Easy operation four-wheel drive (4WD) and power steering

Both 4WD and power steering are standard equipment on the 1023E. This combination allows for excellent maneuverability and ease of operation of the tractor.

Narrow overall width allows the 1023E to work in tight areas where most compact tractors just can't fit, yet the 144.8 cm (57-in.) wheel base and 119.4 cm (47-in.) overall width gives great stability for all type of terrains.
Power steering requires less effort than manual steering; especially valuable when mowing around obstacles or when the tractor is used with a front loader.
High horsepower-to-weight ratio makes the 1023E a good choice for a variety of tasks; overall tractor weight reduces ground compaction and makes the 1023E an excellent mowing tractor.
The power take-off (PTO) on the 1023E is fully independent PTO, allowing engaging and disengaging of the PTO without stopping tractor movement. This is important when driving across obstacles such as driveways while mowing.

Fast and easy implement changeover

Front Quik-Tatch™ hitch makes changing front implements quick and easy
All front implements (blade, brooms, and snow blowers) use a common hitch
AutoConnect™ mid-mount mower decks, D120 and H120 Loaders, and 260 Backhoe can be taken on or off within 5 minutes, and no tools are necessary
Changing rear implements is a snap with the iMatch^TM Quick-Hitch, which has three fixed points to back in and pick up a rear implement that is iMatch compatible

*Features shown are available with all current model year tractors.

Implement compounding improves efficiency

Implement compounding (1025R Tractor shown)

Allows mounting more than one implement at a time, eliminating implement changeover
Loader, mid mower, backhoe, and a variety of 3-point hitch implements can be attached to the tractor at the same time

Compact, high-performance, 3-cylinder isolated diesel engine with low vibration

3-cylinder Yanmar TNM Series diesel engine

This series of engines was developed to meet Tier 4 environmental protection agency (EPA) environmental requirements by featuring low levels of both exhaust and emissions.

Model	Number of cylinders	Engine displacement	Gross engine hp (PS)	power take-off (PTO) hp
1023E	3	0.993 L	22.4	16.5

Yanmar TNM Series engine offers these features:

Economical for good cooling and long life
Isolated engine provides reduced vibration and noise for the operator; indirect fuel injection uses a pre-combustion chamber to give the engine a smooth and quiet operation; aluminum alloy piston with built-in steel struts are lightweight to reduce connection rod bearing loads and provide good heat transfer characteristics
- Design permits tighter tolerances and neutralizes expansion of the piston, thereby reducing blow-by gas and less noise from the piston slap
- Higher top rings on the piston and a thinner-head gasket greatly reduces the volume of unburned waste gases and increases combustion efficiency
Timing-gear teeth have a designed roll-off profile giving almost no clash, no noise, and no backlash
High-torque reserve provides plenty of power under heavy load, yet retains excellent fuel economy
Fuel filter with replaceable element
Full-pressure lubrication system provides filtered oil under pressure to all vital engine parts
Glow plugs provide quick starts in temperatures down to 18°C (0°F). (Optional engine coolant heater attachment will assist starting under more extreme conditions.)
Auto-bleed fuel system means there is no special bleeding required if the tractor runs out of fuel; this system will self-prime the injection pump, lines, and injectors, providing fast fuel recovery
Key start and shut off eliminates fuel shut-off knob
Electric solenoid shuts fuel supply off immediately when key is turned off
See-through coolant recovery tank permits operator to check coolant level without removing radiator cap
Dry-type air cleaner with safety element keeps dirt and other contaminants out of the engine
- Safety element (second filter) will protect engine if primary filter would develop a leak
- Protects engine when servicing primary filter
Side-screen panels and front-grille screen provide excellent flow of air to the engine compartment
Sealed-radiator compartment keeps trash and debris on outside of hood
Single-piece side panels can be removed for easy and quick access to the engine
Horizontal exhaust discharges fumes away from the operator station, reducing noise and improving operator visibility and comfort

Hydrostatic transmission (HST) with Twin Touch™ foot controls

The 1023E and 1025R Tractors feature a HST.

Fluid under pressure transmits engine power to the drive wheels through a hydraulic pump and motor
The hydrostatic-drive unit functions both as a clutch and transmission

Twin Touch foot controls

Twin Touch foot controls allow selecting both speed and direction of travel with a touch of the toe. Ideally suited for jobs where productivity is a must, such as loader or mower applications.

