Compact Tractor Uses and Applications
Compact tractors bring owners all the power and utility of their larger counterparts while keeping the scale down and costs low. Even small tractors can be a big investment, and there are plenty of choices to make when it comes to the manufacturer, model, and features. Whether you’re an experienced farmer or a landscaping professional looking for a bit of extra help or a property owner after their first compact tractor, we can help you out. Read on for some more information on the various uses and applications of compact tractors.
Manage Small Farms
A compact tractor is equipped to do just about anything a large tractor can. However, the main difference between the two styles is their size and power. The smaller size of a compact tractor does have certain unique benefits. If your fields are small or you’re working in a tight space, a compact tractor can help you increase your efficiency. Plus, their lighter weight means that they also compact the soil less.
Maintain Driveways
For big properties or those who live far away from public roads, gravel and dirt roads are important for getting around. A compact tractor with a blade or box scraper attachment can push and lever driveways or roads. These same implements are good year-round since they can also effortlessly spread mulch and plow snow.
Digging
A compact tractor comes in handy when you are building a barn, shed, or even a fence, as it helps you get the foundation dug out quickly and easily. Equip your compact tractor with a backhoe to dig up the earth in large quantities for a foundation or use an auger to create holes for fixing fence posts or planting seedlings.
Mowing
If your yard has lots of grass and a push mower is going to be inefficient, you can use a mower attachment on a compact tractor to accomplish the job in far less time. Riding a tractor is also less exhausting than using a walk-behind mower, so it’s a good option for people with chronic pain and other health issues to manage their lawns.
Livestock Management
If your farm has livestock, there’s plenty of heavy lifting that needs to be done. With a compact tractor, you’ll have to rely less on manual labor. With a compact tractor, you can move feed and hay, clean stalls and pens, and also do general maintenance. The compact size allows it to access tight spaces a normal tractor wouldn’t be able to reach.
