John Deere 3025E, 3032E & 3038E Hardtop Cab 11980

Add all-weather comfort to your older-style John Deere 3025E, 3032E, or 3038E compact tractor with Original Tractor Cab Hardtop Cab 11980.

Rain, snow, sleet, cold wind, and wet weather can make tractor work hard. Therefore, Cab 11980 surrounds the operator with a hard roof and clear panels to help reduce direct exposure to bad weather.

Better yet, installation does not require holes to be drilled in your tractor. The cab uses existing mounting points, so you can add weather protection without drilling into the machine. Original Tractor Cab estimates installation at about three to four hours.

This cab is made in the USA. In addition, Original Tractor Cab backs it with a one-year warranty.

Important fit note: Cab 11980 does not fit newer-style John Deere 3025E, 3032E, or 3038E tractors with the fuel filler behind the seat. For that tractor design, see the John Deere 3025E, 3032E and 3038E Cab 40410.

Original Tractor Cab 11980 for John Deere 3E Tractors

A John Deere 3E compact tractor can work through much of the year.

However, an open operator station leaves you exposed to the weather.

Cab 11980 helps change that.

The enclosure adds an ABS hardtop above the operator. Clear panels surround much of the operator area. Meanwhile, hinged doors make it easy to enter and leave the tractor.

The result is a simple aftermarket John Deere tractor cab made for work in changing weather.

Original Tractor Cab designed Cab 11980 for compatible older-style John Deere 3025E, 3032E, and 3038E compact utility tractors. Therefore, fit is much more specific than a universal tractor enclosure.

Check Your Fuel Filler Before You Order

Checking fit is very important.

Look at the fuel filler on your tractor before you buy Cab 11980.

If your John Deere 3025E, 3032E, or 3038E has the newer fuel filler behind the seat, Cab 11980 will not fit. Original Tractor Cab directs that tractor design to Cab 40410.

This simple check can help prevent an incorrect order.

When you have an older-style tractor that matches the Cab 11980 application, you can then check the rest of the cab details before you buy.

Hardtop Weather Protection for Your John Deere Tractor

Cold wind can make a short tractor job feel much longer.

Rain can make the operator wet. Likewise, blowing snow can make winter work hard.

Cab 11980 adds a barrier around the operator area. As a result, it can help reduce direct exposure to rain, snow, sleet, and cold wind.

The ABS hardtop gives you solid overhead coverage. Meanwhile, the clear windows help maintain visibility around the tractor.

This is especially useful when you use your John Deere 3025E, 3032E, or 3038E for winter work.

ABS Hardtop Cab Roof

Cab 11980 uses a hard ABS plastic top.

The roof provides overhead weather coverage and gives the cab its hardtop design.

Unlike a fully soft enclosure, the solid top stays in place as the main upper structure of the cab.

During warmer weather, you can remove the doors. Therefore, the hardtop can also serve as an overhead sunshade.

That feature can extend the useful season of the cab.

Clear Lexan Windows for Good Visibility

A tractor cab should help block weather without blocking your view.

For that reason, Cab 11980 uses clear, shatter-resistant Lexan plastic in the windshield, doors, and rear curtain.

This gives the operator a wide view around the tractor.

Clear forward vision is important when you use a loader, snow equipment, mower, or other attachment. Side and rear views matter as well.

Therefore, the clear cab panels help you see the work area while gaining more protection from the weather.

Forward-Sloped Windshield

The windshield has a forward slope.

Original Tractor Cab uses this design to help reduce glare and contact with falling rain and snow.

The standard windshield is clear Lexan.

However, owners who want a glass windshield can upgrade the cab.

Original Tractor Cab offers an optional safety-glass windshield for Cab 11980.

Hinged Doors Make Entry Easy

Both weather protection and easy access matter.

Cab 11980 uses hinged doors with latches. Therefore, you can enter and leave the tractor without removing a cab panel each time.

