John Deere is one of the most recognized names in the Tractor Industry. Some say the reason for this is because of the quality of tractors that they manufacture along with a heavily branded name, color scheme and marketing campaign.
If you own a John Deere tractor, you no doubt have a 3 point hitch which is pretty much universal as to what attachments you can hook up to the rear of your tractor. In other words, you can use attachments from other manufacturers with out a problem.
If you have a loader on the front of the tractor, you have also found that John Deere never went to the industry standard "Universal Quick Attach system". It is starting to be offered as an option for those who are looking to buy a new John Deere Tractor. What this means to the owner is that ONLY loader attachments that are manufacturered to fit the John Deere Loader quick hitch specifications will work with your tractor.
Good for John Deere . . . bad for the owner who wants to take advantage of all the loader attachments that John Deere does not offer for sale, or for the owner that wants to take advantage of cost savings of buying a similiar quality attachment without paying for the name that is on it.
Here are a few tractor attachments manufacturers that we have used with John Deere Tractors and recommend.

We may classify these implements in 3 major groups: non-powered, power take off (PTO)-powered, and hydraulic-powered implements. Certain implements may even use a combination of PTO and hydraulic power to perform their task. Following are examples of common attachments under these groups.
A power take-off (PTO) is a splined driveshaft, usually on a tractor or truck, that can be used to provide power to an attachment or separate machine. It is designed to be easily connected and disconnected. A PTO allows implements to draw energy from a tractor's engine. PTOs and associated shafts and universal joints are a common cause of accidents, injuries, and death in farming and industry. A great deal of tractor related fatalities in the USA involve PTOs. When a piece of clothing touches a spinning PTO or joint it can be pulled around, and the person wearing it can also be pulled around the shaft, often resulting in loss of limbs or death. Some implements use plastic guards to try to keep a person from becoming entangled in a PTO shaft, but even with guards caution around spinning PTO shafts is imperative.
