Since my last report (3025e Five Year Review) not much has changed. The 3025E continues to meet expectations, and is a great tractor. I added a 1965 John Deer 3025 ag tractor after we expanded the farm by 65 acres, but the 3025E is my go-to tractor for most projects--from food plot work, post-hole digging and moving firewood.

I have noticed a slight delay in PTO engagement at times, which happens only when the PTO has been not been used for a while. Not sure what is happening, but it has never failed to engage after 20-30 seconds. After the first delay, it works fine.

While the tractor only has 200 hours, I don't let it idle much. The PTO hours are about 90, a combination of rotary cutter, tiller and PHD.

20 to 30 seconds is a long delay for PTO startup. I might get that checked out if it were mine. Mine has a short delay when it's been a while since it ran but nowhere near 20 seconds.
