5/5/2025
Spring has officially arrived in Kentucky! That means it’s the perfect time to get to work on that landscaping project you’ve been dreaming of. Whether you’re tackling overgrown brush, prepping lawns for seeding, or giving your property a full makeover, the right equipment will make all the difference–and buying used can help you stretch your budget. If you’re a Kentucky homeowner, landscaper, or small farm operator, here’s a quick look at some of the best used equipment for your upcoming spring projects.
When it comes to versatility, it’s hard to beat a John Deere compact tractor. For homeowners and landscapers, machines like the John Deere 1023E, 1025R, and 2025R are ideal for everything from mowing and grading to hauling mulch and light tillage. With the right attachments–like a loader, box blade, or rotary cutter–you can handle nearly every aspect of spring cleaning and landscaping.
Why you should consider buying used:
If you’re working in tight spaces or need high maneuverability, a used skid steer or track loader will be a great addition to your tool kit. Models like the John Deere 317G or 320G offer plenty of lifting power and a wide range of available attachments like buckets, trenchers, landscape rakes, and more.
Quick tip: tracked equipment has the advantage when working in muddy spring conditions. Keep this in mind when considering the best option for your property.
It’s mowing season, after all. In Kentucky, you know the mowing season comes fast. Keep an eye out for used John Deere ZTrak zero-turn mowers. They’re a great investment for residential and commercial use, offering:
Spring is the season of growth! An aeration system–like the Frontier Core Aerator–can make all the difference in your garden or lawn this year by reducing compaction and encouraging healthier turf.
If you’re managing a larger property or need to transport tools, mulch, and more, a John Deere Gator UTV can save you time, money, and a lot of energy! Gator models like the XUV835M are popular for their high cargo capacity, off-road capability, and comfort. With plenty of units coming with cabs, lights, or winches, the used market is a great place to browse for Gators.
