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*. 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.

 

NOTE: *As compared to engines not using CRS technology.

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.

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 will start with one or both foot pedals depressed, but it will not move until both pedals first come to neutral
  • The tractor will come to a stop if the operator leaves the seat but the engine will not shut off unless the power take-off (PTO) is also running
Key John Deere advantage
Twin Touch foot controlsTwin 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™ LoadMatch™, MotionMatch™ eThrottle™ and automotive style cruise control pulls the maximum efficiency out of the eHydro transmission tractors.  All of these features are standard on the 3R models, and deliver an easier and more comfortable user experience.

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 is able to 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 indicatorLoadMatch 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 tractors 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
 
The 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.

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 will improve 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.

One of the greatest operator concerns involves difficulty in attaching tractor implements. John Deere has addressed this issue with the iMatch Quick-Hitch.

The iMatch Quick-Hitch provides easy hookup and a guaranteed fit for all Category 1 implements that are designed to meet the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) Category 1 Standard S278.6 for quick-attach hitches.

  • All implements require a set of bushings in order for the attachment to fit and work properly with the iMatch Quick-Hitch. One set of bushings comes with the iMatch Quick-Hitch.

NOTE: The bushing set can be seen in the picture above. These bushings allow the hooks on the iMatch and the pins on the implement to fit together properly. All other implements (box blades, tillers, rear blades, etc.) will require a set of bushings to enlarge the pin to fit with the iMatch hooks. Bushings of different lengths can be found in the parts system or through a bushing supplier (see dimensions below).

  • Upper bushing
    • Inside diameter: 1.93-1.95 cm (0.76-0.77 in.)
    • Outside diameter: 3.15-3.18 cm (1.24-1.25 in.)
  • Lower bushings
    • Inside diameter: 2.24-2.26 cm (0.88 to 0.89 in.)
    • Outside diameter: 3.63-3.66 cm (1.43 to 1.44 in.)

Regular service and maintenance are essential to the performance, productivity, and longevity of the tractor.

 

  • Easy access to most regular service points minimizes service time.
  • Tractors are equipped with extensive onboard self-diagnostic capabilities and are fully compatible with the John Deere-exclusive Service ADVISOR™ system.
  • Daily service requirements are minimal and simple to accomplish. Most service interval requirements can be performed with a basic understanding of procedures and common tools.

The tractor is base equipped with a dual mid-selective control valve (DSCV).

  • Two sets of right-hand-side-mounted couplers allow raising/lowering boom and curling/dumping bucket
  • Large, 0.9-cm (3/8-in.) diameter quick-couplers are used for maximum oil flow to implements
  • Hydraulic valves have excellent featherability for smooth operation of equipment
  • Couplers are color-coded for correct hookup 

Optional rear hydraulic couplers - SCVs
 
Up to five additional SCVs can be added:

  • Single rear electrohydraulic (EH) SCV (EH third SCV)

Power beyond kit

  • The power beyond kit contains rear-mounted couplers and hoses to access pressurized oil at the rear of the tractor; the kit will be used for equipment such as a backhoe or log splitter
  • Couplers are 1.3-cm (1/2-in.) diameter for maximum oil flow to implements

  • Single control lever (A) makes operation of loader or other implement fast and simple
  • SCV safety lock lever (B) allows the operator to control the type of SCV lever movement needed for a particular operation or situation
  • The SCV safety lock lever in the top position, indicated by the unlocked lock, allows operation of the SCV lever in all directions; operation of the SCV is totally unlocked
  • The regeneration (REGEN) position on the bucket spool is available only with the SCV safety lock lever in the top position. As the lever is moved to the right (bucket dump) a slight bump can be felt mid-travel. Continued movement of lever past this bump activates REGEN position on spool.
  • Loader operation may benefit from the use of the REGEN function. Regenerative hydraulics allow for faster bucket cycle times
    • The REGEN function allows heavily loaded loader buckets to dump at a faster rate; however, lightly-loaded buckets do not benefit from this function and should be operated in the middle position
  • Moving the SCV safety lock lever to the middle position prohibits the engagement of the REGEN function of the SCV; this position is recommended for all attachments except for the front loader with light loads
  • Moving the SCV safety lock lever to the bottom position will prohibit SCV lever movement in all directions, thus totally locking operation of the SCV

  • Allows the hydraulic oil to be diverted to either the front or rear couplers, as desired

