work great

tractor work for what I need. used to remove snow and fill in dirt works great

Best purchase I have made in a long time!

Great piece of equipment! The bush hog, box blade, and loader bucket sure make my life a whole lot easier in keeping up my small farm. I really don't know how I have gotten by without it.

Love it!

I love my 1023e. Wish I had bought one years ago. Mine has a front loader and a backhoe attached. The hours of back breaking labor this unit has saved me are innumerable. I have used it to dig trenches for drain tile, remove tree stumps, dig up berms, haul everything from mulch to stone, boulders and logs. It only has 30 hours on it so far, but they are 30 hours of hard work. I have had absolutely no problems with my tractor. All my neighbors are jealous.

Punches above its weight

The 1023E is nimble enough to get into tight places where a larger tractor would do too much damage to turf and ornamental plants or where a larger vehicle just won't fit. I saved several thousand dollars by digging up my own water pipe to locate a leak. It did a good job of clearing snow off a quarter mile of local road (several times) with the front end loader. I do not have the time and you do not have the space to list a fraction of the tasks done by this tractor. The ergonomics are excellent and I have received good advice and service from my local dealer.

Tough little tractor

when I bought my John Deere, the sales man told me "This little tractor has no idea how small it is". I would have to say he was correct, since purchasing, this tractor has pushed snow, carried and graded several tons of top soil, removed a deck and just keeps going, going and going. I never considered purchasing a different brand and I am glad. If I ever wear out this one I will certainly replace it with another Deere, because nothing runs like a Deere.....

Best little tractor

Like the ease of removing and making the deck back up.

Great little tractor

I bought my John Deere 1023e in the spring of 2021 for doing yard work and for snow removal. This is a good working little tractor. This is great for small to medium properties. Very easy to operate.

I purchased a Brush Hog with mine

The First time I used the brush hog, half of the retaining pins fell out. I replaced them and used safety wire to hold them in place.

Love it

My husband drives the tractor more then his truck...it's easy to drive and handle..he want a backhoe attachment soon..

Heavy duty for a small tractor.

I have had it 2 years. I mow 1-4 acres, spread gravel and sand. I installed a hook on the front bucket to pull fence post and carry all sorts of stuff. Great tractor, easy to operate. I had to add a baffle in the antifreeze overflow bottle made out of a short piece of 1 1/2 PVC pipe to stop the lid from leaking. Easy fix.

Why bother

Why should I bother. I submitted my review after my tractor with 44 hours overheated due to poor assembly from your point. I recieved an email saying my review was approved etc but surprise surprise it’s not posted. I’m buying kubota from here on out.

Good Tractor

This little tractor is tough and does a great job! I bought the front loader with this tractor and use it more than I thought I would, given that I probably should have bought the quick connect model. My only complaints would be the quick disconnect mower deck needs a little tweaking. This was one of the primary reasons I went with the 1023E and it's not as smooth as they claim, so I don't remove it very often. The other complaint I have is the hydraulic pump has a loud whine to it once the fluid gets hot. I've had it checked twice and both times everything came back normal. This tractor has lots of power and will do pretty much whatever you ask of it within reason. Overall I am pleased with the tractor and would purchase again. If you get the front loader, get the digging bar to attach to the bucket, very handy!

Great tractor

The tractor is great. I have had no issues with the quick connect H120 loader. Works great. The auto connect deck I have had some issues to get it to connect. It worked great the first year though. I am glad that I purchased from a good quality company. Overall, I am happy with my purchase.

Workhorse all year round

The tractor performed as expected and described by manufacturer. The only complain is one of the rollers in the belly mower does not appear to be properly welded. It partially detached on my first day of mowing, but quickly fixed by the dealer free of charge.

Very versatile machine

The 1023e is a well thought out machine. The ability to switch out implements by removing just a few pins is outstanding. The loader has an impressive capacity for something so small. I've used it for a little over 50 hours to do everything from mow with the 60D, move 10 yards of fill dirt and 20 yards of rock to make a pad for a portable building, tow a gang reel mower and re-contour a ditch. The only issues I've had are the loader hydraulic couplings leak when disconnected from the tractor even when stored high on the loader and pointed vertically. The front bracket on the mower has gotten caught on the loader frame a couple of times as I've backed off the mower.

Great Tractor

I wish I would have bought it sooner. As I get older I have found the need to take it easy on my back and this tractor has been the answer, it does it all. We have had two snow falls and I have a very long drive way and we are on a private road. I cleared the snow from both the driveway and the private road and the 1023E didn't even skip a beat no issue what so ever plenty of power. I have the front end loader and living in the woods I have to clean up fallen trees and this tractor has been a blessing as far as my back is concerned. John Deere made in America, I highly recommend it..

Best investment

The only thing I would change on the tractor is the deck height adjustment. The dial can be difficult to turn at times. Other than that the tractor is the perfect size for me. It's not to big of a mower and can still maneuver in tight spaces. It can clear snow with the loader and a rear blade, smooths my driveway, and hauls small square bales around. The tractor is perfect on a 10" post hole digger and we are still finding uses for it.

Excellent MAchine

This tractor maybe one of the smallest, but don't let it turn you away. I've hoisted pickup truck cabs and also 8ft pickup truck beds with no issue. Great hard working machine and will do pretty much anything I need around the house.

Great Tractor and great features

Great buy and great tractor. Easy to use attachments and take on and off . I use it from mowing the yard , cleaning out the chicken house with the front end loader, to push snow with front blade. Should have bought it a long time ago.

For the mechanically inclined

It can be tough getting the implements on and off. This is a very expensive tractor to operate. One of my quick disconnects is not so quick. Had the tractor in the shop several times and they are not cheap! On the plus side is the four wheel drive. As I mow on steep terrain I have never been stuck with this tractor.

Great Value

This tractor does everything I have needed it to do, from the brush mower , to the front loader. Cutting weeds down , snow removal and maintaining my private road. It's fuel efficient and powerful enough to handle some of the heavier jobs. Very maneuverable to get into the Horse stalls and places my large tractor cannot perform.

I really like the tractor.

The tractor is a breeze to operate. It really surprised me at the power it has the work it can do. The loader is also easy to operate. I have the 60" mowing deck. You can cut a lot of grass fast. The only thing i would change about the mowing deck, is i think the wheels should have been made to swivel 360 degrees. When you are mowing and you turn at least one of the wheels will drag the ground, thus dragging the grass up leaving the ground bare. Other than this, i really do like the whole combination.

