New JD 1023E and 1026R

[Johndeere3720]

Back from the Ag show but no 1026R yet. I did hear that Deere dealers out here may be getting one soon but supplies for them are pretty tight right now and they don't really want to advertise it until it is available for the customer to order a unit. When they get the 1026R, it will be a show tractor and afterwards I would guess a Demo unit.

Thanks! That makes sense about the fuel gauge - do you know if is it a mechanical gauge or digital?

Mechanical from what it looks like. If its like the one on my 997, it will be of high quality.

One of these may be a repeat but these are all the last of 'em.

My dealer got one in today, lots of nice features but the hood is not up to par with the rest of the machine. No pricing yet, he will email me as soon as he gets a price on tractor with h120 and 60d deck

John Deere held a media event yesterday and showed off both the 1023E and 1026R. Here's some coverage and videos.

TractorTommy Thanks for posting that information!
First video I have seen of the tractor.
I was as at my local John Deere dealer yesterday, and they still had no real information. They did think the new 1023E and 1026R would arrive at their dealership in March.

I've heard JD is shipping these in Feb so some might get there earlier. Depends on the dealer.

I gotta say - it looks better than the earlier photos I saw.

Glad you guys got to see pics of the 1026r. I just returned from the Ohio Power Show in Columbus and to my surprise...not one John Deere dealer was there. No JD dealers or factory reps present. I can't figure why. Sort of ruined my day.
