Top 5 Implements for Your John Deere Compact Tractor

Overall

Happy spring! Papé Machinery Agriculture & Turf is kicking off the season with some tips and tricks from our Toolkit Experts. In this edition of the Papé Machinery Agriculture & Turf blog, let’s take a look at the top 5 implements for your John Deere compact tractor.

Top 5 Implements for Your Compact Tractor

John Deere’s compact tractors are highly versatile pieces of equipment (and, not to mention, some of our most popular!). With the help of attachments and implements, customers can customize their compact tractors for specific tasks, making their work more efficient and comfortable (and often, more fun!). Save yourself time, money, and a backache with these top attachments for your John Deere tractor.

#1 Rotary Cutters

Rotary cutters can be equipped with chain guards, rubber guards, slip clutches, shear bolts, and more. Here at Papé Machinery Agriculture & Turf, we  sell all kinds of different types of rotary cutters. Our rotary cutters chop up anywhere from 2-4 inches of material and are a great utilitarian tool. Almost every tractor package goes out the door with rotary cutters, and they are exceptional for keeping the grass down before fire season. 

#2 Loader

If these implements were in order of most important, the loader would take first place. Almost every compact tractor we sell has a loader on it, and it is essential for moving material, such as gravel or dirt. Loaders can also be used to backfill a driveway and get rid of potholes, and can help you move materials such as snow, gravel, and dirt. Yes, a loader attachment can be used in lieu of a snow blade or plow, helping you to get out of any jam. Thankfully, too, all John Deere equipment and implements have significant hydraulic capabilities, meaning they can really handle any load with ease and stability. 

#3 Backhoe

A backhoe may not be on everyone’s top 5 list, but if you’re looking to reduce backache and just want to make your everyday tasks more fun, a backhoe is a perfect choice. If you’ve got stumps to dig out or any trenching to do, this is a must-have.

#4 Pallet Forks

Pallet forks are the jack of all trades. You can use pallet forks for brush clearing, such as when you’re going through blackberry bushes or a pile of vines. Pallet forks can also be used for managing and optimizing your space, as you can use them to help stack other implements. They’re great, too, for home deliveries; with a pallet fork, you can just pull anything you’ve received off the truck with ease. John Deere offers a very wide variety of pallet forks with different lift capacities and weights, so ask one of our equipment specialists about which series works best for your needs. 

#5 Box Scraper or Box Blades

If you’re looking for an implement with a lot of cost savings, a box scraper or box blade is your go-to. This implement can do anything from helping you maintain a gravel driveway to filling a hole after excavation. John Deere box blades are also iMatch compatible, making this implement very easy to attach.