Great tractor

My 1023e does all I need it to do and more. Really pleased so far with it.

Great all purpose machine!

This has been a great product for our small acreage! We are able to use it for mowing, tilling and snow removal. Very easy to switch out all the attachments

Very easy to change attachments.

I have 5 acres that I mow and landscape. The front loader bucket has made hauling of rock, mulch, limbs and debris as easy as I could hope for. Only way it could be easier is for someone else to do it for me. Very impressed with the quality of the cut with the 60 inch deck. My property has hills, gullies and quite a few trees to mow around and the 4-wheel drive and power steering make it a breeze to handle. Switching between attachments takes only a few minutes and NO tools. This is an excellent all-purpose tractor.

Excellent little TRACTOR

I have owned my 1023e for over a year now and absolutely love it. I have the H120 quick connect loader that is a snap to install and remove, on average I would say connecting and disconnecting the loader is less than two minutes. I also have the 54d mower deck with auto quick connect, this system works excellent. I am on average about one minute connecting and disconnecting the drive over deck. The mowing quality is excellent no scalping an no uneven cut lines. The mower deck has just as good of quality cut as my commercial zero turn (z920m). With this tractor I also purchased a Frontier RT1149 tiller that works awesome and connecting is a breeze with my I-Match quick connect. My Frontier 2048 yard box works great behind my 1023e. I am extremely happy with my tractor and feel it is an exceptional good piece of machinery. I purchased it at Washington Tractors Chehalis location from Robin Henderson and was treated excellent.

Moving Snow

I traded up from an X300 to the 1023. I have 550 feet of paved driveway. With the X300 I had the blower attachment for removing snow and for the 1023 I purchased the plow (and I have the bucket also). We just had 3 feet of snow dumped on us and I can't believe how great the unit performed. I have turf tires with no chains and never get stuck. I run her in 4x4 all winter and it has never failed, I do have to take my time with the heavy wet snow, but I prefer plowing that stuff then trying to blow it. I did like the x300 for cutting the lawn, did a better job then the 1023, but you wouldn't be able to tell once its cut.

The way the tractor handles in different appications

Have 1023 with drive over 60' deck w/ loader attachment. Mow approx. 4 acres a week. Does a good job, not as quick as other models but quick enough for me. Does not spread grass like I like, will show up on yard. Did have trouble with under carriage holding deck on, it broke twice before was replace with heavier material. Love the loader option, do a lot of work with this, use this around house/farm and on high school softball field. Problem with loader if there is no a counter weight on back, loader will make wheels lose traction with load in bucket and/or make the tractor very unstable. [which I found out very quickly] The tractor is right size for work on yard work and small farm jobs and works very well with working on softball fields. when I purchased tractor had great problem with hydraulic problems, took several weeks for repairs. one other problem is with the warning lamps on roll bar, when mowing close to bushes or trees that have branches leaning out will catch warning lamps breaking them off need to be reposition to inside of roll bar.

Poor quality, surprisingly fragile!

Rear implement third point broke on the first day, (it is now still at the dealer, 9 days so far, waiting for someone to look at it). This is supposed to be a solid steel part, you would not expect it to break just because you pushed the Hydraulic lever when the pin is not fully inserted (trying to align the pin so it can be inserted). Ride over mower is extremely hard to mount, the lift arms do not go low enough. Tried for hours, it is now at the dealer, they will check... Field mower wheel fell off after 10 minutes (installed at the dealer with the wrong, too small, pin).

Bought for my wife...Her lawnmower!

Perfect for our 7+acres. My wife loves how easy it is to use. Now if I could only teach her to do the maintenance.

Ive had mine now for 10 months love it

Yes it has its limitations but i knew that going in. It has done everything that i have asked it to do. Moved 48 tons of ball field dirt. Mowed thigh high grass. Graded, pushed, dug. The wife loves it around the yard. Very easy to use and holds way more than a wheel barrow.

Very powerful and versatile

I have had my 1023e for about 9 months now and couldn't be happier. It is very easy to operate and to change implements. This machine far exceeds any expectation.

Thank You John Deere

This is my second John Deere Tractor. I bought this tractor for its many uses. I had to spread gravel for a double car garage and do alot of landscaping for our new home. What a back saver. We got alot of snow in 2014 and its not over yet. I have a long driveway and the tractor worked like a charm removing the snow. We also used it for planting fruit trees in our back yard. I am planning on purchasing the mower deck. I would recommend this to every person that owns a home with 1 or more acres.

High Quality, Easy to operate, Excellent value

I have had the 1023E for about 5 weeks now and have 11 hours on it. It has gotten a good workout this winter as we have had many heavy snowfalls this winter in upstate New York. The tractor is equipped with a snow blower and a 5ft rear blade for winter. Also, a 54 in deck for summer. This tractor is able to move snow with no problems. It has turf tires and does not get stuck or have any traction problems, even without chains or weights. I am very satisfied with it and also would like to give a thumbs up to Hudson River Tractor in Fultonville NY where I purchased it. Great people to deal with and I have recommended them to many. Bottom line: quality product, and an excellent dealer!

Breat tractor

Does everything it is suppose to do very well. Helps make short work of most heavy jobs, and cuts grass too.

excellent choice!

in 1975 I bought a Deere 210. 10 hp Kohler Eng and 47" deck. I'd still be happily using it, except I moved from 1 acre to 3. Was a 2.5 hr mow. A real chore to convert the overgrown lot to lawn. Looked at a few brands, but really wanted another Deere I thought I'd move to a 5x or 7x series, but Deere ran a 0% w/ cash back, bringing the 1023E into the ballpark. I went with 60" deck, FE loader, ballast box, hitch and haven't looked back. I expected a wider turn, but no - it can turn the same radius that my #smaller# 210 did. I yr old now, with about 65 hrs on it. I love the speed and extra width. Front end loader is very handy too. It does everything I need and more. I would recommend the sub compacts. I'm pleased

Good features and ease of use

Tractor needs a larger fuel filter near tank and lift arm needs to be more carefully fitted with snap ring. Mine came off and is so tight that the snap ring will not stay in place. Tractor has plent of power and is very economical to run compared to gasoline of an earlier JD model. Love the drive over mower deck and the quick hitch loader.

