lift items with chains with the bucket. I also opted for the backhoe attachment, it has plenty of power for digging, I used it to cut drainage ditches across my road which is hard shale and it had no problem digging. other attachments I have or a box blade and a large spreader that saved my back sanding the driveway this past winter, although they are not JD attachments they worked great even though they're not JD Green in color. Overall I love this tractor and very pleased with it's performance and fuel economy as well. If you're debating between the 1 series and the 2 series, spend the extra money on the 2 series you won't regret it.

Pros

• ease of use
• operator friendly
• joystick for bucket on fender is the best
• very good power
• excellent fuel economy

Cons

• none at this time

2032R "R" stands for it ROCKS

Purchased the 2032R a little over a year ago. I added the loader, 59" front mount snow blower and Curtis cab with heat. I also added the 3rd SCV as I bought a 60" grapple. Lighting was insufficient for blowing snow so I added a 30" led bar light on the roof of cab and 2-4" led lights on the rear. The tractor is awesome! So far, there is no chore that this tractor struggled. Starts every time. All switches, hydraulics, etc. all work as they are intended. You would not believe the logs I pick up with the grapple! I found out quickly that rear ballast was needed! Great quality and great tractor. Can't say the same for the dealership in Edinboro, PA.

Pros

• everything!

Cons

• nothing!

Love it

I own a turf management business and use this tractor to pull a 72in APS seeder and it handles it very well. A lot of power on a nice size frame for lawn work. I have had it for over a year now and I have no complaints what so ever. John Deere did a great job on this model series.

Pros

Cons

This tractor is well engineered

Changing implements is very easy. I can remove the loader and install the mower in less than 5 minutes. The only words of caution is not to get diesel fuel on the plastic fenders. It will take the gloss off of the plastic. I now cover around the fuel tank with a towel to catch any drips that may occur. Everything else about this tractor is amazing! The drive over mower took a little practice but now it easy. Cutting the grass with a 72" mower is really fast. The imatch system makes it easy to switch from one implement to another. I would also recommend the quick disconnect for the hydraulic lines for the loader. I can remove the loader without even getting off the tractor.

Pros

Cons

The tractor worth waiting for

I purchased the 2032R in June of 2017, newest version. Previously had a 2025 that was 4 years old and just thought this new one would be a little more capable and boy is it. In addition, the seat is significantly more comfortable, new dash and control layout much nicer and I really like the new loader control much better. I added the convenient hydraulic fast block, now I don't even leave the seat to remove and attach the loader. Got the 62" mid mount mower and front end loader at the time of purchase and couldn't be happier. Also had the optional work light kit installed and rear tires loaded. Also like the fuel filling is now on the rear fender instead of up by the hood.

Pros

• built like a big tractor
• more fun than it should be

Cons

• none

60' DECK

I would like to see a cab for this tractor. Air seat would be nice for this tractor. But been having problem with my drive over deck. Gauge is set in one place like 3 1/2 " and then while cutting it will drop to lower number. Do not know why it does that. Any one else have that problem?

Pros

Cons

Excellent design and confront his number one

Excellent design and confront his number one . I’ve owned a 1025R, I purchased a 2032R in 2016 it was OK just very uncomfortable. So I traded that in for a 2032 R My 17 it has comfort design and is so much more that I could ever hope for and a tractor I highly recommend the 2032 my 17 you won’t be disappointed!

Pros

• 2017 best

Cons

Great purchase

We decided on the 2032r,mower,loader,rear blade so far we love it ,I recommend that the rear lamps be moved to the inside of the rops,to prevent damage, which is easily done.

Pros

Cons

Very good tractor - just a few minor gripes

I've had this tractor for over a year and it's handled most things very well. It's powerful, and it seems to be designed well. I use it for mowing, general landscaping, and plowing snow. Here are a few things I would change: 1. It needs a suspension seat (same as the 1025R would be great)!! 2. It would be nice to have a mid-range gear - like Kubota has for situations in between low and high range. 3. Move the hydraulic FEL connections to in front of the foot area, pointing up slightly 4. Offer a cab option like the 3 series. 5. Offer a third hyd. option on the FEL controls - like the 3 series.

Pros

• well built
• powerful

Cons

• needs mid range on transmission
• needs 3rd hyd. control on fel controls
• no factory cab option

Tractor works bigger than it is.

I purchased a 2032R with FEL, 62D mower,72" York Rake, Ballast Box and Quick hitch. This little tractor is mighty, had 650' driveway paved and had to fill in along sides, five triax loads so far and this tractor made short work of the the big piles of top soil. Can't imagine doing with wheel barrow and shovel. Have completed several projects with this tractor and its always up to the task. Tractor is small enough to navigate in woods if you lower ROPS, have cleared woods and brush to make yard bigger and look better. Have patio job to do next, if you buy this tractor just do projects that make wife happy and she will not complain about spending the money on a tractor. Worked great on the blizzard of 2016, pushes 32" of snow like air.

