The Top Compact Tractors for Heavy Duty Work
If you’re looking for a rugged, tough tractor that can handle all the work you throw at it without being grossly oversized, we have a few machines in mind for you. John Deere’s 3D tractors are made for getting into the nitty gritty and pulling more than their fair share of the workload, all so you can get jobs done efficiently and quickly. These tractors are built to last with durable, premium quality parts. The 3D series is a no frills, all flex lineup. If you want workhorses, let us introduce you to them.
Meet The Tractors
Why They Stand Out
Gear-Driven Transmission
Each of the three tractors in the 3D lineup feature a rugged drivetrain and an 8F/8R Gear Drive Transmission. With 2 ranges and 4 speeds in each, you have more than enough gears to find the perfect sweet spot to operate the tractor for each job. The drivetrain on these tractors is built with heavy-duty parts that are designed to endure years of hard labor.
Strong Drawbar and 3 Point Hitch
If you’re looking at the tractors, you’re wanting a machine that can haul heavy loads without buckling, and that’s exactly what you’ll get. The three-point hitches on the 3D tractors can handle almost 1,600 lbs, that’s a lot of weight for small tractors. These tractors prove small doesn’t mean weak. In addition, these machines also have incredible drawbar strength. Whether you're hauling hay or pulling a wagon, these machines were built ready.
Large Fuel Tank
A key part to seeing if a tractor is going to be able to keep up with your work pace is checking its fuel capacity. John Deere’s 3D tractors come standard equipped with 10-gallon fuel tanks that are conveniently located on the rear of the tractor. Not only can these tractors run for a full 8 hours, but when it is finally time to fill it up again, it’s easy and hassle-free.
