Must-Have Tractor Upgrades and Add-Ons
When you buy a tractor, you probably have an idea of how you’re going to use it. However, in some cases, you’d benefit from investing in upgrades and add-ons to make your tractor even more versatile. At Central Arkansas Mahindra, we’re here to help with that. We’ve created this guide to help you learn more about the possibilities. Read on for more details about tractor upgrades. Give us a call or stop by and see us if you’d like to check out our inventory. You’ll find us in Little Rock, AR, where we proudly serve all those in Sherwood and Conway.
Upgrading the Tires
Tractor tires generally fall into one of several categories based on their tread type, size, and terrain they’re best suited for. The standard tires on a tractor are bias-ply ones but you can upgrade them to radial tires. Radial tires are more expensive up front, but they offer operators a smoother ride and their treads tend to last longer, especially on harder ground. They also run at lower air pressure more effectively, saving on fuel and improving efficiency.
Brush Guard
Your tractor goes through dirt, mud, and puddles, which means it can often come into contact with hard materials, like rocks and vegetables, as well as obstacles like stumps. Those dings and scratches add up and can do more than make your machine look worn out. Brush guards can save you an expensive repair to the front grill and lights if any of the material you’re hauling gets loose or your tractor kicks up something sharp and nasty.
Quick Hitch
Quick hitches make swapping out tractor attachments a breeze, which in turn increases your tractor productivity and ease of use. There are plenty of options too, whether you want to upgrade to a 3-point hitch or a telescoping boom pole.
Climate Control Cab
This is one of the most expensive add-ons you can get for your tractor, but the added comfort of climate control is well worth it. Whether you’re operating in the morning or getting far too much summer sun, you’ll find the perfect climate inside your tractor cab so you can work all day long. While conversion kits are available, climate control systems might be a better option when looking at a new tractor.
Seating
A more ergonomic seat option for your tractor is going to be a great investment in terms of operator comfort. You know how much fatigue and discomfort can reduce productivity. Give yourself or your workers all the amenities they need to work in comfort with an upgraded seat.
