Sub compact tractors are used by farmers and homesteaders to take care of their land. They are a good choice for people who need something between a lawnmower and a large farm tractor. They help farmers save money by preventing them from needing to shell out large amounts for fuel and maintenance of the larger farm tractors, because while they are made for agricultural work, they do not require as much care or take up as much room.
Sub compact tractors differ from their larger counterparts in a number of ways. Their horsepower is usually 18 to 28, which is less than the horsepower of other tractors. However, this kind of horsepower does not reveal all of the capability of the sub compact tractor. Other kinds of horsepower include the PTO, or 'power take off' horsepower measurement, which is better to look at for measuring the machine's real capabilities. A shaft that operates with a rotating motion receives the power from the engine from PTO horsepower. These tractors have either live or independent PTO horsepower. The live kind of PTO horsepower is mechanically driven and operates as a kind of transmission that you need to engage manually. PTO that is independent uses hydraulics to operate. The systems used to engage can either be levers or electric switches.
Sub compact tractors also rely on two hydraulic systems for pumping. Power Steering, backhoes, and loaders are all run with hydraulics. The first system is known as single-pump, which needs the engine to run at higher speeds. The second system is known as dual-pump. The dual-pump system is more common in larger tractors. It is the more efficient system of the two.
A sub compact tractor uses selectable valve controls to operate its hydraulic systems. Often these controls operate via joystick. The loaders of the sub compact tractor are usually controlled by these directly. These tractors also feature something known as a three-point hitch. The arms of the tractor make up two of the relevant points, whereby the third point is the linking attachment that helps keep the angling under control. This kind of hitch offers drivers of this tractor more options as far as the implements they have available to them. The safety features of the sub compact tractor include a system to protect against roll over, safety belts, and headlamps.

What is the name of tractor fuel?
Tractors are made which run on various types of fuels. For heavy tractors, such as those for farm use, diesel would be the most commonplace - non-taxable red dyed off-road diesel, most often. Smaller tractors may use petrol/unleaded gasoline (such as lawn tractors), and some even run on LPG.
Are compact tractors really just as effective as their full size counterparts?
yes it is beacuse Compact Tractors were created as a smaller counterpart to their larger cousins. These tractors were made to meet a price point while not giving up any of the usefulness. You have to remember that a lot of attachments are made for the mid size to full size tractors, and will not work properly with your compact tractor.

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.
