John Deere 425 Attachments
The John Deere 425 lawn tractor was designed as a premium garden tractor, offering versatility through a wide range of compatible attachments for year-round utility. It supports front-end loaders like the John Deere 40 Loader, several mid-mount mower decks in 48″, 54″, and 60″ widths (models BM17205, BM17206, BM17220), and seasonal tools including the 46-inch snow thrower (JD 1481M), 47-inch snow blower (JD 1471M), and 51-inch rotary broom (JD 1571M) for winter and debris management. A 54-inch front blade (JD 1490M) is also available for grading and snow pushing tasks.

Additionally, the 425 could be equipped with a 42-inch hydraulic tiller (M04390X) mounted via a rear 3-point hitch system for garden preparation.
Mounting the front blade or snowblower requires optional components including the hydraulic couplers (BM17763), front hitch (BM17347), and a front PTO kit (BM17330) for powered implements like the snowblower. These options made the John Deere 425 a highly adaptable tractor for mowing, landscaping, and snow handling duties.
