Have you been thinking about buying a new or used tractor? Have you been having a hard time deciding which one to buy? Do you need something with power, but you’re not a full time farmer? Consider buying a compact tractor.
If price is a consideration, compact tractors are less expensive to buy and maintain. The lower cost means that you generally have a much larger re-sell market if you decide you don’t need the tractor. Additionally, if the tractor breaks down or is damaged beyond repair, your investment is much smaller. They also burn less fuel which saves money every time the tractor is used.
Another benefit of a smaller tractor is hauling. Most compact tractors can be transported on pull behind trailers with a standard pickup truck. Larger tractors often require heavy duty trailers with electric brakes as well as a bigger truck with a fifth wheel. If you only need to go a short distance, they would also be easier to drive along the roadway.
If you want to use your tractor on your home’s lawn, you would also probably be better off with a compact tractor. Many tractors offer turf type tires that are very easy on your lawn while bigger tractors may leave ruts in your yard from their weight alone. There are many kinds of finish mowers that would make mowing the largest yard a simple task.
Compact tractors are also generally better if you want to create walking or ATV trails in a wooded area. They require much less width to maneuver through the trees. Most of them are only slightly wider than an ATV itself.
Do you do most things by yourself? The smaller size of a compact tractor also makes it easier to mount and dismount attachments. Whether you are discing a field to plant a garden or bushhogging your new walking trails, the implements for a compact tractor are generally smaller and lighter than the ones that would be used on a full size tractor.
Whatever you choose to buy, a tractor is a versatile piece of equipment that is guaranteed to give you years of functional use and enjoyment.

The Benefits of Compact Tractors?
A compact tractor is a smaller version of an agricultural-style tractor. This machine is very similar to a lawn tractor; however, the compact tractor has more features and accessories that are comparable to large tractors. Small farmers and hobbyists find this machine particularly useful for their small farming or gardening needs. The small size of this tractor makes storage easier; however, the compact tractor is still useful for large jobs. The majority of compact tractors have 20-60 horsepower, and they are powered by a diesel engine. The diesel engine is more energy efficient than gas powered motors. This machine is not particularly cheap, but it works well for some one that has limited space for a tractor. The machine can still do heavy jobs, and it is fuel efficient. Furthermore, a large hilly lawn can be a tough job, but the compact tractor can be useful in mowing this grass. The power of the machine makes it easy to maneuver slopes and hills. A regular lawn tractor is suited for a level lawn, but jobs with hills and slopes are easier to perform with a compact tractor. This tractor can also be used for tilling, moving heavy loads, and clearing muddy and snowy areas. Additionally, the compact tractor is easier to operate than the large machines. The larger machines are easier to tilt over than the smaller tractor. The compact tractor does not usually need a separate trailer to transport this machine. Furthermore, the compact tractor can be bought used at a good price. It is a good idea to do your research before buying a used tractor. Getting a mechanic to check it out is also a good idea. By doing your research ahead of time, you can avoid not having your expectations met. Tractors that are made of steel are more costly, but they generally are more sturdy than those made with plastic. Accessories can also be purchased to go with the tractor. A hydraulic system, power take off, and three-point hitch are accessories that can compliment the performance of a compact tractor. A front-end loader is a good idea when the tractor will be used to move bulk materials. Similarly, a rear mounted blade can be used to maintain a gravel drive and move snow. A posthole digger can make fence installing easier, and a plow and tiller are helpful to gardeners. All of these tools can truly enhance this tractor and make chores more manageable.
