Upgrading a Lawn Mower to a Compact Tractor

Larger lawns take a lot of work to trim down, and if you’re using a mower, it could take more than an hour every week just to keep your yard looking presentable. Small patches of land aren’t difficult to maintain, but when you have an acre or more of lawn, you need something with more power to help free up some time and save you some energy. Considering the versatility of compact tractors, upgrading to one of these machines can be a smart decision. They’ll make your life a lot easier, so keep reading to learn more about them and then visit our dealership to check out our selection of compact tractors.

Why Choose a Compact Tractor?

Compact tractors are a great solution for yards too big for mowers, and they offer some extra utility while they’re at it. They are much more useful compared to lawn mowers and produce reliable results. While they don’t offer some of the benefits of a zero-turn like quick turns, their steering wheel controls are easy to operate. This means some more maneuvering to get that professional look for your lawn, but they bring in some extra utility in the form of several attachments and towing power. These machines are also better suited for overgrown undergrowth and grass over six inches.

Transmission

Compact tractors have a variety of options for transmission, with the most popular being standard, hydrostatic, and hydraulic shuttle. Each has its best uses. The standard transmission uses the same clutch and gear shift as you’d find in a manual car or truck. They are inexpensive and are excellent for applications like lawn care or operating pull-behind implements.

Implements and Attachments

Most lawn mowers are equipped to handle only some accessories, which restricts the alternative uses of a lawn mower. However, there are lots of options when it comes to implements and attachments that can be powered by your compact tractor. They range from gardening gear to field equipment and beyond. Compact tractors are compatible with attachments that extend their usage beyond mowing the lawn. For example, those in the farming industry can use various attachments to maintain crops, livestock, and fences. Some of the most popular implements are:

• Scrapers.
• Box blades.
• Front-bucket loaders.
• Spreaders.
• Tillers.
• Augers.
• Rotary cutters.
