Dozens of compatible attachments for each John Deere compact tractor make for efficiency on any task, in any season. Here’s a quick breakdown of how you can put your tractor to work, no matter the weather.
In spring, we’re typically looking toward a season of growth. That means tilling, aerating, and planting. With easily-attachable items like rotary tillers, seeders, and core aerators, your compact tractor is ready for all things soil prep.
In summer, we know the chores can stack up–mowing, land clearance, material hauling, and much more. Mid-mount mower decks, rotary cutters, and front loaders are some of the most versatile tools you’ll find for working through that summer task list.
Leaf collection, soil prep, harvesting. Fall brings a wide variety of necessary tasks. Consider a rear box blade or box scraper to help prep your driveway before winter, and pallet forks to help manage harvested crops.
Midwestern winters can be harsh. With the right tools in your arsenal, you won’t have any trouble managing the snowfall. Browse snowblowers, plows, and rear blades for efficient snow removal. Also consider a closed, heated cab for boosted comfort in the freezing cold.
Absolutely. With proper snow removal attachments–like snowblowers or blades–your compact tractor can easily clear driveways, roads, paths, and more.
This depends on your property and your specific needs. Here’s a quick look at some of the most commonly used attachments for year-round work.
A heated cab is not required for winter work, though it can make long hours in cold temperatures much more manageable. If your property requires regular hours outdoors through the winter, you’ll definitely be thanking yourself for the heated cab.
John Deere’s compact tractors are great for small- to medium-sized farms but can not replace large agricultural equipment for tasks like heavy plowing and harvesting. With the right attachments, your compact tractor can be a perfect companion for a smaller farm, or a daily driver on a larger-scale farm.
