Trying to decide between a 2038R or 3039R. Both will have a backhoe. I'll be using it to clear some trees and maintaining 10 plus acres. There's a price differences of $7K. I can save some $$ and buy other implements. Will the 2038R do everything the 3039R? Let me know what ya think....

I have the 2038R. Mines primary purpose is mowing but I also use it for some ground engaging equipment. I thought it would be a little big for general mowing but I am finding out it is not. I still would not have went with the three series just because of the extra weight for mowing lawn. However if it's primary purpose is for ground engaging equipment I would seriously consider a three series with the cast-iron parts instead of aluminum parts. The engine definitely has the power to handle it. I have turf tires and have stopped the machine and spun all four tires doing different things. When I say spin the tires I mean it will do it from just off idle with 400 pounds on the front and roughly 500 hanging underneath as I had the deck on. The closest I have come to making the engine work is the 665 Rototiller, other than that it never works. I keep kicking around the idea of some ag tires but figure I can use the 3020. I really would like to see what it can do if I could but the power down to the ground.
I think all the answers above are excellent ones. Of course the one series would also get the job done and you could justify a four series. It's that great balance of pain in the pocketbook versus pain or speed doing a job.
