Attachments for John Deere 1 Series · 1026R
Compact tractor.
Full-time site tool.
The 1026R already has a rear PTO, a mid PTO and hydraulic services. Add the right front linkage and your 1026R can sweep car parks, clear leaves and snow, treat weeds and renovate gravel, with Kersten’s commercial two-year warranty.
Front attachments fit a dedicated Cat 0 front linkage or John Deere Quick-Tach. Rear attachments use the standard 540 rpm rear PTO and three-point hitch.

Start with cleaner surfaces
Three ways to sweep with your 1026R.
Remove leaves, soil and organic debris before they build up, block drainage and give weeds somewhere to grow. Choose the working position and drive system together, not just the width.
Rear PTO · no front conversion
HKM 12540 M
125 cm working width · 40 cm brush · 540 rpm PTO

Keep the 1026R working all year.
Match the action to the problem: blow loose leaves, treat weeds with heat, renovate gravel, clear snow or cut rougher grass. Each needs its own mounting and power specification.
Leaves & loose organic debris
LBV 6900 M
Mechanical PTO drive · 85 kg blower
Choose it for moving leaves to a planned collection area before they become wet, compacted detritus.
Uses the carrier’s PTO rather than a separate blower engine. Right-hand fixed discharge is standard.
£5,395.00 ex VAT
Listed product price · check configuration
Mounting bracket and a compatible PTO arrangement are additional. Optional hydraulic chute rotation needs a suitable double-acting service.
Thermal weed management
HOAF WeedAir 1002 IB
100 cm working width · propane fuel · 77 kW
Choose it for chemical-free treatment of young weeds and moss on paths, gravel and sandy areas.
Three main burners and two independent side burners. Gas supplies the treatment energy, so no PTO drive is needed.
£11,950.00 ex VAT

75 kg before gas. Specify the bracket, gas carrying arrangement and controls, and check the loaded weight against the linkage’s lift capacity.

Rear PTO · gravel renovation
WE 110 M-DP
110 cm working width · CAT 1 / 1N rear linkage
Choose it for restoring unsealed gravel paths rather than sweeping loose stone off the surface.
Counter-rotating tools loosen and level the upper surface. Choose knives, chisels or brush tools around the gravel construction.

SCHN 13545 FK-ABR
135 cm blade width · 45 cm blade height
Choose it for access routes and car parks where cleared snow can be placed beside the route.
Spring-protected blade, adjustable skids and a replaceable edge. No rotating PTO drive is needed.
£1,650.00 ex VAT

Blade listing without ABR bracket. Specify the bracket for your front linkage or Quick-Tach and the lifting / angling services.
Winter · move snow away
Cerruti L 1200 B
120 cm working width · two-stage design
Choose it when deeper snow or limited room for windrows makes blowing more useful than pushing.
The listing specifies 20–40 hp carriers, with hydraulic chute rotation and deflector adjustment.
£6,350.00 ex VAT
Listed product price · check configuration

Grass, banks & rough cutting
Flail & rotary mowers
Rear mounted · 540 rpm PTO
Choose a mounted mower for rougher grass, banks and areas the mid deck can’t reach.
Flail mowers handle longer, rougher growth and leave a finer finish; rotary mowers suit regular cutting.
Choose by width and weight to suit the limited Category 1 hitch and the 1026R’s rear lift capacity.
Choose the system before the individual parts
A linkage lifts.
A PTO or hydraulic supply powers.
For most front attachments, the complete installation is:
The linkage provides the lift and coupling. The ABR bracket connects the attachment to that coupling. The drive system provides the working power. Buying one does not automatically provide the others.
Two front-mounting routes. John Deere Quick-Tach takes the ABR 45 US- bracket, as in our 1026R case study. For heavier attachments, the dedicated FL JD 1026R Cat 0 front linkage lifts 980 kg and takes the ABR 45 KD bracket.
Does this suit other 1 Series tractors?
The FL JD 1026R front linkage is listed for the 1026R only. Other 1 Series tractors, such as the 1025R or 1023E, may still take Quick-Tach attachments or rear PTO equipment. Send your model, serial number and photographs so the complete installation can be checked.
1. Rear PTO: avoid a front conversion
The 1026R has a 540 rpm rear PTO and a limited Category 1 three-point hitch as standard. The HKM40 rear sweeper, WE gravel renovator and rear mowers work from the back of the tractor.
2. Front hydraulics: keep the mower deck
Our 1026R case study runs the KM 13045 H and its hydraulic-emptying collector from one double-acting tractor service, with variable brush speed. For a dedicated 30 l/min supply, a rear PTO hydraulic pack is the alternative.
3. Front mechanical PTO: maximum power
A front PTO kit takes drive forward from the 2,100 rpm mid PTO. It gives the most power for heavy remedial work, but the mid mower deck has to be removed. Match the attachment’s gearbox, speed and rotation.
Check the lift capacity
The FL JD 1026R linkage lists 980 kg lifting force at the coupling point. Allow for the attachment, bracket, a full collector, water tanks or gas bottles when specifying the complete setup.

Questions before you choose
What can a 1026R do with Kersten attachments?
With a front linkage or Quick-Tach and the right drive, a 1026R becomes a compact tool carrier with lift, lower and angling functions. It can sweep, blow leaves, treat weeds thermally, renovate gravel, clear snow and cut rougher grass, alongside its own mowing deck work.
Can I keep the mid mower deck fitted?
Yes, with hydraulic drive. The KM 13045 H in our case study runs from the tractor’s own hydraulic service, so the auto-connect deck stays on. A front PTO kit takes its drive from the mid PTO, so the deck has to come off.
Tractor hydraulics or a rear PTO hydraulic pack?
The 1026R’s own hydraulics can drive the KM 13045 H through one double-acting service, with variable brush speed; this gives less power than PTO but suits maintenance sweeping. A rear PTO hydraulic pack gives a dedicated 30 l/min supply where more performance is needed.
Quick-Tach or the dedicated front linkage?
If Quick-Tach is fitted, the ABR 45 US- bracket is usually the quickest route. The FL JD 1026R Cat 0 linkage, with its 980 kg lift, suits heavier attachments and uses the ABR 45 KD bracket. Tell us which you have.
What warranty do the attachments carry?
Kersten attachments for the 1026R come with a commercial two-year warranty.
What should I send for a quotation?
Send the exact model, year or serial number, photos of the front and rear of the tractor, whether Quick-Tach or a front linkage is fitted, which hydraulic services you have, and the job and access width. Include any collection, angling or dust-control options you need.
