What Compact Tractors are Used For?
Compact tractors are basically smaller versions of the tractors that farmers or construction workers use on large job sites. Many people use the power of compact tractors to perform tasks that are too tough for normal trucks or lawn machinery, but too small for normal sized tractors. Clearing Land on Smaller Properties Compact tractors are ideal for removing brush and undergrowth from smaller areas of land. Many farmers and ranchers keep at least one compact tractor on hand to take care of the growth that can take over small corners of the farm. Compact tractors are powerful enough to uproot small trees before they become a larger problem if they are growing where they should not grow. The small tractors are also a good way to collect all of the debris into a centralized location for burning or compacting more easily. Cultivating Small Farms Many compact tractors are flexible enough to be attached to accessories that allow them to do things that the bigger tractors can do. People who own single acre farms do not need full sized tractors to cultivate their field. A compact tractor, however, can do the same amount of work without overwhelming the field it is working in. Having a smaller tractor allows you to make tighter turns in a more narrow space. It also creates narrower rows, which makes planting more efficient on a smaller piece of land. These small farms are ideal for any use that a compact tractor can be put to. Maintaining Landscaping Some compact tractors are used strictly for decorative purposes. Landscapers like to use compact tractors as a way to clear a lawn to create a blank slate before they begin putting in flowers or grass arrangements. Compact tractors are also useful for spreading mulch or trimming grass. A compact tractor can be used to carry a large sapling to the area where it needs to be planted without harming the new tree or straining the engine of the landscaper’s pickup truck. Landscapers have several tasks that are ideal for compact tractors to perform. Most landscaping companies maintain two or three compact tractors to cover all of their work in the field.