Very Good Tractor

Never owned a tractor until this 1023e. Watched a bunch of tractor Mike videos, looked at a Kubota and chose John Deere. Power was not an issue because we are suburban on 3 acres. The 1023e is on the low end of Sub Compact power. Meets all of our needs. Also got wheel weights and beet juice in tires. The D120 Pin on Loader was over a thousand bucks less than the H120 Quick Change loader. So we bought the D120. Glad we did. Rarely take the loader off. Twice a year. Its the loader you need and use the most. Only takes 15 minutes to switch it out. Had dealer weld on chain hooks to bucket. Use them a lot. Sips fuel. Oil stays clean. Easy to maintain and keep looking new. We keep it in a garage. 15k is too much to let sit outside. Compared to Kubota I tried, John Deere sounds better and looks better. I thought it looked better built. Plastic hood and fenders are a good idea I think. Dash board is fine. Some complain its dated, Please. Its a tractor. I would rather have my gas gauge on the fender if that's what it takes to make it reliable and accurate. Which it is. The dashboard has all the info you need to maintain and operate. I will admit tractors are hazardous. Careful with kids around. Careful climbing on and off while its running. We started a rule where it has to be shut off before climbing on and off. Otherwise you are relying on the safety systems. Hooked a jacket on the Forward lever too many times. The safety switch stopped the engine every time, thank goodness. Just take it slow all the time and think before acting. Swinging the bucket around will do real damage to your parked car, or getting the PROPS hooked on a branch, or too much weight in loader causing rear wheels to bounce etc. etc..... Respect the PTO. I haven't had these mishaps, however once I started using tractor a few months, all these issues come into play. Love the tractor and the new found tractor culture. Again, very useful piece of equipment.

I love that it's such a great universial tractor!

Love that I can do it all with this tractor! I mow about 6 acres of lawn, grade my long driveway, use a subsoil ripper to pop up dead stumps and if I need to dig in hard soil, stir up my huge leave piles with the loader, that I have created with the power flow blower attached to my 60" deck! I wish I had bought it 5 or 10 years earlier!

What is with the hydraulics ?

I purchased this model (1023e my 3rd John Deere) when my GT225 was showing its age at 20yrs. Started off fine but the hoses on the hydraulics lines started showing lots of wear due to Rubbing on either the mower deck of something else. It only has 138 hours on it and one of the lines started leaking. I have had it for 4 years, it now sits in the shop waiting on repair part. Frankly, I am not happy with this model. I have a my 5310 that is a champ at 19 yrs old and my gt225, square baler, disc mower and tedder all are green. The 1023e just hasn't been as reliable as my other Deerequipment

JD quality

love this machine would buy another and recomen to anybody

This product has good features

I was told that this machine would cost me less to operate than my old gas engine 445. Come to find out it uses 1.4 gallons per hour. Plus I've had it in 3 times for uneven cutting (3/4 inch to 1 inch lower on the chute side.) The last date in for repair was 8/14/15. Just starting cutting since last adjustment, but got chased by rain.

Front Loader

I got the standard front loader on my 1023E, not the quick connect option. The dealer demonstrated the standard loader removal & reattachment procedure. Simple and easy enough. However on my tractor I have some issues attaching & removing the loader. The top right pin is always very difficult to remove and replace while the other pins are able to be removed and/or installed with no effort whatsoever. It is as if the top right attachment hole is misaligned. I have told the dealer about this problem and their response was " well thats just the way it is sometimes". Very disappointing and no effort to address the problem. The bucket is always removed and reattached on a level concert garage floor. The tractor is less than 1 year old.

Wow how could buy any other tractor?

I have had my 1023E tractor for a year and a half and it is just awesome. I have cleared brush. dug holes, towed 40 ft. poles, mowed lawn, and plowed snow to name a few things I have done with it. The only issues I have had are in the winter while plowing snow it sucks snow into the air intake when the snow is over 2 ft. deep, and it uses more fuel than I thought it would but is very cheep to operate. Why would you buy any other tractor than a John Deere?

One heck of a tractor

I was skeptical of these small tractors. Boy was I surprised. Bought it less than a year ago and it's done everything I've wanted it to do. From mowing grass to tilling to blowing snow with the rear mount blower. Has plenty of power and have about 110 hours on it.

very hondy every thing works great

Tractor works great some issues but not to bad when bought the dealer should go over the tractor and explain the features and how they work.

Forget the rest go with the best

This tractor is very easy to operate for being disabled there is not a tractor out there that could do what the 1023e can do. for starters the auto connect deck just drive over the deck and your good to go! the H120 loader is unbelievable all you do is line it up push the clips down connect the 4 hoses and your done! The workmanship on this tractor is A+ just look at it and could tell the quality is there.That they took pride in every nut and bolt! this tractor is worth every penny!!

Great tractor

This tractor turned all my big jobs into little ones. It is a tractor I use all year from mowing the lawn and plowing snow to grading my drive way and moving heavy objects around the yard. For what I paid and what this tractor can do I count it as one of the best purchases I have ever made. Can't imagine being without it.

excellent tractor for outside house work

I have put almost 60 hours on it since July 2014. That is hours that I was able to keep off of a much larger and much more expensive tractor. It is very maneuverable, quick and easy to operate. I wish I had bought one of these years ago. I wouldn't need to replace $3000 worth of tires on my other tractor. I have a couple of small issues: 1. I keep confusing the handle of my coffee cup with the 3 point lift control. The cup holder is perfect- move the 3 point lift control. 2. The transmission control lever keeps hooking my coat, when I get off the tractor- shuts the engine off, nice safety feature--but.

Gauges came foggy from factory and now pieces are falling off

With 10 hours on the tractor, bolts and bracket items started rattling off. I found them when doing the 10 hour maintenance routine. Little disappointed for this price and the Deere name.

Great tractor for the price.

Purchased October 2012 and now have 220 hours. I live on a 2 acre property with a 500 ft driveway. Also purchased 60" deck, loader, ballast box, 47" snowblower, 50" broom, and 5 ft rear blade. Excellent all around machine that is very Ergo friendly to the operator. The loader has paid for itself 10 times over for the time and work saved on my property. The mower deck took some major time in "dialing" in the blade height to make it cut evenly. love the drive over deck! Have some minor oil leaks in axle seal area that warranty should cover. Next time I will probably trade up to the 1026

Good tractor but poor quality

Rear hydraulics were broke on tractor when new. Dealership fixed it by replacing the value and a cracked part. Broke again within a week where a clip was not replaced correctly which made the rear left lift arm come completely off the tractor.

