Whether you call them hidden, forgotten, or poorly explained, I will share 5 features and 2 tips that will help you get more from your compact tractor. I demonstrate these features on the John Deere 2032R (2038R).  TI learn something new all the time on these tractors and enjoy sharing with others to help advance their enjoyment of these great machines... 

Our cheapest and most used attachment on our 3 John Deere Compact Tractors.  We use it on the #JohnDeere 1025R, John Deere 2032R (2038R), and our John Deere 4052R.  It is the Tractor Drawbar with Suitcase Weight Brackets | 2" Receiver | CAT 1 3-Point trailer hitch from Titan Attachments and only costs $150.  It is iMatch and Quick Hitch compatible and we use it all the time around our property. 

John Deere compact tractor owners, take caution.  There is a frequent reoccurrence of loose axle bolts on the John Deere 2, 3, and 4 Series tractors.  I personally experienced it on my 2017 2032R... Check those bolts often and mark them so you can keep an eye on them.  This playlist takes you from the point John Deere was not acknowledging the issue through to when they proactively reached out to me to fix my tractor for free and opened a DTAC number for other to also receive service.  This issue is documented in a number of other forums.

Ten minute install of the Load-N-Go attachment (model BXX-10354) on the John Deere 72D mid-mount mower that I run on my John Deere 2032R compact tractor... This Load-N-Go attachment also fits the 2038R and select 3 series John Deere compact tractors. These ramps replace the original drive over ramps on the John Deere 72D mower deck. The Load-N-Go allows the compact tractor owners to pick up the mower deck with the loader arms making maintenance easy. 

Using my new Hud-Son Uniforest 35M Forestry PTO Skidding Winch on my John Deere 2032R compact tractor to skid my first logs to be cut on the Wood-Mizer LT35 portable sawmill.  Still lots to learn, but definitely going to make retrieving logs much simpler.  I purchased my Hud-Son Uniforest  35M Forestry PTO Skidding Winch from Tom, Judy, and Mark at Brownwood Sales and Forestry Equipment in Columbus, Ohio.  Their service and support has been fantastic. Hud-son Forest Equipment imports these winches from Slovenia.

John Deere 2032R with Frontier PHD-100 Post Hole Digger are used in the planting of the Morse Tree Nursery Big Buck Pack of Trees.  I also was given a Key Saver, the cool invention made by Robbie Clark.  I show it and install it on my John Deere 2032R 2038R compact tractor.

Clearing 8" of snow on a hilly gravel driveway using the John Deere 2032R / 2038R compact tractor and the 220R front end loader. There has to be a better way.  After about 90 minutes of slipping and sliding I got it done but I need some advice and tips for a better approach. Snowblower? Back blade? More ballast? Snow plow blade? Snow pusher? Curious what the best approach for a gravel driveway with steep hills.  Let us know your thoughts!
