The engine uses latest technologies to optimize fuel economy, improve control and accuracy, and reduces environmental impact.

 

The common rail system (CRS) optimizes fuel economy and reduces operating costs compared to engines not using CRS technology. High pressure injection atomizes fuel into finer particles which burn more completely. It results in improved fuel economy and lower cost of operation.

 

The electronic control unit (ECU) provides optimum fuel control and accuracy. ECU monitors and controls the engine. It continuously monitors engine conditions and adjusts the fuel delivery accordingly to ensure optimum performance and emissions.

 

The new engine comes with an after treatment system. The system operates automatically. The exhaust filter consists of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) which captures particulate matter (PM) contained in the exhaust gas. Using a natural cleaning process, most of the PM trapped in the exhaust filter is eliminated by the heat of the exhaust stream generated by normal use. In situations of low temperature, engine speed or load factor, an active cleaning cycle is initiated. In this cleaning cycle, the exhaust gas temperature is raised by injecting additional fuel during the exhaust stroke of normal vehicle operation to the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC).

 

After many hours of use, the exhaust filter may require an ash removal service.

DPF cleaning

Depending on the load that the tractor is under, as well as ambient temperature, humidity, and engine speed, the DPF may build up with particulate matter, thus requiring cleaning. Filter cleaning is determined by one of three conditions:

  • A prescribed time-based estimation of needed filter cleaning
  • DOC/DPF pressure sensors
  • A particulate matter buildup estimation based on load conditions

 

Once one of the three conditions has been met, filter cleaning will occur.

 

There are three different types of filter cleaning processes:

  • Passive filter cleaning
  • Active filter cleaning
  • Parked filter cleaning

 

Passive filter cleaning

Passive filter cleaning occurs naturally when the engine is generating enough heat to oxidize particulate matter. This automatic process occurs continuously during normal operating conditions. No tractor icons or symbols appear on the display during passive filter cleaning.

 

NOTE: Passive filter cleaning requires no operator involvement, and there is no interruption to tractor operation.

Active filter cleaning

 

If conditions (temperature, load, or speed) for passive filter cleaning cannot be achieved, then PM is removed using active filter cleaner.

 

To achieve the required conditions, exhaust temperature management (ETM) manages the initiation and duration of active filter cleaning. ETM can adjust numerous engine parameters and/or inject a small quantity of fuel into the exhaust stream for a short duration. The fuel turns to vapor and chemically reacts with the catalysts in the DOC to create heat to oxidize PM.

 

It is important to note that at no time is the fuel in the DOC/DPF ignited, and there is no flame within the DOC/DPF.

 

Like passive filter cleaning, active filter cleaning requires no operator involvement, and there is no interruption to tractor operation.

 

Parked filter cleaning

 

In some instances where passive and active filter cleaning have not fully cleaned the PM from the system, a parked filter cleaning may need to take place. Most likely, the only time a parked filter cleaning will need to occur is when automatic filter cleaning has been disabled for an extended period of time and multiple warnings to engage filter cleaning were ignored or if the tractor has been used during light load conditions. Additionally, when the automatic filter cleaning process has been deliberately interrupted multiple times, or if active filter cleaning has failed numerous times due to a failed component, a parked filter cleaning may be requested. In these rare instances the operator will have to park the tractor and start the filter cleaning process.

 

The parked filter cleaning process needs to be activated based on usage and operation of the tractor. The process will take approximately 30 minutes. See operator’s manual for more details.

 

This system constantly monitors the soot level of the tractor, making sure the tractor is always in peak performance condition. This ensures high performance at all times.

 

NOTE:  Number of hours since last regeneration and soot level percentage viewable on LCD display.

NOTE: When the tractor is in a filter cleaning process at low speed or while parked and running, the exhaust will be routed through the vertical exhaust outlet. In all other cases, the exhaust will be routed through the downward exhaust outlet. This ensures minimal heat impact to operator.

