Sub-Compact Utility Tractors

One series. Endless possibilities.

When you’ve got a property to maintain, you need a machine that’s versatile enough to handle just about any task. That’s where the 1 Series comes in. With three models to choose from, and an array of specialty implements and attachments, 1 Series Sub-Compact Utility Tractors are meticulously engineered to get things done. Tackle everyday chores with the economical, open station 1E 23, navigate tight spaces with the 1M 25 while enjoying the heated-and-cooled comfort of an optional HVAC cab, or take on your most demanding projects with the rugged 1R 25.

With any model you choose, you’re getting a year-round workhorse built to conquer whatever you throw its way, so you can spend more time enjoying your property, not just maintaining it. Ergonomic Fender Console Puts all your controls within

KEEP SAFETY TOP OF MIND

As you explore the 1 Series lineup, remember not all areas are suitable for compact tractors. Understanding your machine’s capabilities helps ensure safe, efficient operation. Some implements and attachments require additional ballast weight. Talk to your dealer about how to correctly configure your machine for your specific uses.

Rollover protective structures (ROPS) are standard equipment on 1E 23, 1M 25, and 1R 25 Sub-Compact Utility Tractors.

Links your machine to the Equipment Mobile app for maintenance alerts, engine hours, and more.

The 1 for everyday tasks

For rugged performance in a compact package, the 1E 23 delivers. Its open station design is perfect for mild climates and seasonal chores like mowing, tilling, and landscaping. Open sightlines and quick on-and-off give you a clear view of your work while making it easy to start and stop for implement changes. And Twin Touch™ foot pedals, power steering, and mechanical front-wheel drive (MFWD) let you stay in control around delicate landscaping and on uneven terrain, so you can get to work with confidence.

1E23

1M25

The 1 for tight spaces

The 1M 25 takes what you can do a step further. An optional, all-weather HVAC cab keeps you cool in the summer, warm in the winter, and free from dust and debris the whole year through. A compact frame and tight turning radius let you carefully maneuver through narrow gates and around trees, so you can reach every area of your property with ease. When you’re done for the day, the 1M 25 can be parked safely in a standard garage or shed, cab included.

The 1 for heavy-duty lifting

With a 915-pound (415-kg) rear hitch lift capacity and a generous 63-inch (1,600-mm) wheelbase, the 1R 25 is built to handle your toughest jobs, at home, on the farm, and across commercial landscapes. Transport pavers, stones, and other heavy materials for hardscape projects. Load tall trailers and pickup beds. Move pallets of seed, fertilizer, and firewood. Or haul large loads of gravel, dirt, and sand without breaking a sweat. Add an optional factory-installed all-weather cab, and you’ve got a machine that works as hard as you do, 365 days of the year.

1R25

But that’s just the start. Every M and R comes with:

Cruise control for constant speeds at the pull of a lever.

Tilt steering for more ergonomic and comfortable operation.

Position control hitch for lowering implements to the same position every time.

Standard 12-volt and USB-C outlets for convenient charging on-the-go.

Optional third function hydraulic valve for additional functionality of implements, from aligning blades to grabbing with grapples.

Your climate-controlled throne awaits

True comfort starts in the M and R Models.

A hint of snow in the air doesn’t mean it’s time to put your compact tractor in storage. The M and R Models are designed to keep you working the whole year through with an all-weather HVAC cab.

Just settle into your cushy, deluxe suspension seat, turn up the heat, and push or blow snow to your heart’s content. Then when summer hits, crank the A/C and stay cool during your toughest tasks.

The cab is factory-installed for quality and comfort and features a fully sealed design to limit outside noise and keep you clean during your dirtiest jobs. The exterior mirrors offer excellent visibility and the rear windows open, so you can conveniently access rear implements from comfort of your seat.
