Top 5 Compact Utility Tractor Implements for Spring Yard Clean-Up

The snow is melting, the days are warming up and it is almost time to get out into the yard to start Spring Clean-Up. There are lots of attachments available for your John Deere Compact Tractor to make yard work easy and enjoyable! Read on for our top 5 Spring Clean-Up Implements.

Frontier Landscape Rake

One of the handiest attachments is the Landscape Rake with a set of gauge wheels. It can be used for gathering tree limbs that have fallen over the Winter months, just adjust the gauge wheels to the correct height so the rake teeth just skim the grass, this will gather all limbs into one pile rather than picking up branch by branch. The Landscape Rake can also be used for raking unwanted rocks on the lawn back onto the driveway.

Frontier Rear Blade
The 3-pt hitch Rear Blade is very versatile, it can be used for multiple jobs around the yard including draining spring run-off, re-contouring your drive-way after the ground thaws, or spreading new dirt or gravel for landscaping projects.

Frontier Rotary Tiller
A new season means turning the soil over, and whether you are putting in a new garden or prepping the soil for another year of gardening a 3-pt hitch Rotary Tiller will get your seedbed broken into the perfect texture so it is ready for planting. They;re designed to help you break through even the toughest terrain. A Tiller is also a great tool for weed control around windbreaks and tree lines.

Frontier Aerator
Freshen up your lawn with a 3-pt hitch Aerator. As an Aerator moves over your lawn, the tubes will dig into the ground making holes in the ground. This allows air, water and nutrients to reach deep into the ground and promotes root growth.

Frontier Broadcast Spreader
Add a Spreader to your implement fleet, to spread fertilizer or a top coat of seed over your grass in the Spring. Combined with the Aerator your lawn will be the envy of all your neighbours. A Spreader is also useful during the thawing season to spread salt or sand over ice on the cool mornings.

These are Martin Deerline’s top picks for Spring Clean-Up but there are over 600 Frontier Implements that will assist you with the tasks around your yard. View the full line of implements here.

John Deere Tractors Turn 100

John Deere entered the farm tractor business in March 1918 through the acquisition of the Waterloo Gasoline Engine Company. For the past century, John Deere tractors have been the machines that best portray agricultural productivity. In observance of the 100^th anniversary of producing tractors, John Deere is connecting the pride of the past with the promise of the future.

Watch the short video below that takes you through the generations of John Deere tractors.

The Waterloo Boy tractor was John Deere’s first tractor in 1918. The tractor continued to be sold under the Waterloo Boy name until the John Deere Model D tractor was introduced in 1923. The 100-year legacy of the John Deere tractor is one of evolution and innovation. Today, leading-edge products such as the 9620RX - 4 track tractor, further advance the legacy.

Waterloo Boy was first introduced by John Deere March 14, 2018.

“Starting with the Waterloo Boy to the next generation of tractors being sold today, John Deere has focused on delivering innovative products to meet the needs of our clients” explained Wayne Peyre, Martin Deerline General Manager. “The purchase of Waterloo Boy was a turning point in John Deere’s history and has led to the company becoming a one stop solution for agricultural producers, and homeowners alike. Deere’s focus on quality, innovation, and a commitment to clients has led to once again being recognized as one of Fortune Magazine’s 2018 World’s Most Admired Companies.” 

To commemorate the centennial of tractors, all 2018 model agriculture tractors will come with a commemorative decal. Martin Deerline will also be hosting some events in conjunction with our Customer Appreciation Days this Spring and Summer. Watch for more details to come! 

Oil & Filter Sale On Now

Get ready for the arrival of Spring and the busy few months ahead by stocking up on oil, filters, grease and coolant so your equipment is ready for the busy season. 

Our annual Oil & Filter sale is on now! Save 10% on oil and if you purchase 100 liters this month you will lock in the 10% discount for the remainder of 2018. 

Why use John Deere oil? 

Over the last 28 years, John Deere engine oils have gotten better and better. Today, cutting-edge chemistry and countless reformulations have resulted in the most advanced oils we've ever produced. It isn't just about improving our products. It's about the right oil for the job. 

John Deere engineers have been constantly improving our engine oil to be without question the best engine oil you can put in your John Deere equipment. And Plus-50 II takes engine oil to the next level. It lasts up to 500 hours in your John Deere equipment, providing superior protection in high-heat engines.

And don't forget about stocking up on hydraulic oil. Your machine depends on hydraulic oil to do so much – and if your oil can’t protect your entire system just right, you may find yourself with a down machine.

That’s why you need John Deere Hy-Gard transmission and hydraulic oil. It’s developed and tested by John Deere engineers who make sure it’s the best option for your equipment. And it’s been proven time and time again. Don’t risk it with lesser hydraulic fluids. Make sure you have the best.

We also have a wide array of filters for John Deere and Non-John Deere brands of equipment. Visit your local Martin Deerline to get all the oil and filters you need for the equipment and vehicles on your farm or acreage.
