[QUOTE="Allen, post: 423712, member: 389"] That wouldn't have been a 3032E or 3038E, would it? That "E" designation pretty much meant it was a tractor built to a lower standard. There were a number of complaints about structural failures on them as people thought they were built a little more durable than they were in reality. I specifically shied away from the 3000 series of tractors for that very reason even though they were attractively priced. I too have a tendency to use things to their fullest at times and wanted the larger, heavier framed tractor. As far as the loaders on JD compact tractors, you can also choose a lighter weight loader such as the 400X compared to the 400CX. They are very close in specs, right until you look at the weight of the respective loaders. The 400CX weighs 1100 lbs, whereas the 400X only weighs a little over 900 lbs. I'm going to guess the 400X would be the one with all the welds on it after 20 years of use. I love tractordata.com as a resource for specs on all the different platforms out there.
