Thanks for the feed back. As far as a Deere backhoe I don’t think one is offered. Someone else tried a backhoe on tractor of this size and said it was slow. They suggested to find an older full-size backhoe for the same money as a backhoe attachment.

Yes they do it is the 370b backhoe

I have around 145 hours. I have not had any issues with mine.

I do stop when shifting ranges, direction of travel and down shifting the gears. Now to up shift the gears as I’m rolling I just depress the clutch and shift to the next higher gear and keep going. Maybe I shouldn’t. The way I do it I don’t hear any grinding.

@@rsmstuff3178 thanks I was looking at tractordata.com I thought it sounded dumb but I guess not if its not synchronized

@@tyerock7851 I did try to down shift when I first purchased and found that it wasn’t synchronized. It isn’t that big of a deal to me.

@@rsmstuff3178 true it’s a tractor not a car going 60 mph haha

Sorry to keep you wanting on an answer. I know that a aftermarket 3rd function is available. I’m waiting to hear back on the power beyond. I do know that there is a power beyond for the E series. I will comment back when I find out on the D series.

John Deere does not offer a power beyond for this tractor at this time. I don’t know if they plan on making one either.

I haven’t seen a cruise option for the 3025D. With this being a gear drive, select the range and gear. Then use the throttle on the dash to increase or decrease speed. The 3025E has a cruise option because it has a hydrostatic transmission.

@@rsmstuff3178 assumed it was a hydro,just added a 3038e to lineup and is a handy option on it.

@@jodyriggs5679 I would agree to that.

Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner. If it was me I would take it back to the dealer assuming that it is still under warranty. Now from what I see the pump is computer controlled. I could be wrong, my thoughts would be input to the computer, output from the computer or something stuck internally in the pump. These are all guesses without physically looking at it. I do not have the information to pass on for troubleshooting.

Tractor and loader was just over 23k.

@@rsmstuff3178 man i bought a 2020 JD 3025D and it doesn't power up the dash lights as ignition or to start/crank. I would have to turn the key off then power back up ignition and now ign. stays lighted up and easily cranks and start. Another problem the rractor shuts off while driving, nothing to do with the stupid safety features. Even on the seat. I told the dealer sales man and he said to shut it off and start it back. But who wants a brand new maching that shuts off while driving. Or even intermittently does not power the dash/ignition. Delivered on saturday 12/4/20. And all this bs. But at the dealer when i tested it it does that no ignition problem. And switch off and then back again and stayed start. Got ot home and would shut down while driving.

@@rsmstuff3178 how's urs running.

I haven’t had any issues with mine.

Just got one yesterday 17999

Hydrostatic is the way to go in all tractors under 45hp period. Anything above 45 hp needs to be gear drive. I have had both so trust me I know.

@@fasterpastor4383 if you say so, I have a gear driven ji case with vac that will out pull our brand new 40hp hydro tractor. And the hydro tractor has double the horsepower.

I agree on getting a gear drive. I think if people knew how to operate them. It would be the top choice to go with. I have a 84 jd 300b industrial front end loader. So nice when plowing or grading. To each their own I guess. Purchasing the 3025d this weekend.

@@fasterpastor4383 Oh yea 21.5 horse power to the rear wheels is more than most "hobby-farmers" know what to do with. The 45 engine horse power REALLY gets "diluted" once it hits the rear wheels. Manufactures give ZERO DATA on hydrostatic tractive pulling forces. I have seen the same Exact tractors ,one with a hydrostatic & one with gear drive;--- the result gear drive had 225% more pullforce. I have 2 gear & 1 hydro and can thoroughly BELIEVE This.

@@donaldstrishock3923 Just to let you in on a little secret if you hook them up in a tug of war setting and let the hydro pull against a gear tractor of same horse power they will both set there and spin and go NO WHERE!! So how is that way more power?? So I know it’s not 225 percent more. That is a stupid comment.
