John Deere’s production of the small 50-series models continued until the end of 1994, when the 3100 (55 hp), 3200 (65 hp), 3300 (75 hp) and 3400 (85 hp)—all based on the Renault Céres range—were introduced. The tractors carried John Deere paint and engines. However, aside from the colors, the styling under John Deere did not turn out to be particularly successful. On the German market, the John Deeres were better equipped than the equivalent Renaults.

On the tractors sold in Sweden there was, for example, a creeper gearbox and a two-way hydraulic valve block only on the X models, and the lifting capacity was lower than on the German versions. All 3000-series tractors featured draft sensing on the lower links and four-wheel drive that engaged when braking. The front wheels could swivel through an angle of 55 degrees.

The cab looked quite basic, but John Deere quoted a noise level of 78 dB in the X models, whereas Renault promised as little as 73 dB. The 30 km/h version offered 9 forward and 9 reverse gears (18+18 with the creeper), and the 40 km/h version came with 10+10 or, with the creeper, 20+20. The X models also featured a digital dashboard and a hydraulic power take-off coupling.

From 1996 onwards, cost-saving versions designated SE and XSE were also offered on certain markets.
