A new addition to John Deere
A new addition to John Deereās compact tractor range is the 2R series.
The 26hp 2026R is ideal for operating in more confined spaces, says Deere, while the 36hp 2036R has a wider footprint and longer wheelbase, combined with increased tractor weight for better stability.
Both models offer ergonomic controls, a tiltable steering wheel and cruise control. The 2036R also offers a premium air suspension seat and the CommandCut mower deck lift system. There is the choice of open operator station or cab.
The new CommandCut system for the mid-mounted rotary mower deck on the 2036R provides cutting height adjustment with the turn of a dial and the nudge of a lever.
Both models also have Twin Touch foot controls, which simplify the selection of speed and direction of travel. An eThrottle feature allows the machine to automatically increase or decrease engine speed as required, while standard cruise control keeps ground speed consistent.
Independent ptos allow front, mid and rear-mounted implements to be attached at the same time. AutoConnect mid-mounted mower decks are easy to attach and remove for higher productivity, while new QuikAttach 120R and 220R front loaders are designed specifically for the 2R Series.
Additional benefits are provided by the new John Deere designed and manufactured front hitch options. The 2036R also features an electric lock-out valve so that the operator can easily lock the hitch in the transport position with the flick of a switch from the tractor seat.
