MSRP, base build
Ten more horsepower than the 3025D from the same 1.6 L Yanmar block and the same 8F/8R shuttle gearbox, with 30.4 hp reaching the PTO - enough for a 6 ft rotary cutter. Crossing 25 hp brings a diesel particulate filter the 3025D avoids.
1.18 PTO hp per $1,000 of list price

On the price: The maker's own published starting figure for the base build. A dealer adds a loader, a deck and freight on top.
Lift figures are the maker's and are quoted at whichever point the maker chose; the about page explains why two loaders with the same number do not lift the same pallet.

John Deere
Deere's volume compact and the machine most cross-shopped against a Kubota L2502: 31.2 hp, two-range hydrostatic, and a 300E loader, at 2,222 lb. The E line trades the 3R's cab, flow and hitch for a price several thousand lower.

John Deere
Deere's cheapest full-frame compact, and deliberately stripped to get there: basic dash, no mid-PTO, no premium hydraulics. The 1,356 lb three-point and 2,354 lb frame are what separate it from a 2-Series, which it undercuts while out-lifting.

Turbocharging is what separates this from the 3032E below it: a 1.568 L Yanmar 3TNV86CT making 36.7 hp and 30 at the PTO, in a chassis 446 lb heavier. Hitch, hydraulics and loader are unchanged from the rest of the E line.
