Best Tractor Packages for Small Texas Farms

If you're working a smaller amount of land, our 1023E Sunshine Package is a real winner. The 23-horsepower John Deere 1023E is ready to tackle your daily chores. The loader moves hay bales and feed around your property, while the shredder keeps your fence lines clean. This little powerhouse handles everything from maintaining horse pastures to clearing brush around the barn.

The 1025R Bluebonnet Package steps up to 25 horsepower and gives you that extra muscle for thicker Texas vegetation. It's the perfect size tractor for navigating between fruit trees in orchards while still having enough power to shred overgrown areas.

Medium-Sized Tractor Package Solutions

For those 20 to 50-acre medium-sized properties, the 3025D Texas Thistle and 3025E Alamo Packages will give you a ton of success. The 3025D offers a reliable mechanical simplicity and easy servicing access that many Texas ranchers prefer, while the 3025E adds electronic conveniences like the hydrostatic transmission with Twin Touch pedals that make long days more comfortable.

Both 25-horsepower models handle serious ranch work, from maintaining miles of fence line to managing food plots for wildlife. The included box blade is perfect for keeping your ranch roads smoother, and the loader is a fantastic and indispensable tool during hay season.

Large Tractor Package Solutions

When you're managing serious acreage, our 3032E Honeysuckle Package delivers 32 horsepower that covers ground fast. This is where John Deere's engineering really shines; this tractor will help you tackle thick native grasses and mesquite brush that would bog down smaller tractors.

Our 3043D Cattleman Package is the heavy hitter for large operations. At 43 horsepower, this beast handles the toughest Texas terrain. The included shredder helps to quickly clear overgrown pastures. The time savings compared to smaller equipment quickly pay for itself.

Tractor Package Components That Transform Your Operation

Every package includes these four game-changing attachments and implements.

Loader: Moves feed, hay, gravel, and debris, and saves your back and hours of manual labor.
Shredder: Maintains pastures, clears fence lines, and manages brush growth.