Infinite ground speeds, even at full throttle, to match the job
No clutching for fast direction changes
Faster, easier, and more precise to operate than competitive tractors with treadle pedal design (toe-heel)
Provides high torque for start up
Reduces power train shock loads
Large foot pedals were designed for operator comfort and allow for convenient operation of the tractor

Two-speed transmission

Transmission has two speeds - Hi and Lo range.

The range lever is located next to the seat, conveniently within reach of the operator
Lo range allows performing tougher tasks at higher speeds than competitive tractors equipped with a three-range transmission (that is, lo range on three-speed transaxle is slower than lo range on a two-speed transaxle)

Durability features include:

Large forged one-piece trunnion shaft with larger support bearings that reduce vibration and noise.
Innovative transaxle combines an HST, gear reduction axle, and clutch.
Pressure side filtration allows using a finer-mesh filter (10 micron) than suction filtration systems use on many competitive tractors.
One pump to supply charge pressure and implement flow. A flow divider splits the flow to various circuits throughout the tractor.
The transaxle has an oil cooler which provides improved hydraulic cooling performance.

Open operator's station is comfortable and convenient

Open operator's station (1025R shown)

The 1023E operator's station has been designed to allow for greater operator comfort and increased visibility. Large and easy-to-grab handrails are located on each fender for an easier on and off of the tractor from either side.

Sloping hood design provides improved visibility
Operator station provides plenty of room for comfortable operation
Step-through textured flat operator station makes getting on and off the tractor easy from either side of the tractor
Fender-mounted handrails are large and easy to grab; located on each fender, they assist the operator in getting on and off the tractor
Controls are located next to the fenders for operator convenience
Operator controls are color-coded for easy identification of operation
Front-horizontal exhaust for increased operator visibility

*Features shown are available on current model year tractors.

Operator presence system

If the operator leaves the tractor seat when the transmission, mid- or rear-power take-off (PTO) is engaged, the engine will shut down

Foldable Roll-Gard ROPS

Foldable Roll-Gard™ rollover protective structure (ROPS) and retractable seat belt are standard equipment to protect the operator in the event of a tractor tip over, as well as improve the ability to store tractor in a garage.

Seat belt is within easy reach of the operator, to encourage the use of it whenever operating the tractor.

*Features shown are available on current model year tractors.

Lighting

Standard lighting shown

Standard equipment lighting includes:

Two front-mounted sealed-beam halogen headlights
Two amber flashing warning/hazard lights mounted on the side of the ROPS with reflectors
Built-in tail light on one warning/hazardous light
Additional front- and rear-light kits are available

*Features shown are available on current model year tractors.

Optional iMatch™ Quick-Hitch feature allows for easy implement hookup

iMatch Quick-Hitch

iMatch Quick-Hitch with rotary cutter hookup

iMatch Quick-Hitch (LVB25976)

iMatch Quick-Hitch with rotary cutter hookup (LVB25976)

One of the greatest operator concerns involves difficulty in attaching tractor implements. John Deere has addressed this issue with the iMatch Quick-Hitch.

The iMatch Quick-Hitch provides easy hookup and a guaranteed fit for all Category 1 implements that are designed to meet the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) Category 1 Standard S278.6 for quick-attach hitches.

All implements require a set of bushings in order for the attachment to fit and work properly with the iMatch Quick-Hitch. One set of bushings comes with the iMatch Quick-Hitch.

NOTE: The bushing set can be seen in the picture above. These bushings allow the hooks on the iMatch and the pins on the implement to fit together properly. All other implements (box blades, tillers, rear blades, etc.) will require a set of bushings to enlarge the pin to fit with the iMatch hooks. Bushings of different lengths can be found in the parts system or through a bushing supplier (see dimensions below).

Upper bushing
- Inside diameter: 1.93-1.95 cm (0.76-0.77 in.)
- Outside diameter: 3.15-3.18 cm (1.24-1.25 in.)
Lower bushings
- Inside diameter: 2.24-2.26 cm (0.88 to 0.89 in.)
- Outside diameter: 3.63-3.66 cm (1.43 to 1.44 in.)

Easy-open, gas-lift hood

Gas-lift spring

The under-hood gas-lift support provides easy one-finger access to the engine compartment and eliminates the need for a mechanical prop rod.
This design of the support structure provides excellent rigidity for the hood.

Mower deck lift components

1025R Tractor

The 1 Family tractors includes factory-installed mechanical deck lift components.
The addition of these components from the factory significantly reduces the time required to do the initial mower deck installation at the time of purchase.
Refer to the mowers and material collection page for more details on mower deck installation and compatibility.
