Price Paid : $21,000.00
Years of Use : 1-year
Implements : 300 Loader
Purchased From : Mid-Gulf - Mobile, AL
Strengths
Weaknesses Not enough power or body weight to lift a full bucket. Unstable with a loaded bucket. Smokes after 50 hrs.
PTO and 3-point hitch are not working after 80 hrs. Hydrostatic drive is jerky and noisy. Basically, an oversized, over-priced yard tractor.
Overall Dealer doesn't want to fix anything under warrantee. JD quality and C/S is a joke. This machine is "made in China" and just the next step up from farming with an oxen. If you like green and yellow, buy a Kubota and have it painted.

Price Paid : $12,000.00
Years of Use : 30-Days
Implements : 5' Land Pride mover, Front End Loader with tooth bar, 5' Modern Box Blade, and a JD canopy
Purchased From : individual in Alvin, Texas
Strengths The hydrostatic transmission. Only 2 range, but what a deal it is.
Weaknesses I'm not sure, but it is probably week on hydraulics. But at the price, I can't complain. It is easy to use. The controls are all conveniently placed and usable.
Overall I love my JD 3203. Bought it used with 47 hours. I now have about 70 hours on it. Does all I ask or require and seems to be strong and reliable. It had Box Blade and FEL when I bought it. Added the other stuff. Price shown is total for all.

Years of Use : 1-year
Implements : 6'-box blade,6'finish mower,5'brush hog 6'york rake, 2000lb fork lift,73"hd bucket,8' yard roller
Purchased From : lake land john deere ( NY)
Strengths tractor has alot of power for 32hp, love the hst trans has alot more stabilty and traction with rear tires loaded up with the new gel, adds 300lb per wheel.
low gear is perfect, but high gear is crazy fast.
we use this tractor at our marina for every thing from pulling boats to unloading trucks with fork lift attachment, to mowing w/ 6' finish mower.
Weaknesses could use more lifting power on loader.
exaust is to noisey, and fumes the driver to death.
hood is to cheap, flops around.
pto cover is a pain to hook up pto shaft in your way
Overall over all this tractor does every thing we ask it to do and more.
this tractor gets used every day, and i certainly would buy one again.

Price Paid : $24,550.00
Years of Use : 180-Days
Implements : 300CX loader, Woods BH70 Hoe
Purchased From : West Central Equipment New Alexandria Pa
Strengths Strong Yanmar engine, lots of power for the size, very comfortable to operate! Very user friendly, controls are right at hand. Great fuel economy! Hydro tranny is very smooth and strong.
Weaknesses Could use better hydraulic flow and pressure from factory, (pressure relieve valve can be adjusted for more power on loader). Loader metal castings and tires made in china! Flimsy Hood sides. Could use more Green paint, too much black.
Overall A great machine overall, would definitly recommend for someone who is looking for an economy tractor with a hydrostatic transmission. This is exactly what I was looking for in a compact tractor, a plain, strong, reliable machine without all the new fancy electronics.

Strengths tractor looks good ,power steering seems strong
Weaknesses no glow plugs,It has some sort of air heater system to aid in cold starts does not seem to help .The hydro stat will snap your neck .I say it needs more power motor is loud I mean loud .It lacks 3 speed hydo stat , run it for an hour and you will see it needs the 3speed hydro.I bought this tractor to blow snow low is dead slow high is crazy fast ,thinking twice about spending 1500 on a blower
Overall This 3203 tractor is more garden trator than farm trator .My advise spend your money on somthing bigger 40hp with a 3 speed hydro
