New Implements for 1023E and 1025R Models are perfect for Michigan homeowners and property managers looking to simplify tasks and improve operator productivity
Tri County Equipment in the thumb of Michigan is happy to carry the two newly announced John Deere compact utility tractor implements—the 260B Backhoe and the 120R Loader. Both small tractor attachments have improved features and are designed to increase productivity for commercial and residential landscaping work.
Powerful and efficient tractor attachments are nothing new for John Deere equipment owners, but the John Deere news post about these new tractor implements provides a bit more insight:
"When designing our latest backhoe and loader models, we listened to customer feedback, making key changes to improve operator ease and productivity," said DeMark Cole, Product Specialist for Compact Utility Tractors. "The 260B and 120R retain the features that customers loved from previous models, and include updates to simplify tasks, including implement attachment and detachment, and routine maintenance."
Both the 260B Backhoe and 120R Loader work great with the 1023E and 1025R compact utility tractor models that have been very popular in 2017, with features and functionality to make these already durable and useful products a fantastic fit for Michigan land owners and maintenance managers of larger properties.
