A Category II 3-point hitch provided ample lifting capacity. This tractor was commonly used for row crop cultivation, hay baling, livestock feeding, and light tillage. What distinguished the 3020 from other models in the John Deere lineup of the era was its improved hydraulics, powerful engine and excellent gear selection.