Great Quality Tractor!

-Minor issues with connecting my 60" auto connect mower deck, not as easy as it should be. Mows great once attached. -47" snow blower was incredible this past winter, chewed thru record New England snow with no issues. -Looking forward to adding useful accessories in the future.

1023 compact tractor

works great except for snow blower. Not enough hp on pto to do a good job. Auto connect deck works well when everything is just right. If you want it for snow blowing then go to the 26 hp model

Handles the Job of the Semi-Rural Homeowner

Had the 1023e for a year now, with the detachable front-end loader, 60" deck and ballast box. Mow over 6 acres of grass, moved fallen trees out of the way by pushing with the bucket, installed a new 400 ft. gravel driveway to an outbuilding for haystorage and used the bucket to remove 36" of snow in the driveway and clean out stalls for three horses. This has been a great tractor combination which has easily handled all of my needs. Hydraulic hoses are easy to attach and remove on the connection plate. There is really not too much difference in HP size between the 1023 and the 1025, but saved quite a few dollars by not buying the larger model with the bells and whistles. Looking to purchase the backhoe attachment now. This is a great tractor for a horse owner with just a few horses on the property.

Can't beat the quality for the money spent

This tractor has easily done everything I've asked it to do. I bought it with the 120R FEL and the 54" AutoConnect Deck. I've also used it with the attachments I already had, a 4' box blade and a 4' bush hog. It replaced my 2001 445, which also had a 40 FEL and the above mentioned attachments, but the 1023E despite being of the same hp rating is easily 50% to twice as much tractor without being much larger. My 445 served me very well, but now I wish I had purchased the 1023E much sooner. The turning radius is still excellent, 4X4 with low is super powerful. The drive-over deck and quick park loader are actually just as easy as advertised. My only complaint so far is the cheap plastic keepers for the hood panel. So far I've added the ballast box, quick hitch and the quick-tach pallet forks as well. Dumping the bucket and picking up the forks are as easy as un-clipping tow pins and letting the tractor do the rest.

Great buy!

I’ve had my 1023 about a year now. Bought it used with 300 hours and put nearly 200 on it in a year with little to no issues. Does everything I need it to do with ease and is very reliable. Green is the way to go!

love it, easy to use, but quality has us concerned

We love the tractor, it's easy to use and is plenty powerful enough to do everything we need, from digging post holes, digging out stumps, hauling wood, sand, stone, stonedust, compost, manure, etc. This is our first JD, we have the H120 loader and 260 backhoe. We use it, but don't abuse it. We've had it just under 2 years and have about 70 hours on it. However, we have grown concerned about quality. When we first bought it, within the first 5 hours the hydraulic pump starting making odd noise, we called and found out that there was a PIP (recall), then we were told that it would cost $180 for pick up and drop off for the work to be done, thankfully we had a really good sales person who understood that would be unreasonable when we had owned the tractor for less than two weeks and had only ~7 hours on it. The tractor is kept garaged at all times. The next 65 hours went well, then a month ago we saw a leak on the garage floor under the stabilizer foot for the backhoe and sure enough the stabilizer cylinder was leaking. Thankfully it's still under warranty, but that runs out in another 2 weeks or so and we are worried with two issues already at only 70 hours what may be next... our expectation when buying it was several years and at least 250+ hrs of normal casual use without any issues at all. Hopefully these were just a fluke...

Very nice and compact.

a.The seat could stand to be a suspension seat, like the 1025R has. The extra cost per unit wouldn't be detrimental to overall pricing on this particular unit. b. I re-located the rear lights to the inside of the ROPS bars vs: outboard as delivered. Less worries regarding accidently hitting them on low hanging branches. c. I installed the block heater myself, could have been engineered in a more user-friendly position like the right side of engine vs: all the way to the rear of the engine against the firewall. d. Sheet metal vs: plastic would have been nice. e. Hermetically sealed glass dash vs: plastic is an idea.

Fantastic Value

Bought with the mower deck and 47" snow thrower. Both work fantastic.

great choice

Love the drive on mower deck. Have used the loader more than I thought I would.

Bought it for ruggedness and to match my John Deere hat

Have driven tractors a lot when young, but this was my first purchase. I explained to the dealer salesman what I wanted it to do, and he advised me on the choices of attachments. It was last fall so I got the sale which included an extra attachment. Use tractor to level gravel driveway, make trails through the woods, move mulch, and move rocks off trail to form a garden barrier. Recently bought a bush hog attachment. My main suggestion is to improve the manual, in particular the illustration of the controls - it is hard to read and figure out exactly where each control is located. Surely some high quality images with arrows would cost little as an addition. For example, the bush hog was my first need of PTO and it was very difficult to identify the control location.

This tractor has so many options to use

This is my first John Deere tractor an I am sold on them. If you need a tractor this is the one for you. So many options to use. Also easy to use. my only suggestion is to make CD on manuals. nobody really Read's them. So people can watch how to use them an make buyers enjoy the tractor better. More prompt to buy adaptation devices.

John deere tractor

The1023E. Tractor is very easy to handle ,the attachments are very easy to disconnect and put back on ,handles great in tight places, very easy to operate love the tractor ,best money that I have ever spent.The loader is very easy to use great equipment Thank

Just a tractor

Some things about this tractor are excellent, like the drive-on mower deck. Other things, like the plastic hood and the exposed fuel line are not good. In the 3 years I've owned this tractor, I've replaced the mower gear box, fixed the 3-point hitch, replaced a damaged fuel line and determined that it just plain won't run in winter without fuel treatment. I expected more from Deere and from one of the highest priced products in the category

It's very easy to drive etc.

It was a very good investment in my 24 acres of land.i wish I would of got it sooner.it has done things for me in a short time that would of took years or not even get done without it.

the ease of putting on the attachements is a lot easier and others

I brought this tractor after seeing a friend have one. The ease of putting on the attachments and the double peddle for forward and reverse is great. It takes me half the time to mow and with the tires that is on it I thought is would mark up my yard but it doesn't, you can't tell if I mow with a hand mower or the tractor which is great.

Good, just not as good

I am very happy with my 1023E, but should have bought a zero turn to do the lawn mowing and just use the tractor for mowing the pasture and plowing. Perhaps the rear deck may work better, but the tractor rocks from side to side and tends to cut into the lawn if set to low. My LX277 never did that no matter what speed I was moving. The bucket is fantastic and the main reason I bought this model, now I need to get some garden implements.

