6/25/2025
Whether you’re managing a few acres, a large lawn, or running a landscaping business, you know that the right equipment makes all the difference. John Deere’s compact tractors are compatible with a wide range of attachments, making them ideal for landscapers and landowners needing a versatile tool for small- to mid-sized projects. Here, we’re highlighting some essential implements and attachments to take your landscaping and property management to the next level.
No tractor is truly complete without a loader bucket. This tool is the most widely used because of its versatility. For everything from moving mulch, gravel, or soil to clearing snow or smoothing your driveway, this attachment will see plenty of use around your property. The 120R Quick-Park Loader is ideal for smaller tractors like the 1 Series, allowing you to switch between tasks in a matter of minutes.
Tip: Leave the heavy lifting to the heavy equipment! DIYers and small-scale landscapers alike will benefit from letting the tractor do the lifting.
Check out Frontier’s BB Series box blades for leveling driveways, spreading gravel, maintaining erosion, and more. The box blade is your go-to for all grading and surface-smoothing projects–especially maintaining gravel roads, leveling pads, and cleaning up storm runoff.
Tip: Use the adjustable scarifiers to help break up compacted soil.
A rotary cutter is a must-have for managing overgrown fields, trails, and other areas with heavy brush. The Frontier RC series is built to handle everything from weeds to saplings, making them perfect small farms, orchards, and rural properties.
Why It’s Important: Proper maintenance of overgrowth can help to reduce fire hazards and keep your property looking tidy without needing a whole crew.
A Frontier LR Series landscape rake makes cleaning up rocks, sticks, and other debris easier than ever. A landscape rake is ideal for prepping seedbeds, refreshing gravel areas, and more. This is a great tool for boosting curb appeal and keeping higher-traffic areas safe.
While a post hole digger is great for building fences, you’ll find plenty of use for them when your fencing project is done! The Frontier PHD Series is an essential tool for fencebuilding, planting trees, installing signs, and more.
Time is Money: A post hole digger is a great way to speed up those repetitive digging jobs and deliver a consistent finish every time.
From seeding new lawns to spreading fertilizer and ice melt, a Frontier Broadcast Spreader delivers even distribution over large areas. These attachments are excellent for year-round property maintenance.
A rear blade is a must-have for clearing snow, grading soil, and maintaining drainage systems. The Frontier Rear Blade is designed to withstand heavy use all year long. Tilt, angle, and offset features offer the flexibility to adapt to varied tasks and terrains.
