Before you buy
- John Deere 2038R is compact class — most property rear blade sheets target Category I; verify Limited Cat I or sub-compact callouts separately.
- Verified hitch: Category I. Implements must name that class explicitly — adapters do not add lift.
- Verified PTO rating: 30.4 PTO HP. Size PTO implements from this number — not from engine HP.
- Catalog rear lift: 1,356 lb @ 24″. Heavier rear blade tools need headroom over shipping weight (we screen with ~20% margin).
- 8 curated class(es) clear on paper — still confirm serial-year OEM sheets and ballast.
- Next step: open the Fit checker with John Deere 2038R and a specific rear blade model, or read the fit guide for this implement type.
