i bought a jd 3038e back in december. i got an mx5 brush cutter with it and so far i am satisfied totally. i did add hydraulic top and tilt a few weeks ago. if any of you have been considering top and tilt, do it! it makes everything so much easier. especially when bush hogging. just set the height with the 3pt hitch and then put the top link in float mode. the cutter follows the terrain and doesn't do all of that bouncing and banging. the wheel never leaves the ground.