The doors also help close the sides of the operator area during bad weather.

When warm weather arrives, you can remove them.

As a result, the same cab can provide a more open operator area during summer. The hard roof can then work as an overhead sunshade.

No Holes to Drill

Installing an aftermarket tractor cab should not require needless changes to your machine.

Cab 11980 mounts by using existing holes on the compatible tractor. Therefore, Original Tractor Cab does not require you to drill mounting holes for the cab.

Installation takes about three to four hours under normal conditions.

Removal takes about 45 minutes.

Always read the full instructions before you start.

For current Original Tractor Cab instructions, visit the Original Tractor Cab installation manuals page. The manual index identifies part 11980 as the John Deere 3E Series cab.

Cab Height and Overhead Clearance

Always check height before driving a cab-equipped tractor into a garage, shed, trailer, or other low area.

Current Shopify information lists Cab 11980 at about 84 inches from the ground to the top when installed, depending on tire size. An older Original Cab listing states the cab was designed around a 78-inch height and recommends an opening of at least 80 inches.

Because those published figures differ, measure your actual tractor after installation rather than relying on a catalog figure for clearance.

Tire size, tractor setup, and other factors can affect final height.

John Deere 3025E, 3032E and 3038E Tractor Specifications

John Deere designed the 3E Series as an economical compact utility tractor line.

The 3025E, 3032E, and 3038E combine compact size with four-wheel drive, power steering, hydrostatic drive, and a rear PTO.

That makes these tractors useful for property care, mowing, loader work, landscaping, farm chores, snow work, and many other jobs.

John Deere describes the 3E operator station as wide and comfortable. The tractors also use Twin Touch pedals for easy forward and reverse control.

John Deere 3025E Engine and Power

The John Deere 3025E uses a three-cylinder diesel engine.

John Deere currently lists rated engine power at 24 horsepower under SAE J1995 and engine displacement at 100 cubic inches. The tractor uses four-wheel drive.

That compact size and useful power make the 3025E a good match for many home, farm, and property jobs.

For current factory details, visit the official John Deere 3025E compact tractor page.

John Deere 3032E Engine and Power

The 3032E adds more engine power while keeping the simple 3E platform.

John Deere's published specifications list the 3032E at 31.1 engine horsepower and 25 PTO horsepower. It uses a 1.642-liter diesel engine and a two-range hydrostatic transmission.

Four-wheel drive comes standard.

In addition, the 3032E uses hydrostatic power steering and an independent 540-rpm rear PTO.

These features help make the tractor useful for many attachments and property-care jobs.

John Deere 3038E Engine and Power

The 3038E provides the most engine power of these three 3E models.

John Deere lists rated engine power at 37.2 horsepower and PTO power at 30 horsepower in its published 3038E specifications.

The tractor uses a turbocharged diesel engine.

Like the other 3E tractors, it has hydrostatic drive, four-wheel drive, power steering, and a 540-rpm rear PTO.

That makes the 3038E useful when the job calls for more power.

For more factory information about the family, see John Deere's official 3 Series compact utility tractor information.

John Deere 3E Hydrostatic Transmission

The 3E tractors use a hydrostatic transmission.

That is useful for jobs that call for many speed and direction changes.

For example, loader work may require the operator to move forward and backward many times. Snow work can require the same type of movement.

John Deere's Twin Touch pedal system uses separate forward and reverse pedals. Therefore, the operator can change direction without using a conventional gear shift each time.

Cab 11980 surrounds that operator area while leaving the tractor controls available for normal use.

Four-Wheel Drive and Power Steering

John Deere equips the 3E tractors with four-wheel drive.

That can help provide traction when the surface is loose, wet, snowy, or uneven.

Power steering also makes the tractor easier to guide during jobs that require frequent turns.

These features help explain why 3E tractors see use in many seasons.

However, year-round use also means the operator may face rain, cold wind, sleet, and snow.

