The John Deere 3020 has a 29-gallon fuel capacity, an 8-gallon capacity syncro-range hydraulic system and an 11-gallon capacity power shift hydraulic system. The tractor has a rear optional differential lock, power-assist steering, differential hydraulic wet disc brakes and an open operator station cab.
