Go from mow to snow with compact tractors

Finding the right tools to care for your property can be a challenge, especially when you're managing several acres. You need something more powerful than a standard lawn mower, but not as large as a full-size tractor.

AKRS Equipment understands this need for efficient, versatile tools. They offer four series of John Deere’s compact tractors. Each series is designed to cater to different needs, and equipped with interchangeable attachments to help you get different kinds of jobs done.

When you need something powerful enough to get the job done, Nick Wessel, turf and commercial product manager at AKRS Equipment, suggests that the type of work you plan to do will guide you in choosing the right tractor.

Enjoy! And we found a Bell 206 Long Ranger spray helicopter perched on a support truck at the edge of the cornfields, and launching from there. In our video, you can occasionally hear the rotor sounds of the crop-dusting helicopter as we see the yellow Air Tractor in a nearby field.