Key features of the engine are:
  • Economical cast-in-block cylinder design for good cooling and long life
  • Direct fuel injection
    • Improves starting
    • Injects fuel directly on top of pistons for more efficient combustion
    • Develops more horsepower per gallon of fuel than indirect injection engines
  • Aluminum alloy pistons with built-in steel struts are lightweight to reduce connecting rod-bearing loads and provide good heat transfer characteristics
    • Design permits tighter tolerances and neutralizes expansion of the piston, which reduces blow-by and noise from piston slap
    • Top rings are higher on the piston and a thinner head gasket is used to greatly reduce the volume of unburned waste gases and increase combustion efficiency
  • Timing gears and injector drive gears have a helical profile to reduce engine noise
  • Auto-bleed fuel system
    • There is no need to prime the system if the tractor runs out of fuel
    • The system will self-prime the injection pump, lines and injectors, providing fast fuel recovery for easier starting

Maximize productivity with an eHydro™ transmission

The 3R Series Tractor is available with an exclusive three-range electronic hydrostatic (eHydro) transmission.

  • Fluid under pressure transmits engine power to the drive wheels through a pump and motor
  • Provides high torque for start-up
  • Reduces powertrain shock loads

Sauer-Danfoss® supplies both the pump and motor. This ensures that the components are matched to each other, providing maximum efficiency.

The electronic hydrostatic transmission is ideally suited for jobs where productivity is a must, such as loader or mower applications.

Twin Touch™ foot controls allow selecting both direction of travel and speed with a touch of the toe.

Key features of the eHydro transmission are:

  • Infinite ground speeds, even at full throttle, allow the operator to match the speed of the tractor to the job
  • No clutching for fast and easy direction changes
  • Twin Touch foot pedals for quick and easy forward/reverse operation
  • Cruise control is base equipment
    • Cruise-control switch is located on the right-hand console for easy access
    • Cruise control is electronically engaged and disengaged and allows for more precise setting of speed

Sauer-Danfoss eHydro transmission is used for reliable operation. Durability features include:

1) Large forged trunnion shaft with larger support bearings to reduce vibration and noise.

2) Center section made from durable cast aluminum, which is 10 percent stronger.

3) Transmission oil cooler cools transmission oil for longer transmission life.


Safety features of the eHydro transmission include:

  • The tractor starts with one or both foot pedals depressed, but it does not move until both pedals first come to neutral.
  • The tractor comes to a stop if the operator leaves the seat, but the engine does not shut off unless the power take-off (PTO) is also running.
Key John Deere advantage
Twin Touch foot controls Twin Touch foot controls

John Deere's Twin Touch foot controls offer several key advantages over competitive hydrostatic transmission (HST) tractor models.

Key advantages over competitive HST tractor models:

  • Some competitive hydrostatic tractors use a treadle pedal (toe-heel) design foot control for operation
  • Requires the operator to use both toe and heel to change direction, resulting in increased operator fatigue.

 

Integrated eHydro features

The eHydro convenience controls have been integrated into a single module. Combining features such as SpeedMatch™ cruise control, LoadMatch™ switch, MotionMatch, eThrottle, and automotive style cruise control pulls the maximum efficiency out of the eHydro transmission tractors. All these features are standard on the 3R models and deliver an easier and more comfortable user experience.

eHydro convenience control module eHydro convenience control module
eThrottle
eThrottle indicator eThrottle indicator

The 3R Series Tractors come equipped with the eThrottle function. This feature is designed make the tractor quieter and use less fuel. With the simple push of a button, the engine speed is linked to the pedal position. The operator can keep the throttle essentially all the way in the low position. The engine rpms, as well as the tractor speed, increase together with the pedal position. This provides the operator with comfort and convenience as well as fuel economy.

Automotive-style cruise control
Cruise control indicator Cruise control indicator

An automotive-style cruise control is standard equipment on the 3R Series Tractors. Cruise control is electronically engaged and disengaged and is located on the right-hand operator console.

  • Maintains desired forward speed without pressure on the foot pedal
  • When activated, operator can set cruise speed
    • Use the SET/- button to set cruise speed, or to decrease cruise/max speed
    • Use the RES/+ button to set cruise speed, or to increase cruise/max speed
  • A speed sensor also allows the tractor to maintain preset speed driving up and down hills
  • To disengage the cruise control, either:
    • Apply pressure to the brakes
    • Disengage cruise control button
    • Briefly depress the reverse travel pedal
LoadMatch power management system
LoadMatch indicator LoadMatch indicator

LoadMatch is an industry exclusive and a standard feature on the 3R Series Tractors.