Power beyond kit

  • The power beyond kit contains rear-mounted couplers and hoses to access pressurized oil at the rear of the tractor; the kit will be used for equipment such as a backhoe or log splitter
  • Couplers are 1.3-cm (1/2-in.) diameter for maximum oil flow to implements
SCV controls
Single control lever/selective control leverSingle control lever/selective control lever
SCV safety lock leverSCV safety lock lever
  • Single control lever (A) makes operation of loader or other implement fast and simple
  • SCV safety lock lever (B) allows the operator to control the type of SCV lever movement needed for a particular operation or situation
  • The SCV safety lock lever in the top position, indicated by the unlocked lock, allows operation of the SCV lever in all directions; operation of the SCV is totally unlocked
  • The regeneration (REGEN) position on the bucket spool is available only with the SCV safety lock lever in the top position. As the lever is moved to the right (bucket dump) a slight bump can be felt mid-travel. Continued movement of lever past this bump activates REGEN position on spool.
  • Loader operation may benefit from the use of the REGEN function. Regenerative hydraulics allow for faster bucket cycle times
    • The REGEN function allows heavily loaded loader buckets to dump at a faster rate; however, lightly-loaded buckets do not benefit from this function and should be operated in the middle position
  • Moving the SCV safety lock lever to the middle position prohibits the engagement of the REGEN function of the SCV; this position is recommended for all attachments except for the front loader with light loads
  • Moving the SCV safety lock lever to the bottom position will prohibit SCV lever movement in all directions, thus totally locking operation of the SCV

One of the greatest operator concerns involves difficulty in attaching tractor implements. John Deere has addressed this issue with the iMatch Quick-Hitch: 

  • All implements require a set of bushings in order for the attachment to fit and work properly with the iMatch Quick-Hitch. One set of bushings comes with the iMatch Quick-Hitch.

 

NOTE: All implements (box blades, tillers, rear blades, landscape rakes, etc.) require a set of bushings to enlarge the pin to fit with the iMatch hooks. Bushings of different lengths can be found in the parts system or through a bushing supplier.

One of the greatest customer concerns involves difficulty in attaching tractor implements. John Deere has addressed this issue with the iMatch Quick-Hitch.

 

The iMatch Quick-Hitch provides easy hookup and a guaranteed fit for all Category 1 implements that are designed to meet the ASAE Category 1 Standard S278.6 for quick-attach hitches.

  • All implements require a set of bushings in order for the attachment to fit and work properly with the iMatch Quick-Hitch. One set of bushings comes with the iMatch Quick-Hitch.

 

NOTE: In the picture above, you see the bushing set. These bushings allow the hooks on the iMatch and the pins on the implement to fit together properly. All other implements (box blades, tillers, rear blades, etc.) will require a set of bushings to enlarge the pin to fit with the iMatch hooks. Bushings of different lengths can be found in the parts system or through a bushing supplier (see dimensions below).

  • Upper bushing
    • Inside diameter: 0.76-0.77 in.
    • Outside diameter: 1.24-1.25 in.

Non-Trivial Quality Issues

2/5

I purchased a 2018, 3046R cabbed tractor because of John Deere's reputation for quality. I am extremely saddened to say that I have been disappointed in this regard. Upon initial delivery of the tractor, the cruise control didn't work, switches kept falling out of the control panel, and one of the fasteners holding the console in place didn't have a tapped hole. The fastener, which was not self-tapping, was forced into an untapped hole. This stripped the threads off the fastener and left it loose in the panel. In addition, the exhaust filter cleaning function failed after the first cleaning. The tractor would not enter into auto cleaning nor would it allow for a parked cleaning. Finally, to make matters worse, when I went to lubricate the front axle trunnion I found it impossible to access the rear grease fitting, which was covered up by the front of the oil pan. John Deere is aware of this design flaw but has not corrected it. In order to access the grease fitting, John Deere's recommended solution is to machine or grind an access channel into the trunnion casting. This is not a trivial fix and it is absolutely unacceptable on a new tractor. The only other way to lubricate the rear grease fitting is to drop the front axle. Based upon this design flaw and the other quality issues I have experienced over the past several months, I would not recommend the purchase of this tractor.

Pros

  • good power for its size

Cons

  • poor quality

Nothing runs like a Deere

5/5

I traded my 3320 for a slightly used [214 hours]3046r cab and although my 3320 power reverser was a great tractor, I absolutely love the 3046 with hydro transmission and all the bell and whistles plus the a/c. This is my 3rd Deere, 790 had for 12 years and sold for more than I gave for it, the 3320 was bought at farm auction and I kept it for about a year before swapping for the 3046. Ps I got $1000 more for the 3320 than I purchased it for on the trade.
