John Deere 46 series – compact three-cylinder diesels of 1,551 to 2,940 cc, types 1046 to 1846 FA, 27 to 41 kW, kerb weight 1,175 to 2,050 kg
Listed in the register as the 46 series, the John Deere types 1046, 1546 FA and 1846 FA form a range of compact all-round tractors with three-cylinder diesel engines throughout. The models within the range cover a marked spread of displacement and power, from the smallest type 1046 to the strongest 1846 FA, indicating a staggered line-up within a shared range aimed at smallholders and part-time farms.

The register lists 3 versions here with 27.2 to 41.2 kW from three-cylinder diesel engines of 1,551 to 2,940 cc at 2,300 to 3,000 rpm, kerb weights of 1,175 to 2,050 kg, lengths of 2,750 to 3,267 mm, widths of 1,180 to 1,460 mm and heights of 1,910 to 2,110 mm; one of the versions is additionally recorded with a torque of 86.3 Nm.
With its compact three-cylinder layout and wide power spread, the 46 series targeted smaller and medium holdings looking for a manoeuvrable all-rounder for field, yard and transport work, without reaching into the class of large agricultural tractors used in professional arable farming.
When buying a used model from this range, the key points are the condition of the engine and injection pump, wear on clutch and gearbox, and tightness of the hydraulics, plus corrosion on cab and chassis and the condition of the front loader mounts where fitted; spare parts for the engine and many attachments are available through John Deere parts channels.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