Awesome Tractor

Everything on tractor is easy use and user friendly every hook up is quick, comfortable riding and gets the job done for most of what you need done.

Great tractor for 4 acres or less.

Bought a 1023E for my 2 acre home. Best investment I could have made. I bought mine with a bucket, rear blade and 54" quick release mower deck. The lot needed work, with this little work horse it took no time to level and improve it. Easy to use, powerful for it's size, which makes it just right to fit in the barn and get around tight spots. Unfortunately, too many neighbors are jealous and want to borrow it. It even came in very useful for unloading some heavy equipment (400+ lbs) from my truck recently. Much better than buying a lawn mower and trying to load it up with accesories, this gem is designed to work with buckets and blades.

Easy to use

The tractor is a nice size and drives nicely.The hydro pedals work great and all controls are easy to use. The drive in loader is easy to use and works well only limited by tractor size. The only complaints is at 50 hrs a protective cover fell of of the loader ( there to protect lines) will cost about 30 bucks ( it is only held on by zip ties). The drive on deck is easy but not as easy they say, usually mine takes from two to five times to get it to hook. The only other thing is pricing, I could have bought a 1025r for less at a different dealer ( if I had known I would have driven 2 hrs to do it) shop around. But Overall I am happy with the tractor.

Solid machine for the $

So I've had the 1023E for a year now. Very impressed with the engineering of the drive over deck and quick attach bucket. I have mowed, pulled shrubs, moved mulch and even topsoil with ease. If you can afford however the 1025R adds aux lighting and a suspension seat, both of which I wish I had.

Front Loader and Rotary Tiller are the greatest for most of what I need to use it for.

I find it very easy to use and is very useful. I use it to move rock and dirt as well as to till gardens. I use it to move firewood and anything I don't want to use a wheel barrel on. It is well worth the money spent.

THE TRACTOR IS GREAT, BUT THE MOWER LEAVES A LOT TO BE DESIRED 62D

THE TRACTOR, SNOW BLOWER( ALTHOUGH VERY HEAVY) AND BAGGER AS WELL AS FRONT LOADER ARE GREAT. MY PROBLEM WITH THE MOWER IS ITS VERY HARD TO LEVEL. ALSO THE CUTTING HEIGHT DOES NOT HAVE ANY RELATION SHIP TO THE NUMBERS ON THE DIAL. IT IS SET UP FOR 1/2" OR MORE GRADUATIONS. WHEN I LOOKED AT HE MACHINE I WAS EXPECTING 1/4" LIKE ALL THE OTHER MACHINES INCLUDING THE UTILITIES THAT I HAVE OWNED. I HAVE HAD A DIESEL TRACTOR SINCE THE 300 SERIES AND THEN WENT TO THE 860 OR 660 (?) 870 AND SEVERAL OTHERS. I HAVE HAD THE JD DIESEL MACHINES SINCE SOMETIME IN THE SEVENTIES. I AM SEVENTY FIVE YEARS OLD AND NEW WHAT I WANTED. THE DEALER WAS TERRIBLE AND I DID TALK TO A REGIONAL SALES REP TO NO AVAIL. THE HANDBOOK OR OWNERS MANUAL WAS INCOMPLETE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN REISSUED AS YOU REVISED THE 1023E, 1025 AND 1026. MANUAL WAS TOO CONFUSING. I AM ACTUALLY NOT SURE THERE IS ENOUGH POWER FOR THE 62D DECK. THE TIRES REALLY COMPACT THE GRASS, WHEN IT IS LONG. YES I AM A FUSS BUDGET, BUT THIS IS OVER $20,000 PLUS IN EQUIPMENT. THANK YOU FOR THE REQUEST? DAVE I

I have the 2305, former model

I love my machine. I have a puma 50" snowblower and have no issues blowing snow or wet snow into the woods, it shoots about 8 feet not 20 but enough. I have a pto generator 8kw and works like a charm at full load. I burn 3.2 liters per hour at 2800 rpm which is better than any car on the road at 100km per hour. I've never wished I had a larger machine as of yet and i've moved wet heavy snow, lifted heavy boulders, gravel on my driveway, leveled my driveway, you need a rear ballast box with about 500lbs to really improve traction and pushing power immensely, total different machine with 500 lbs on the back. added led 100 watt lights. great machine. a cab would be nice in the winter living in quebec, but for 5k and chance of breakage of glass in the woods etc...pros and cons. excellent.

Lots of Uses

I've had this 1023e for about a year now and it's been used for grading, mowing, moving hay bales (5 ft round), spreading fertilizer, trenching, tilling, discing, planting, and a bunch of other things. I bought an Artillian fork set attachment and their trencher attachment, both of which worked well on the front loader. Low fuel consumption, easy starting, and easy controls, plus quick-attach systems are all big pluses.

great little tractor

great turning radius. good little tractor so far..

Solid versatile little tractor that my wife and I both use.

This machine has many different functions but the main ones for us are the mower and the loader. it is very easy to attach the mower deck and cut grass. The turning radius is remarkably tight and the 7 iron mower deck is rugged and strong. My wife clears the snow from our driveway with the loader bucket when I'm at work clearing parking lots. I've used the loader for many things including hauling tree trunks and brush, loading stone, dirt, mulch and any other item normally put in a wheelbarrow. The controls are simple and we both agree...It's fun

great tractor

saves me a lot of work wish I had it 10 years ago!

1023E

Excellent product. The snowblower eats snow. Front end loader does the job Mower excellent I love the easy connect feature

love my tractor

I love my little tractor. All the attachments that u can get for it makes life and yard work much easier. I plow snow with it,till the garden, and haul everything with the bucket. I loaned it to my parents once and didnt see it for 2 months they absolutely loved it now i just have to get them to trade in their old john deere for a new one. Also my youngest drives it all over town and to school i cant keep her off it

could have stronger parts

using on a 5 acre homestead for general work such as grading drive way, moving brush, bush hogging, etc. great strength and power for what we do. two problems we have is when pushing brush into a pile the hydraulics disconnect to easy, will be making and installing a guard when warranty is up and the forward/reverse pedals could be made stronger, already have had to replace the forward pedal because it snapped at the bushing. only had 50 hours on the machine when it happened and the local dealer said it is not covered by warranty.

