Which Tractor Implements Do You Need?
As the most powerful and versatile machine on your farm, your tractor takes the brunt of hard labor off your shoulders. But a tractor is only as good as the implements with which it’s equipped. That’s why it’s important to put some serious thought into the types of attachments and implements you choose for your tractor, so you can get the most out of it.
Central Arkansas Mahindra in Little Rock, AR, is your local Mahindra tractor and agriculture equipment dealer. Here are just a few of the many tractor implements available on the marketplace that may be beneficial to your farm work.
Box Blade
One of the most fundamental attachments that tractor owners use for a variety of applications is a box blade with scarifiers. This implement is pulled behind your tractor to dig its blades into the ground before spreading out and leveling material. The box blade is ideal for creating paths and roadways or even smoothing out the surface of a gravel lot.
Loader Attachment
A loader is an extremely useful tool to have for your tractor. With its two arms that extend outward from the front of your tractor, a loader can have many different types of implements anchored to it. The most common usage is for a bucket, which can scoop up loose material and transport it elsewhere. You can use other attachments as well to make your tractor suitable for pulling pallets or moving other types of material.
Lawn Mower
Got a lot of grass to mow and don’t want to sweat for hours behind a push mower? Get a land-mower attachment for your tractor and let it do the work for you! You can get your field mown in a fraction of the time it would take if you mowed by hand.
Backhoe
Want to excavate some land? A backhoe attachment offers you a much bigger range of movement with your tractor so you can dig and create trenches. If you need your tractor to remain still in a smaller area, a backhoe can easily do most of the work. Use them for farm tasks or for other excavation projects on your property.
Rotary Tiller
If you’re looking to prepare your garden or a bed for planting, then a rotary tiller will come in handy. This tool is designed to break up compact soil so that you can work with it more easily. The rotary tiller’s blades dig into the ground at whatever depth you choose to set them at, turning over the soil so that it’s ready for planting seeds.
Cultivator
Want to make sure your plants are well-nourished once you’ve planted them? A cultivator will break up weeds by digging into the dirt around your plants. The high center on this tool easily passes over your seedlings to avoid damaging them while removing the nutrient-sucking weeds around them. Cultivator attachments also break the dirt up into a softer layer that lets your plants take root more easily.
Plow
Plows are an extremely useful multipurpose tool, so make sure you have one in your arsenal. A plow attachment can push around loose material, break through soil, smooth out dirt or gravel, clear snow from the ground and more. You can get so many tasks done with a plow that it’s a smart investment to make, even if you forego some other attachments.
