John Deere's 1 Series tractor uses AutoConnect to make attaching and detaching the deck faster and easier than Kubota's BX model. The system eliminates the manual work of traditional connections, letting you swap attachments without getting off the tractor.
Only with a one family tractor can you attach our exclusive Auto Connect deck in no time at all without ever leaving your seat. Let's take a look. With the transmission in range A and four wheel drive engaged, lower the mid mount lift system and drive over the deck ramps. As you do, the PTO shaft connects automatically. Then listen for the click which indicates the deck is attached. Set the gauge wheels and you're ready to mow. Now compare that to the Kubota BX deck mounting system. There's no driving over the deck here. With the Kubota bx, you park next to it, get off the tractor and slide the heavy deck underneath by hand. Not an easy chore by any means. Then you connect the PTO by hand, attach the deck by securing the latches by hand, and finally attach the front mounting bracket. After getting back on the tractor, you're finally ready to mow. And when you're finished mowing, the Auto Connect is so easy you can quickly remove the deck just by undoing one latch and getting back on the tractor. The Auto Connect deck for the one Family subcompact makes attaching and detaching faster and easier than with any other tractor in its class. Just another reason why common sense innovation from John Deere makes a one family tractor a very smart investment.
