John Deere 1050
The John Deere 1050 compact utility tractor is the largest in the series that also includes the John Deere 850, the John Deere 650 and the John Deere 750 tractors. The JD 1050 is available with either a 4X4 MFWD 4WD or a 4X2 2WD chassis, depending on your needs. Whether you choose a 4X4 or a 4X2 model, they both come with the same engine. This is a Yanmar 3 cylinder model that has a total displacement of 1.7 liters. The engine is turbocharged and has a dual paper air filter fitted to filter dust and other particulate matter from the air intake before it enters the engine. A 6.2 liter liquid cooling system prevents the Yanmar engine from overheating.
The fuel tank that supplies the John Deere 1050 with diesel can hold up to 41.6 liters (11 US gallons). The engine powers the hydraulic system which in turn powers many of the attachments. These include things like JD 75 and JD 80 front loaders as well as the rear hitch (category 1). The engine powers the wheels through a transmission that gives it 8 speeds going forwards and 2 when it’s reversing. The top speed of the JD 1050 is 20.1 kph (12.5 mph).
The John Deere 1050 compact utility tractor does not come with a cab as standard. Instead it has a 2 post ROPS (roll over protection system), so if you do plan on using it in areas with severe weather, you may consider either another machine that does have a cab or perhaps you could build your own.

Mine has some problems. The wholesale for the worst condition according to the Tractor Bluebook, is just over $5000. I bought mine for $3500, so I knew there would be some issues. It works though and is safe and that is as good a start as I can hope for. I certainly got a lot more tractor for my money than the 2005 John Deere 790 MFWD I used to have for over 4 times as much. Mine has a power steering kit which doesn’t work, the hydraulics seem a bit out of whack as I do not have the exact positioning ability I ought to have with the 3 point hitch. The PTO does not stop when I depress the clutch all the way and the PTO engagement is difficult. The tractor shifts and operates well though and the dealer made sure it had a seat belt and that all the light worked too.
