John Deere Implements: Which Ones Are For You?
The investment in a John Deere tractor can be intimidating. We know that a compact tractor can be expensive but in many scenarios it will save you time and money in the long run. Part of making that investment work for you is equipping it with the right tools - are you gardening, landscaping, farming, scraping? Tackle these tasks and many more with the correct attachments and implements. Here's our guide to picking the right implements for your tractor.

Popular and Versatile
Some of the most popular implements are widely loved for their versatility. With an implement like a loader, you can accomplish several tasks like leveling or scraping your driveway, hauling materials, minor digging projects and more. Here's a short list of our most popular implements and the chores you might accomplish with them.
Loader
A loader is essential in many tasks that you might accomplish with your tractor. If you're hauling expensive materials, liquids, etc., consider a Mechanical Self-Leveling (MSL) Loader to minimize material losses. View all loader variations to learn more about individual models and tractor compatibility.
Rotary Cutter
If you're only mowing your lawn, consider a simple option like the AutoConnect™ Mid-Mount mower deck, easily attached in under a minute. If you're dealing with more property, rougher grounds, roadsides or fenced-in properties, a rotary cutter is a great option for cutting grass, weeds and brush down to size in one pass.
Backhoe
A backhoe can be very beneficial in digging, landscaping and even laying pipework. One of John Deere's most popular Backhoe models is the 260B with a lift capacity of 285 lbs.
Box Blade
The BB2048L will allow you to easily level, skim and grade uneven ground like dirt or gravel lots or driveways. With a fixed or floating tailgate and easily replaceable shanks, this box blade will allow you to treat your grounds to your desire.
Specialties
Some jobs, unlike those listed above, require a very specific tool. If you're working on any of the tasks listed below, we'll help guide you through finding the implement that will help save you some time and labor.
Digging Post Holes
Digging post holes is a difficult task to carry out by hand. Save your time and energy with a Frontier Post Hole Digger. The PHD100 is capable of digging up to 36 in. deep and only requires 15-25 PTO power.
Treating Soil
The Frontier Core Aerator is a great tool for maximizing air, water and nutrient circulation. A Frontier Rotary Tiller will help to put the final touches on your garden or seedbed's soil with skid shoes for easy depth control.
Seed and Fertilizer Distribution
Consider the Frontier Broadcast Spreader or Pendular Spreader to evenly distribute seed or fertilizer of varying sizes quickly and easily.
Tractor Packages
Tractor packages are a great place to start in pairing a useful implement with a versatile tractor. Buying a tractor package will save you money, too: they are cheaper than individually purchasing a tractor and implements separately. While we aren't currently promoting any tractor package specials, keep an eye out for a promotion that may be great for you.