Great litttle big tractor

The attachments are amazing. This is truly a one man/woman tractor in every regard. I did a lot of shopping before buying and hands down this tractor beats the competition in style, power, and ease of use. I would encourage everyone to do their own research and you will find this tractor to be at the top of the list. The one gripe that I have (and I know it's because of safety) would be the deck mount PTO shuts off if you try and mow in reverse. For those that have the belly mower, it can be annoying to drive a full circle just to cut a small section of grass or disengage the PTO reverse and reengage the PTO. I feel this tractor is still small enough to be able to do this. At any rate, awesome tractor. I can see why this model is so popular. Great job, John Deere!

Great Tractor

I have a large yard and this Tractor takes care of my 45 acres for light mowing, dirt moving, light logging very nicely, I only wish I had this 5 years earlier, it has been a great purchase worth every penny.

TRACTOR REVIEW

MY TRACTOR QUIT WORKING 2 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE. WHEN TRYING TO FIX, COMPANY I PURCHASED FROM GAVE SUGGESTIONS TO TRY. TRIED AND DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. TRACTOR IS STILL BROKE DOWN IN THE YARD AND I AM PAYING $17,000 ON A NON WORKING PIECE OF I WOULD NOT EVER RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. REGRET PURCHASING AND CRY EVERY TIME I MAKE A PAYMENT.

Needed one years ago!

I bought this tractor after talking to my local JD dealer. He was knowlagable and honest. After questioning me about my uses he recomend the 1023e. And with endless well built implaments from Deere and Frontier this little tractor is unstoppable! I pull wood, back blade brush and level new road beds, push snow, mow, broadcast spread lime/fertilizer, you name it. The 1023e will really suprise you on how easy it operates and what it will do! I've operated loads of heavy equment so I feel like I'm quailifed to say this little tractor is a great machine! Thanks Meade Tractor and John Deere for making my chores so much easier!

Would not recommend

Was disappointed that the 1023 E did not compare with the same quality as the 2210: At the out set the battery would not hold a charge, it was replaced. The wire under the seat shorted out and the tractor would not run and had to be repaired. The quick connect mower on more than one occasion fell off the tractor and was run over. I now have pins through the mower to the frame to prevent the mower form falling off the unit. I am displeased with the quality of the purchase.

The best piece of equipment I have ever owned

This tractors build quality is the best All functions we're well designed and very easy to use Changing implements could not be easier

small tractor big results

I worried when I bought this tractor if I could justify the cost and if I really would utilize the loader. I purchased a mower, loader, bush hog and snow blower for my 1023. A year later the answer to was it worth it? You bet it was! We have about 3 acres and a third of it is lawn. The mower cuts beautifully, the snow blower here in coastal Maine is a must have ( I am out there pulling my neighbors truck out of the ditch in a snow storm). With my loader I am moving logs, mulch, loam, gravel, shrubs, trees, pulling posts...the list is endless. Switching attachments was probably the most challenging aspect of the machine but a year in I have manged to go through the cycle without any calls to the dealer and the changes go pretty smoothly.

Disappointed in Loader

My only issue has been with the loader. The power and torque from the engine is good, although having used the 1023 for a while, I would probably pony up for the 1026 were I to buy it again. I have 2 acres to mow, and the 54" mower deck does well without scalping some bumps and hills. I use much less diesel compared to my neighbor's gasoline Deere. I like the relatively soft on/off of the PTO. I have not used the 3 pt on the back for anything but carrying a 450 lb counterweight for the loader. Since the mower is PTO driven, I don't expect any problems when I get a tiller this spring. I have been a little disappointed in the loader. The bucket has good breakout and loading capabilities. I've used it mostly for hauling dirt, hauling rock and moving snow, and a full bucket carries well. One problem I have is the responsiveness varies widely, even over a few minutes and is often very, very slow. The other problem I have is that I can set the bucket at a 30 degree angle and put the boom in float for smoothing backwards, and the bucket will settle to nearly flat under the weight of the boom. This is with a completely empty bucket. I have had Deere out to look at the loader three times. They replaced a leaky cylinder, hydraulic lines, and eventually gave me an enormous pressure limiting valve at the quick connect that slowed the response to something ridiculous that I eventually took back out. The cause could easily be the same for both concerns, maybe a hinky valve. Feels somewhat like air in the lines, but there is no bleed procedure in the manual. Works well enough, I guess, but the loader is out of warranty now, with the dealership not finding a solution. Started out working to my expectations, so I'm not sure what changed.

The Wife Is So Happy

The wife is so happy I broke down and got your 1023E 1 family tractor. It has been a God send in helping us around the new homestead. Leveling out the road base for the carport bard, raising walls for the new storage barn, moving around material and making a new drainage ditch out front. The only problem I've had was one of the hydraulic lines gave way but with the warranty was able to have the original hose repaired until a new one was placed back in stock and now have it as a standby. Even gave me a gallon of fluid if it was needed. So if a One Family/Compact tractor is all you need I recommend getting one.

Great little tractor for 3 acres.

I just purchased my 1023e 2 months ago. I have 120 r loader,boxscrape and also bought a set of Deere 42 inch pallet forks. I decided not to purchase the drive over deck.I purchased a Speeco quick hitch at Agri supply. I'm well pleased so far with my purchase. The pallet forks are convenient to have and the quick hitch makes changing implements so easy.I also use a 6ft. Woods scraper blade that is quick hitch compatible.You can accomplish many tasks on your property with this little machine.

Love the tractor like features in a super-duty mower.

Very pleased with the equipment overall. Only problem I've had was a leaky radiator overflow reservoir cap which leaked antifreeze coolant, but the dealer replaced it and is now fine. You should add a small heel foot pedal for the differential lock, rather than just a small rod sticking out. I love the tractor as a super-duty mower, which is what we purchased it for.. Ordered it with the Turf tires to be easier on the lawn. Already owned a 2320 with the loader and backhoe, for a tractor. Fuel economy is great compared to the X-700 we had prior to the 1023. Overall, we love it.

Love my 1023 John Deere " Big John"

I am 80 yrs old Dec 16th, have 52 acres, and love the out doors. Big John allows me too do things I would not be able to do, and probably should'nt. Ha Ha I have most of the attachments and am amazed at what I can do. It allows me to be independent. Every 80 yr old should have one.

Found no problems thus far.

The tractor starts and runs good and seems to provide ample power for the Frontier tiller that I bought with the tractor. I have no issues or complaints after over 12 months use.

Love it!!!

I use it for everything.. I feel it takes the place of the three sons I never had..