 

If torque requirements increase significantly, the transmission will reduce the tractor's drive speed to compensate for the increased load on the transmission, maximizing torque to drive wheels and minimize stalls. 

 

Controls automatically adjust LoadMatch compensation depending on the tractor’s application. PTO applications require less engine speed fluctuation, therefore adjusts the amount of droop depending on PTO speed. This adjustment increases efficiency and optimizes engine speed and torque output based on tractor application.

While typically left on, LoadMatch can be turned off with the right-hand console controls.


MotionMatch
 
MotionMatch, standard on the 3R Series Tractors, is located on the right-hand console. It offers seven settings for adjusting the rollout or decelerate when the pedal is released.

MotionMatch indicator MotionMatch indicator

Longer accelerate and decelerate distances.

MotionMatch indicator MotionMatch indicator

Shorter accelerate and decelerate distances.

SpeedMatch
SpeedMatch indicator SpeedMatch indicator

SpeedMatch, standard on the 3R Series Tractors, further enhances the eHydro cruise control functions by allowing the operator to preset maximum speed. Once this feature is engaged, the operator must stroke the travel pedal fully to meet the operator preset speed. This function improves accuracy and safety, particularly at lower travel speed applications.

Rotary tilling or spraying applications are examples of where SpeedMatch can be applied. SpeedMatch will work in both the forward and reverse set speeds.

NOTE: Automotive-style cruise control and SpeedMatch can be used in conjunction with LoadMatch to maximize productivity.

PowrReverser™ transmission allows for clutchless direction changes

The PowrReverser transmission, available on 3033R and 3039R Tractors, offers a hydraulically shifted forward-to-reverse transmission. This allows for clutchless shuttle shifting between forward and reverse with one lever for quick and easy direction change.

  • The PowrReverser transmission does not require the operator to use the clutch to shift between forward and reverse.

 

The 12x12 PowrReverser transmission's hydraulically actuated wet clutch takes the place of the dry-type traction clutch. Two multi-disk clutch packs (one forward and one reverse) are hydraulically actuated when the directional (reverser) lever is placed in either the forward or reverse position.

Each clutch pack consists of three large, 13-cm (5-in.) diameter clutch disks that are oil-cooled, allowing excellent heat dissipation and extended clutch life.

Forward/reverse clutches Forward/reverse clutches
  • Clutch A is used for the forward operation of the tractor
  • Clutch B is used for the reverse operation of the tractor

 

Key features of the PowrReverser transmission are:

  • 12 forward and 12 reverse speeds
  • Reverser lever, located on the left side on the instrument console, allows operator to make direction changes without clutching
    • Fast shuttle shift for improved loader operation
Helical-cut gears Helical-cut gears
  • Dual-cone synchronizers allow for synchronized shifts between gears for on-the-go shifting with use of the clutch
  • Helical-cut gears for quiet operation
  • Well-spaced speeds for turf, loader, and transport work
  • Neutral-start switch prevents tractor from starting when transmission (main range) is not in neutral
  • Dual wet-disk clutches provide long clutch life
  • Shifts between ranges are not synchronized

1 year and going strong!

I’ve had my 2020 33R power reverser for a year and I’m just as happy now as I was the day it was delivered. It was an excellent purchase and I’m looking forward to many years of using my 33R. Well done JD! Thank you to Land Pro Equipment in Clymer NY for helping me with my purchase.

I'm Impressed

I have had the 3033r with loader for a year and a half. Bought it for snow removal, but put post hole digger with 12 inch auger and put extention on it for 4 ft hole. struggled a bit on wet clay but did the job. handles box blade, bucket and snow pusher no problem. I use it for so many jobs that would not be without it. no it"s not a 6 series tractor. But for it"s size with front wheel assist it does more than a older 2030 could do.

3rd. Jd sub compact always in the shop. 2 wks at a time or more.

1026R,2032R,3033R. Electrical problems2032. Hyd. Problems 3033 from day one can’t wait to get rid of it. You have to trade before the warranty is up. Cause you don want to pay shop fees. I wanted some thing dependable. They sure didn’t work for me.

The best tractor I have ever had.

