John Deere 3039R Compact Utility Tractor (3R Series) — 38.2 HP Turbo Yanmar Diesel, 3‑Range eHydro or PowrReverser, LoadMatch + SpeedMatch, ComfortGard Cab Ready

The John Deere 3039R is a premium 3R Series compact utility tractor built for high‑productivity work across properties, farms, and job sites—ideal for loader tasks, mowing, rotary cutting, tilling, and snow work.​
A turbocharged Yanmar 3‑cylinder diesel engine delivers 38.2 gross horsepower at 2600 rpm, providing strong torque response under load while meeting Final Tier 4 emissions requirements.​

For smooth, efficient control in loader and mower applications, the 3039R platform supports a three‑range electronic hydrostatic (eHydro) transmission with Twin Touch foot controls for intuitive direction and speed changes.​
The eHydro system integrates productivity features such as SpeedMatch cruise control, LoadMatch for maintaining performance under load, MotionMatch for adjustable pedal response, and eThrottle to link engine speed to pedal position for quieter operation and improved fuel use.​

For operators who prefer a geared solution with fast shuttle work, a PowrReverser transmission option is also described for the 3039R, enabling clutchless forward‑to‑reverse shuttle shifting via a dedicated lever.​
Cab compatibility is a major advantage of the 3R platform, with ComfortGard cab configurations designed for visibility and climate control so work can continue comfortably in heat, cold, rain, and snow.​

Emissions management is handled through an after‑treatment system using a diesel oxidation catalyst and diesel particulate filter (DOC/DPF), with automatic regeneration strategies (passive and active) designed to keep the tractor operating while maintaining soot levels, plus parked regeneration when needed.​
