Uses of the John Deere 1520

Loading

• You can attach the John Deere 1520 to a loader that allows you to use the machine for loading and unloading heavy loads. In small farms, this greatly helps the farmer move around equipment and raw materials without needing extra manpower or exerting too much energy. Loaders come in several different styles and sizes. They are suitable for a variety of job types, including specialty loader types like hay forks.

Plowing

• Attaching a plowing device to the John Deere 1520 lets a farmer get his fields ready to be planted. Other similar agricultural attachments--like a cultivator, a tiller and a fertilizer spreader--allow the small farmer to do most of the preparation and maintenance of his crop fields from on top of the tractor. The plows themselves attach to the bottom of the John Deere 1520 tractor, letting you plow the ground directly under the tractor as it passes over it.

Hauling

• Trailer attachments allow small farmers to carry a variety of different materials over long distances on the farm with relative ease. Since the John Deere has a 2-wheel drive motor, it is not suitable for traveling through extremely muddy or inclined areas with a large load. It should be able to handle dirt roads and small hills with relative ease. Simply attach the trailer to the back of the John Deere 1520 to haul your load.

Construction

• A variety of attachments allow the John Deer 1520 to assist small farmers and landowners prepare a site for a construction project. Digging attachments allow the user to create small excavations in the earth, to prepare foundations or ground-support projects. Bulldozer-like scraper blades attach to the front of the tractor so you can use it to level the earth and clear garbage, brush or scraps off the building site.