Great all around small tractor for home use

I use this tractor for snow removal, hauling wood and maintaining my alley. Love the size of the bucket for this size tractor.

Awesome TRACTOR FOR VALUE AND FUN

I've had my 1023e for the better part of 2 years. I considered the 500 and 700 lawnmowers as what I got this for was mostly cutting grass. My previous mower was a Honda Harmony H1011 Riding mower that worked great, but took well more than an hour to cut the yard and did require a bit of body English to get traction in some of the challenging sections. I have always liked John Deere products so my bias is showing. My machine (named Jade) cut the mowing time down to 20 minutes but I spend more than that out cutting anything I can find (road frontages mostly as well as the street side parts of my country neighbors). It's great fun to ride on (and cut grass). Durability has been great (no trips to the shop except for initial oil change and servicing). I get about a year's worth of grass cutting out of 10 gallons of diesel (basically it uses about a gallon per hour). The four wheel drive is a beast, especially when I press the rear locker down with my heal. I've taken out more of the woods at my property and have been mowing over the weeds that grew back. If you really want something that is pretty cool, take a test drive. The dealership in Williamsburg Virginia is awesome too. Just saying. Kindest regards, Donner Grigsby

Love the easy attach features

I wasn't sure until I started to use all of the quick attach features if I would feel like it was a good purchase. I was mistaken, it was a great purchase! I have and will continue to recommend this set up to anyone who is looking to purchase a small tractor!

No Regrets

I traded an equally powered Kubota BX series due to dealer issues for this tractor. Out of the gate, the 1023e has more power than my Kubota. I have been plowing snow with a 66 inch snow pusher; and snow a foot deep doesn't bog the tractor down one bit. I was skeptical about the auto-attach mower deck, and H120 easy park loader, but refreshingly both work as advertised with no effort. { I will not miss laying on the ground pushing and pulling the 300lb mower deck trying to align the driveshaft splines on my old Kubota}. The 1023e is fuel efficient, and has power to spare. The fit in finish on delivery was excellent, and I found the manuals easy to follow. If you are looking for an all around workhorse for your acreage, or small farm, you can't go wrong with the 1023e.

Perfect for small estate

Plenty of power for the front loader for tasks and great with the snow blower. Added a Ratchet Rake Attachment to make the bucket more aggressive for breaking the ground and removing undergrowth.

First Time John Deere Owner

Bought my first John Deere this past March.Purchased a 2015 Model 1023E and I am so pleased with the unit! I added the 54inch mower deck with quick connect,and a 5ft. rear blade and rear work light as options.I always bought Cub Cadets and they never last long.This tractor mows better than any Cub that I have owned! I bought mine from Ray at Limestone JD in Shelbyville,Ky. and He has been great to deal with.

An amazingly powerful machine in a small package

I would recommend the 1023E to any homeowner who owns more than just a small city lot. It is a very highly capable machine in a small and easy to maneuver package.

Money pit

Was getting ready to retire and wanted to buy my final tractor, last one lasted 20 years, I bought the John Deere 1023e, and every time I use it something breaks down and cost hundreds to replace. Live on my dream farm but seriously thinking I will have to move. 6 acres of land and due to this tractors expense and down time I can't keep up. Really sad.

One tough little tractor!

I expect a lot out of everything I own. So far, my 1023e has done everything I needed it to. Sometimes, I've had to ask it a little differently than I would a bigger tractor, but I've gotten results out of it that I honestly didn't expect to get. This past summer I cut down 37 pines in my yard, most were 22-28 inches in diameter and 60-80 feet tall. My 1023e "bulldozed" all the limbs we cut from the logs, creating a 100' long pile 15' wide and 8' high, and moved and stacked the logs, which were left whole and WAY exceeded anything the tractor is rated to do. Some maintenance, some unexpected repairs (mostly covered by the warranty), and some repairs for things I just tore up...nothing major, and nothing that was too expensive. Speaking of expensive, however...the one downside was what I paid for it...you get a quality little workhorse of a machine, but it's going to cost you a pretty penny!

Save your back and purchase a JD.. pays for itself fast!

I purchased the 1023e a little over a year ago and after putting close to 100 hours on it.. the machine has easily paid for itself. (100 hrs / 8 hrs daily rental = 12.5 days... round to 12 days * $300 a day to rent = $3600 vs $2660 for 0% apr for 72 months) I use the machine weekly around my few acres of land I own. I must have moved close to a 1000 yards of stone, fill, and loam last summer regrading my back yard running 5 hours at a time with no problem. I was able to move and spread 20 yards of dirt within 40 feet of the pile within an hour... try moving that amount of material by hand... will take you all day. I was able to fill the bucket full of riff raff rock and pick it up with the proper counter weight with ease, so if it fits it lifts! Snow removal is a breeze with the float position in the bucket. Was able to push 6 inches a snow down my 150 foot driveway with easy. What took me an hour with the snow blower takes me 20 minutes with the JD. Wife wanted a 500 square foot patio... within an hour had the grass ripped up and site leveled for it. Took longer to rip up the grass closer to the house than anything else. Brought the machine over to my parents land nearby to help clear the near 100 trees that they had taken down. My father could not believe the power the machine had. I was able to lift 8 foot log lengths with ease and stack no problem. Sure would a larger machine be able to carry more tree lengths than 2-3 depending on length and weight...ofcourse but sure saves the back. In conclusion if you value your time and want to work smarter not harder... BUY THIS MACHINE.

The 1023E: Why did I wait so long to get one?!

Keep in mind I'm old John Deere hand from back in the 60's. I've always been biased towards John Deere due to actual experience with many different tractor and implement manufactures from back then. Today I'm retired, permanently disabled due to my back, and up until now I've not had any relationship with farming and equipment since back then. What a godsend! In three weeks I managed to clear the entirety of my property of tumbleweed, grease plant, assorted other brush, and landscape everything right from the seat of my new John Deere tractor using the 120R bucket loader and the 48" Frontier Box Scraper. All from the comfort of the seat of my tractor which I couldn't believe would be so comfortable. I live in the high desert mountains of California where wildfires are a real threat and weed abatement is a must. I scraped everything down to the desert sand and it looks great! No more fire hazard. On top of that, filled in all the low spots, dressed off the perimeter fence line, and then set to bringing in the firewood. The disk between the vertebrae in my spine is just plain gone. Hence I can't bend over and straighten up to accomplish what most would take for granted. Thanks to my new John Deere tractor and the bucket loader I can simply drive over to the firewood where I have it delivered and stacked, put the bucket down on the ground right next to it, then bend over one time to load the bucket brimming full. Then it's use the bucket loader arms to pull myself back up, slip into the seat, and drive right to the front door where I raise the bucket to chest level and take the firewood from the front door right to the woodstove hearth and stack it. No longer do I have to hope my son shows up to visit to bring in the firewood for me. I can once again do it for myself and have the benefit of enjoying it in the process. Next project, three point hitch mounted PTO driven generator for when the power goes out. Love that iMatch Quick Connect!