I Thought my '04 John Deere 4310 was the best tractor ever until I got the new John Deere 3033R. It's a perfect size for my property. The 72 inch drive over mid Mount mower is simply the Best. I can remove the mower deck in one minute and I can install it in about the same amount of time. All the controls are in the right places. I happen to like the diesel particulate filter and having it re-gen once in awhile. I can start it up in my garage with no diesel smell and no smoke. The loader comes on or off in 1 minute.Like I said it's a great tractor I don't think there's a better 33 horsepower tractor out there other than the John Deere 3033R.

Pros:

  • ease-of-use and a great tractor

This is a great MACHINE all around

This tractor is absolutely THE best tractor in its class, by far. This isn't my first tractor but it is my first brand new one, so I shopped around, and around. I took every opportunity I could get to test out every machine once I made my mind up to get a new one. I used similar sized competitors my friends and family owns to get the feel of which brand and size I wanted (kioti, kabota, and a compact Massey too). The design john deere has with its compact (mainly not having belly mounted hydraulic and fuel tanks) is superior to any other manufacturers, the handling is very noticeable as well as the power. Its a very comfortable unit too. I have owned this tractor since October of 2018 and as of today, I am still very pleased with my purchase and the performance of my machine. My brother in law has sold his compact Massey and has made plans to replace it with a 3033R after working on the club with me this season. Don't thank me john deere, this machine sells itself.

More than you need.

I have owned my 3033R for 4 years. It has 550 hrs on it now. I use it to mow my lawn and what an excellent job it does for this size of tractor. The 60 inch deck discharges the grass very well and the turning radius is extremely helpful. The loader (H160) is more than enough to get the job done. Both the loader and deck are very easy to put on and take off. My only complaint is that I wish it had a wider wheel base.

Pros:

  • easy to do maintenance
  • great turning radius

Cons:
  • wish it was wider

Great Tractor

No issues. Wished it was bigger. (Don't we all) Like the 43-!6.00-20 rear R4's I have 3rd function on 320R Loader with 4th and 5th to run Top and Tilt. I also added Power Beyond to run Splitter. Excellent Hydraulic pressure, I have tires loaded with RimGuard and loader will still lift rear tires. Plenty of HP for my application. Absolutely Love It!

Pros:

  • turns on a dime.

Cons:
  • hydraulic is noisier than i would like.

Love my tractor

Bought this tractor in Nov 16. I got the cab as I mow 5+ acres, out of my 10 acres, in the summer and move snow in the winter. The air conditioning is great. Having the cab precludes me from blowing mud out of my nose after mowing. In the winter, the heated cab keeps my fingers warm, (I actually have to turn down the heat after working it for a while). I mow on a hill, and the power is adequate. ( I thought about going to the 3039R, but I wasn't keen on a turbo). Because I keep the RPMs up while mowing, I have yet had to experience a Re-gen. Haven't had any mechanical problems other than chaff clogging the radiator. I have the 72"MM. Got it as my prior tractor required me to wrestle the deck under the tractor while trying to hook up the mid PTO with the bucket holding the tractor off the ground. In my older age, I wanted something safer. If there was one thing I wish the tractor had, it would be a wider wheel base for working on hills. All in all very happy with the tractor

Pros:

  • comfort ergonomics power.

Cons:
  • narrow wheelbase.

Tractor and Loader is great, Backhoe has a problem

The tractor and loader works well just got done with spread 16 -14 yard loads of topsoil and both worked well along with box blade. The backhoe is the problem though, I have owned two other (Kubota) tractors with backhoes and they are smooth. The operation of the John Deere 375A backhoe bounces all around with minimal touch to controls. I broke a window trying to remove dense hedge of rose bushes because of the bouncing around. Have had to the dealer twice his tech said it operates ok. I disagree but with no other dealer in Alaska, I am the one stuck with the problem. I hope the backhoe product engineer reads this note! Not happy with backhoe!

Pros:

  • tractor regenerates the reason i switch fr kubot
  • loader has great lift capacity
  • backhoe on and off is great

Cons:
  • backhoe operation is terrible

This is a very good tractor.

We have the 3033R cab. No complaints. No issues. I would highly recommend.

Pros:

  • good size for tight spots
  • fit and finish

Cons:
  • a little “tippy”. get a spacer kit.
