Whether new or used, nothing runs quite like a John Deere compact tractor.
As your local John Deere dealers for the Lancashire, West and South Yorkshire areas, at Balmers GM we know more than most just how true this statement is. There is a John Deere tractor to suit virtually every need, from small lawn tractors which are ideally suited for homeowners with mid to large-sized lawns, to the professional compact tractor models that make light work of large, commercial lawns and grounds.
In this article, we’re taking a closer look at both new and used John Deere compact tractors, and the reasons to consider buying them.

Now, at Balmers GM, we stock a good range of new compact tractors from John Deere, and we also regularly stock a large range of quality used models, each of which undergoes a thorough and comprehensive inspection and service prior to any sale. We also know that with the variety of models available, it can sometimes be difficult to choose the correct model for your needs.
What to consider when buying new or used John Deere compact tractors
This typically comes down to budget, the price of used machinery has skyrocketed, and we’re not just talking about groundcare machinery! Since the start of 2021, the average price of used cars has risen by 30%, with some of the UK's most popular cars have increased up to 57% since 2019.
The same effect is being felt in the agricultural and groundcare sectors, with the prices rising due to, amongst other things, the pandemic and the rising cost of raw materials. This means that often, opting for a new compact tractor may make just as much financial sense as opting for a high quality used model.
With this being said, we do not overcharge for our used machines, and the prices are set a fair market value. However, if you decide that you want complete peace of mind, then opting for a new model could well be your best bet, both in terms of value for money, and mechanical soundness, as all new machines come with a full warranty, which you can find out more about by contacting us.