Small heavy duty tractor

I bought my1023E sub-compact over a year ago and now have over a hundred hours on it. I have a front end loader on the tractor. The tractor has plenty of power to do the jobs on my property. The tractor is very maneuverable and handles well. Tractor operates well in the snow. Only issue I have had with the tractor was when the hydraulic filter clogged up. JD fixed it no problem under warranty. I would recommend this tractor.

Impossible to connect hydraulic “quick disconnect”

No support numbers. Hydraulic quick disconnect ...sure disconnect ...just try to connect. Never mind moving levers to lose hydraulic pressure that doesn’t work. Can’t hammer them on even. Nothing quick about that.So...can’t use mower or bucket. No support from dealer or website. So it sits. Sell, sell sell once that’s done good luck.

jduser

I've owed the 1023e for 4.5 years now. It came with the 54" deck and the front loader. I also ordered a 47" pto driven jd tiller. The tiller is great. I've also owned a x495 #now in the x700 series# w/a 62" deck for 10 years now. The x495 is my choice when mowing. Lower center of gravity on the x495 gives a better ride and the 1023e deck seems to scalp a lot. The 1023e has been running rough when I first start it this summer but it always gets going after about 10 seconds of coughing/sputtering. This morning it wouldn't crank. The glow plug light comes on and I could hear the fuel pump but nothing when I turned the key. I suspect a bad operator presence switch. I've never had it stuck and w/weight on the rear, it's great for clearing snow or moving dirt. Big difference is the x495 has NEVER bogged down while mowing tall grass but the 1023e doesn't seem to have the same level of power although the engines are very similar and the 1023e has a smaller deck. I debated the extra $1000. for the additional 2hp when deciding to purchase and now wish I had? The 1023e is great when I'm cutting firewood/cleaning up. Fuel gauge on 1023e seems to be afterthought compared to x495 dash gauge w/backlight. I tolerate the 1023e for mowing but it's great when using for front loader or tilling.

Quality,value added piece of euipment,and a wise investment.

I am 60 + years old and wanted a tractor and loader to handle heavy lifting and carry around tools and supplies for various projects around the yard and in my work shop so I wouldn't have to depend on someone to help me. It is like having a hired hand on call 24/7. It is so easy to remove the loader and attach the self connecting mower deck in about 5 minutes I can be ready to mow the grass.

Another winner

This is my fourth John Deere. I got this one for more leg room and comfort. I am a double amputee and this makes it a little easier to use. I have had no problem with the tractor at all. It would be nice if the cruise control was included in this model (1023E). I didn't need all the other features on the 1025R and couldn't justify the extra cost for just the cruise control. The Curtis cab that I purchased at the same time was another story. The design of the cab, in order to be used on this Tractor requires that the windshield be opened and swung up to permit the hood to be opened. Doesn't seem to be too bad except on closing the windshield one day it exploded in my face. Tempered glass is a poor choice for a windshield that requires opening and closing. Hopefully the replacement will last.

great tractor easy to operate

first time owning a compact tractor this tractor is as easy to operate better than some other makes I have seen

There are a few unresolved issues with this product.

The collection system I purchased with my 1023 has been for the most part a disappointment. It just does not pick up debris the way I have experienced my past systems working. I expected an improvement or at least as good as what I was replacing. Also the 3 point is lacking the ability to put it in a float mode which makes it very ineffective for grading and grooming driveways and landscapes. The snow thrower seems to plow snow at the edges and lets a wake of snow at the edges of every pass which requires a second pass to clean. I have made my dealer aware of all these complaints and have no resolve on any of the issues. They have opened cases on all issues with John Deere. I am happy the way the mower deck cuts grass, and have been pleased with the loader.

Great Tractor

I Love, Love. Love this tractor! If you find yourself where a lawn tractor isn't enough and a large tractor is to much, this is the tractor for you. It mows grass like a champ, and when attached to my 5 foot rear blade, drags rock up a 30 degree sloped driveway without a wimper.

Awesome tractor for the price.

I owned a 425 for 16 years, then upgraded to a 1023. The feature that I love most is the 4WD. Plows snow with no weights or chains. Power steering is effortless. Turns with one hand. I would recommend this tractor to anybody that wants a compact tractor.

Great tractor

Very handy and easy to use. wife even likes to use with loader

The ease of use is amazing.

I have use the 1023e for landscaping, lawn mowing, snow removal, pulling out bushes, gravel drive maintenance, digging up a septic tank and more. Having grown up on a farm with a variety of tractors, new and old, it actually took me a while to get use to the ease of use. I kept going for the clutch to go from forward to reverse. Great tractor and would recommend it to anyone.

I really enjoy my 1025R. It is a work horse for my needs!

The only problem I have had with it is the display had to be replaced and the dust cover on the steering cylinder broke. The display was replaced under warranty. The dust cover I replaced myself. the tractor is well built and the quality shows in the details. I use my tractor everyday on the farm and couldn't get along with out it. This is my second John Deere tractor and I wouldn't buy a different brand. I have several attachments for both tractors and they are easy to put on and take off. The iMatch is the best thing going for ease of operation with different attachments. The front end loader is so easy to install and remove which makes my life easier.

Pretty good tractor

It's my first so I have nothing to compare it with.

Excellent Sub Compact Tractor

I bought this tractor a year ago and I have been impressed since day one. I have over an acre with a steep hill in the back. I have a front end loader, 60 inch mower deck and a 4 foot box blade. The tractor hauls dirt, rock or whatever easily. Great tractor and I look forward to many years of service.

Very satisfied 1023E

I had some problems taking off the snowblower and installing the front end loader the first time. Had to take off more of the snowblower mounting brackets in order to hook up the loader. I would like to see more smaller attachments for the three point hitch mainly fertilizer spreader with 12 volt motor. I don't need the large power takeoff model in your lineup.

Product has good features should be a bit more heavy duty
