7/12/2024
We all know that purchasing a tractor is a long-term investment, and you want it to pay itself off. The easiest way to ensure that you’re getting your money’s worth is to find plenty of ways to use it - one of the most popular uses is mowing. That’s why we’re here to break down all the ways you can turn your John Deere compact tractor into a mower.
For finish mowing on lawns of any size, you’ve got a couple options. The most economical and compact choice is the Drive-Over AutoConnect™ Mid-Mount mower deck. For more cutting area, a rear-mounted grooming mower is a great way to cover some ground. Finish mowing implements range in cutting width from 4’ to 17’, with cutting heights from 1” to 5”. With such a range in cutting abilities, you’re sure to find the right mower for your property, no matter the size.
At Wright Implement, we offer exclusive deals on tractor packages, pairing a John Deere 1023E or 1025R with your choice of attachments, including the 60D AutoConnect™ mower deck - an easy budget-friendly way to get your get your hands on a multi-use John Deere mower.
You can attach this mower deck in a matter of minutes without even leaving the driver’s seat. All you have to do is line up your wheels, and drive over the deck ramps. Once you hear the PTO attach, you can lock in the gauge wheels, adjust to your desired cutting height and get to mowing!
For rough mowing - think bush hogging, ditch maintenance, clearing brush and small trees - we’ve got a couple suggestions. For the rougher jobs, a rotary cutter is ideal. You can clear an overgrown, weedy pasture in no time and no trouble, even on thicker brush. Although a flail mower can also handle rougher mowing jobs, it’ll be a little slower than the rotary cutter. As a result of their design and their slower cut, a flail mower produces a more manicured look by distributing the cut grasses evenly. Finally, it’s important to take the land itself into consideration - a flail mower is more flexible than a rotary cutter, and is less easily damaged by debris or rocks.
There are a lot of moving parts when it comes to picking the best implements for your tractor. For mowing attachments, you’ll need to consider factors like the size and features of your property, your tractor’s compatibility and PTO power, and much more. Take some of the guesswork out of the equation, and contact your local Wright Implement for answers to any of your questions - our experts are here to help.
