Buying Used John Deere Tractors for Sale Online

When looking at name brand tractors, there's no doubt that John Deere is a name you can trust. With well over 150 years of service, John Deere said it best himself: "I will never put my name on a product that does not have in it the best that is in me." You'll find used John Deere tractors to be amongst the best investment in all tractors for sale you come across, for their reliability, versatility and ease of use. When looking to purchase John Deere tractors for sale, look for tractor size and functionality:

Tractor size

Depending on what attachments you'll use (e.g. box blades, mower decks), you'll need an amply-sized Deere tractor to accommodate it.

Looking for something a little smaller? Compact tractors might be the right choice. Look toward the John Deere 3320 as a top choice, with its 32.5 horsepower, 3-cylinder Yanmar diesel engine, including a direct-injection fuel system, dual hydraulic pumps and a digital speedometer. While not as hefty as their larger counterparts, the 3320 compact tractor can handle moderate loads.

John Deere tractors feature unique transmission features; namely LoadMatch, MotionMatch and PowrReverser. LoadMatch makes the most out of the tractor's torque by adjusting transmission speed when in use, with an additional benefit of eliminating engine stalls. MotionMatch adjusts transmission speeds through the usage of a button when using various tasks such as mowing and cultivating. PowrReverser is a manual transmission type that makes loading easy, with clutchless shifting between forward and reverse. It is still the only tractor brand on the market with this Power Reverse feature.

For a compact tractor with a little more punch, look toward the John Deere 4720. By contrast, its 58 horsepower, 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel Deere engine (Power Tech) includes a 75-amp alternator to supply power to your attachments. Its Twin Touch eHydro transmission, 4WD, performance tracking system provides the features you'll need for heavy duty work. It also contains a rear power take-off, digital speedometer and many other premium additions.

Tractor Functionality

The tractor should be functional inside, and in good condition outside. Inquire about the condition of the internals (especially the engine and drive train), as well as asking about chassis wear and tear.

In terms of the tractor's capabilities, your next used John Deere tractor should be suited for either winter work or spring work. You'll need a cab, either way - it will enable you to work in snow or heavy rain. Several popular John Deere tractors with cabs include the 3320, 3520, 3720, 4320, 4520 and 4720.