That is where an aftermarket enclosure can add value.

3E Fuel and Hydraulic Capacity

John Deere lists an approximate fuel capacity of 7.5 gallons for the 3025E, 3032E, and 3038E.

The transmission and hydraulic system capacity is about 5.49 gallons.

Those tractors can spend a good part of the day at work.

Therefore, operator weather coverage can become useful when a job lasts for hours rather than minutes.

A Useful Cab for Winter Tractor Work

Snow removal is one of the clearest reasons to add a tractor enclosure.

An open tractor can put the operator in cold air, falling snow, and blowing snow.

Cab 11980 adds clear panels around the operator and a hard roof overhead.

As a result, it can make winter tractor work more pleasant.

Original Tractor Cab has even demonstrated Cab 11980 on a John Deere 3038E during snow-plowing work. The company's video shows the enclosure in an actual winter application.

A cab does not turn an open-station tractor into an automotive cabin. Still, it can provide far more foul-weather coverage than an open operator station.

Optional Safety Glass Windshield

The standard Cab 11980 uses a Lexan windshield.

However, Original Tractor Cab offers an optional safety-glass windshield.

Glass can be useful when you want to add equipment that requires a glass mounting surface.

Always check accessory compatibility before you order.

You can browse other compatible and related products through the Original Tractor Cab John Deere hardtop cab collection.

Choosing Between Cab 11980 and Cab 40410

Do not choose between these cabs by tractor model alone.

Both cab numbers are associated with John Deere 3025E, 3032E, and 3038E tractors.

The tractor configuration is what matters.

Cab 11980 is the older-style application and does not fit the newer tractor with the fuel filler behind the seat.

Cab 40410 is designed for the later configuration. Original Tractor Cab describes 40410 for 2018-and-newer applications with the fuel tank in the rear and a folding ROPS.

Therefore, check your tractor before placing the order.

This fit information should also remain close to the Add to Cart button so shoppers see it before purchase.

Why Buy Cab 11980 Direct From Original Tractor Cab?

Buying direct puts you closer to the company that makes the cab.

That can be useful when you have a fit question.

It also gives you direct access to current installation information, product details, replacement parts, and related accessories.

Original Tractor Cab offers a broad line of aftermarket products for John Deere equipment. You can browse the Original Tractor Cab John Deere collection to find other cabs, sunshades, screen door kits, and related products.

Most of all, you are buying from an American company whose history reaches back to 1939.

The History of Original Tractor Cab Company

Original Tractor Cab Co., Inc. company history traces the business to 1939.

At that time, farmer Stanley Williams saw a problem.

People working on tractors needed better protection from the weather.

So, Stanley built a solution.

He designed the first prototype that would become the basis for Original Tractor Cab. Other farmers soon saw the value of the idea. As a result, demand began to grow.

Born From a Need on the Farm

The Original Tractor Cab story started with a real farm need.

Stanley Williams knew what it was like to work outdoors.

Rain, wind, cold, snow, and sun were part of the job.

Therefore, better operator coverage had clear value.

Other farmers wanted the same kind of help. In turn, the idea grew into a business.

American Manufacturing Since 1939

Original Tractor Cab continued to grow as outdoor equipment changed.

Tractors became more advanced. Mowers changed as well. New types of outdoor equipment came to market.

So, Original Tractor Cab developed products for new machines and new jobs.

Today, the company makes hardtop cabs, soft cab enclosures, tractor sunshades, mower sunshades, snow equipment cabs, and accessories.

Yet the basic idea remains simple.

We make practical products for people who work outdoors.

Cab 11980 carries that idea into the John Deere 3E compact tractor line.

Made in the USA

Original Tractor Cab lists Cab 11980 as made in the USA.

That American manufacturing story is an important part of the product.

Customers are not simply buying a generic enclosure.

They are buying an aftermarket cab from a company that has worked in this product category for generations.
