Drive-over deck makes connection simple

1 Family Tractors are designed to minimize the time and effort needed to switch-out implements to accommodate different jobs.

• AutoConnect Deck System: Connect a mid-mount mower deck to the tractor in less than 60 seconds without leaving the seat except to lock the gauge wheels.
  • Load-N-Go attachment: Easily move your 54D or 60D Autoconnect Deck with your John Deere Loader after it has been disconnected from the tractor with the Load-N-Go ramps.
• Quik-Park™ Loader System: 120R Quik-Park™ Loaders are designed for easy mounting and removal in about a minute, with no tools needed.
• Quik-Tatch™ front hitch: Save time switching front implements like a snow blower, rotary broom, or front blade without tools.
• iMatch™ quick-hitch: Easily hookup Category 1 implements in seconds using three fixed points to back in and pick up rear implements without leaving the seat
  • Position control hitch: Set the rear hitch height and then consistently lower the hitch to the exact height every time, which is especially useful in grading and leveling applications.
• Quik-Knect™ system: Connect power take-off (PTO)-driven implements quickly and with low physical effort. The Quik-Knect system utilizes one connector for the tractor’s PTO shaft and a designated connector for each implement which eliminates twisting and forcing splines to align.

1 Family Tractors can have up to three implements mounted simultaneously due to standard dual selective control valves (SCVs), allowing you to switch from using one implement to another without stopping to adjust. When a third SCV kit is added, the number of possible combinations is greatly increased.

Twin Touch™ pedals

The hydrostatic transmission’s infinite ground speeds and direction of travel are both controlled with the Twin Touch foot pedals.

• Ideal for loader or mower applications where frequent direction and speed changes are needed
• No clutching for fast direction changes
• Match the job at hand with infinite ground speeds

Standard 4WD and power steering make 1 Family Tractors excellent for mowing

Both 4WD and power steering are standard equipment on the 1 Family Tractors. This combination allows for excellent maneuverability and ease of operation.

• Narrow overall width allows you to work in tight areas where most compact tractors just cannot fit. The 144.8-cm (57-in.) wheel base and 119.4 cm (47 in.) overall width gives great stability for all types of terrain.
• Power steering means fewer turns of the steering wheel than manual steering, which is especially valuable when mowing around obstacles or during front loader work.
• High horsepower-to-weight ratio makes the 1 Family Tractors a good choice for a variety of tasks. The overall tractor weight reduces ground compaction and makes them excellent for mowing.
• The fully-independent power take-off (PTO) allows engaging and disengaging of the PTO without stopping tractor movement. This is important when driving across obstacles such as driveways while mowing.

Open operator's station (1025R shown)

The 1023E open operator station is designed for greater comfort and increased visibility.

Comfortable operation  

• Thick, textured rubber floor mat reduces vibrations and absorbs shock and noise.
• Step-through flat platform and fender-mounted handrails make it easy to get on and off the tractor from either side.
• Controls are conveniently located next to the fenders and are color-coded for quick identification.
• Easy-lift hood with dual gas-charged lift struts as standard equipment. A simple flip of the latch lets you open the rugged composite hood, providing wide open access to the engine compartment.
• Foldable rollover protective structure (ROPS) keeps you protected during operation and improves the ability to store tractor in a garage.

Foldable Roll-Gard ROPS

Foldable Roll-Gard™ ROPS is standard equipment on 1023E.

Increased visibility

Standard (and optional) lighting shown

• Sloping hood design provides improved visibility especially during front loader work
• Standard lighting equipment allows you to work from early in the morning to late at night:
  • Two front-mounted sealed-beam halogen headlights
  • Two amber-flashing warning/hazard lights mounted on the side of the ROPS with reflectors
  • Built-in tail light on one warning/hazardous light
  • Additional front- and rear-light kits are available

iMatch Quick-Hitch with rotary cutter hookup (LVB25255)

iMatch Quick-Hitch (LVB25976)

iMatch Quick-Hitch with rotary cutter hookup (LVB25976)

One of the greatest customer concerns involves difficulty in attaching tractor implements. John Deere has addressed this issue with the iMatch Quick-Hitch.

The iMatch Quick-Hitch provides easy hookup and a guaranteed fit for all Category 1 implements that are designed to meet the ASAE Category 1 Standard S278.6 for quick-attach hitches.

• All implements require a set of bushings in order for the attachment to fit and work properly with the iMatch Quick-Hitch. One set of bushings comes with the iMatch Quick-Hitch.

NOTE: In the picture above, you see the bushing set. These bushings allow the hooks on the iMatch and the pins on the implement to fit together properly. All other implements (box blades, tillers, rear blades, etc.) will require a set of bushings to enlarge the pin to fit with the iMatch hooks. Bushings of different lengths can be found in the parts system or through a bushing supplier (see dimensions below).

• Upper bushing
  • Inside diameter: 0.76-0.77 in.
  • Outside diameter: 1.24-1.25 in.

• Lower bushings
  • Inside diameter: 0.88 to 0.89 in.
  • Outside diameter: 1.43 to 1.44 in.

iMatch quick-coupler bushing kit

This bushing kit is for use with Category 1 implements (ballast box) to make them function correctly with the iMatch Quick-Hitch.

Tire chains

Tire chains increase traction dramatically under ice and snow conditions.

NOTE: Not intended for use on all four rear tires on the TH 6x4.

One or two 23-kg (50-lb) cast-iron weights may be installed on each rear wheel to provide extra traction and stability.

• Made of durable cast iron and painted John Deere yellow
• May be installed with wheel in either the narrow or wide position
• To stack the weights and install two on a wheel, two 1/2x8-in. bolts are required per wheel (not furnished)

23-kg (50-lb) plastic-shell rear-wheel weight

One 23-kg (50-lb) plastic-shell rear-wheel weight may be installed on each rear wheel to provide extra traction and stability.

• Outer shell made of tough polyethylene plastic
• Filled with a heavy granular material that contains a high iron percentage
• A bonding substance is added to hold the material together so that it will remain intact even if shell is damaged

Multiple stacking is not recommended.

Overall width of the tractor will be increased by approximately 5 cm (2 in.) when weights are installed.

Schematic of weight installed on wheel

Weights are packaged one per carton, with necessary hardware for installation on a wheel, in either the narrow or wide position.
