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.

Video: Kansas Wheat Harvest 2026 | Three John Deere S7 700 Combines in Action

Kansas Wheat Harvest 2026 is underway near Alden, Kansas!

In this video, I spend time with Frederick Harvesting, a custom harvesting operation based in Alden, Kansas. Back at their home farm, three new John Deere S7 700 combines equipped with John Deere HDF40 draper heads work through a drought-stricken winter wheat crop while one of the farm's John Deere 8R 370 tractors pulls a Brent 1398 grain cart.

Most of the Frederick Harvesting crew was already busy cutting wheat in southwest Kansas, but these machines remained at home to finish up local fields. Throughout the video, I explain what is happening, discuss the effects of dry conditions on the crop, and capture plenty of aerial footage showing the combines working with the grain elevator at Alden in the background.