Pros

• this tractor is like a multi tool swiss army knife

Cons

• none

Great tractor

Bought with mowing deck, FEL, 54" blade, and ballast box. 1. Build quality & fit/finish are great. 2. Lots of power. 3. Great stability 4. Great leg room. If you're tall, this is a great choice. 5. 2 design flaws depending on your use a. the 4WD selection lever is on the deck close to the differential lock. Easy to hit the 4WD lever when going for the lock. This can be a significant problem on a hill. b. Brakes are great on level ground, but inadequate on a steep incline. Depends on your terrain.

Pros

Cons

high quality product

This tractor was obtained for snow removal on a 17% grade blacktop driveway with an S-curve banked the wrong way (winter traction is difficult). This 2032R tractor with front-mounted John Deere snow blower handles it well. An after-market Tektite heated cab keeps the operator warm despite weather outside and it fits into standard 7' overhead garage doors.

Pros

Cons

Great Tractor..a couple of issues

This tractor and the 2520 I traded in are rough riding tractors. My pasture is typical, with rough places and unevenness. After mowing for 2.5-3 hours.....I feel beat up. Both tractors are equipped with the R-4 tires, so those with turf tires would likely ride smoother. The other issue is some of the mower attaching hardware (pins/washers/etc) is of poor quality. Replace with heavier duty stuff from Ace or Lowes. Other then these two things, I really like the tractor and would recommend to anyone. Would buy another as well.

Pros

• great dealer service.
• well made tractor

Dynamite 2032R!

After a great deal of shopping around, I just took delivery of this little beast! Traded in my X758 for the 2032R. Wow-what a difference! We own a home on 35 acres, four of which I mow. We also have a very challenging 2,000 foot gravel driveway to maintain during winter months. Along with the tractor, I purchased the 62" mid-mower, loader and 53" bucket, ballast box, aftermarket pallet forks, 60" landscape rake & 60" front snow blade, and I kept the JD 54" front snow blower that I used on the X758. The power generated by this little Yanmar is impressive! Although I have yet to mow or move snow with this rig, we've done some 3 point and loader work. I barely even know that a 250lb landscape rake is on the back, even in use. The 53" bucket is perfect for digging and maneurvering in close quarters. The i-match system is an absolute must, and I'm so glad I included it with the package. Due to some sloping on the property, I swapped the rear tires around to their widest position and gained another 3" of width for added stability. I've loaded down the ballast box with cinder blocks and eight 42lb suitcase weights hanging along the sides. My only complaint is the RIO safety feature. Man, what a pain! I understand it's for safety-sake, but there has to be a better way. That said, I love this tractor. The overall build quality is stellar and everything fits and comes together as one would expect from John Deere. Borrowing the bank's money for FREE for 60 months felt pretty ok also.

Tough little machine!

My 2032r was delivered early Jan 2014 and I immediately used it to plow snow. I bought a H130 FEL, 62C drive over mower deck and Frontier AF11 front blade, 2060 box scraper, and RC2072 rotary mower. I find the 6" front blade to be far superior to the smaller 54" blade, plus it is quick attach to the loader arms. I plow a 500"+ drive and have found this tractor so easy and capable (hydro transmission is SWEET!) that I now plow part of the street and neighbors, etc. 12" of wet Iowa snow curls right off the blade in high gear even. Great stuff. No problem starting the the cold either. the little Yanmar rattles and rolls like diesels do when cold, but gets moving quickly and the hydraulics warm fast also. I have both the trans and engine heaters installed as well and they make a cold start the same as summer. All attachments I bought have been used many times for moving heavy clay (box blade and loader), mowing virgin 3-4' field grasses (RC2072) and moving my 3-4 acres of 'lawn grass' (62C). Each attaches easily and are solidly built. You will pay a bit more, but just take a look at the weld quality, metal dimensions and overall weight vs. 3rd party suppliers. I can't compare with Kubota or Mahindra, etc, cause I don't own them. but this machine works hard and comfortably. I recommend you consider an aftermarket hydraulic top and tilt kit for the 3 point hitch as you will see MUCH improved results with implements. It's a shame Deere doesn't offer that as a factory option. I don't know what machine would be as friendly to a homeowner, contractor or even large landowner when you have to make it into horse stalls, mow the lawn, move telephone poles, level fields, dig ponds (all of which I have done or am doing...) etc. Man - I really want a back hoe, but have to save up for that. I'm not in want of more power, only more weight. And I can add that! Great machine IMHO. Great dealer also! PK Midwest. Remember - "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR"

Many task made easy

The challenge was to get a tractor large enough to be able to mow a field and small enough to mow the lawn. Chose this one because it could do so many tasks. Along with the tractor, bought a 60" rotary cutter, a 60" belly finish mower, a 60" bucket and front end loader, a 54" rototiller, a 54" snow blower, and a 54" front end hydraulic snow blade. All the equipment is John Deere except the field mower is Frontier. The appeal was to be able to interchange the equipment as needed without exerting a lot of time and energy. There was a lot of snow to clear this year and the equipment worked great. The garden was next and was easily tilled. Now the mowing is happening and again the equipment performs as desired. There are no complaints. And when it comes time for service, the dealer has been great to work with, so there should be no problem getting good service.
