John Deere Australia offers several series of compact and sub-compact tractors, including the 1, 2, 3, and 4 Series, which are designed for a range of tasks from light property maintenance to more demanding work requiring higher horsepower and larger implements. The 1-4 Series tractors are built with features like hydrostatic or PowrReverser™ transmissions, optional ComfortGard™ cabs, Category 1 hitches, and options for both open stations and enclosed cabs to suit different needs and climates in Australia.
Series Overview:
1 Series (1023E, 1025R): The smallest in the lineup, this sub-compact tractor is designed for easy, affordable operation and handles light property tasks. It features a hydrostatic transmission, 4WD, power steering, and a foldable ROPS.
2 Series (2025R, 2038R): These are the “mini landscapers,” offering more power and capability than the 1 Series, with hydrostatic transmissions and larger hitch capacities.
3 Series (3038E, 3039R, 3046R): This series provides a balance of power and comfort, with options for gear or hydrostatic transmissions, allowing for larger implements and tasks than the 1 and 2 Series.
