If your property is larger than the typical suburban postage stamp yard, you may need a riding lawn mower or even a compact tractor to speed the completion of your landscaping duties. Riding lawn mowers do one thing really well, mow lawns. Compact tractors,on the other hand, can accomplish a variety of tasks around the homestead. In this article we will discuss the difference between the two tools for landscape maintenance.

Riding lawn mowers are smaller and able to get in and out of tight areas. Compact tractors are generally larger. Riding lawn mowers can use a few accessories such as a tow-able fertilizer spreader or cart but other more demanding tasks require their own self powered accessories.

Compact tractors are a larger machine of up to 30 horse power. They have the ability to mount and use components for many light farming tasks. Compact tractors feature a method of attaching accessories called a 3 point hitch. This type of attachment will use the tractor’s hydraulic system to raise and lower the implement.

Compact tractors can mount a front loader. This implement is very useful around the farm for tasks such as cleaning corrals and animal pens of waste and bedding, clearing snow,lifting heavy objects, and excavating holes.

A very large assortment of implements and attachments are available for compact tractors. Everything from mower decks, brush cutting mowers, back mounted blade for grading and leveling,and snow blowers for clearing roads and driveways of snow. Standard farm implements such as plows, harrows and discs, cultivators and planters are available in sizes to match the power rating of compact tractors.

Companies in Japan and Korea manufacture almost all the compact tractors that are sold. The American companies import these tractors and sell them under their own label. The import brand is often available at the same time.

Compact tractors fill a niche that is in between the riding lawn mower and large farm tractor. For small farms they may be all the tractor you need.

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.

How to Choose Used Compact Tractors?

Compact tractors are an amazing tool for those without the land requirements or the space to store a full-sized tractor. Even non-farmers can get a great deal of use out of compact tractors. However, the cost of a new compact tractor is prohibitive for many users. Therefore, many people look to used compact tractors to meet their needs, but buying a used compact tractor is no less intimidating to the uninitiated. Here’s a step-by-step guide that shows the novice how to choose from all the compact tractors that are available. 1. Assess You Needs Itemize your needs, and then determine the size and the amount of power that’s right for them. Speak to someone at a dealership for advice. If your land is hilly, you’ll need more power than if it’s flat. If your land is uneven, you’ll need a large trailer for the extra clearance. 2. Research the Brands Research the brands, and determine which brands meet your needs well. For example, some brands specialize in mowing while others are much better towers. 3. Shop the Dealer’s First Focus on the used compact tractors at the dealerships in your area first. You’ll pay a little more, but dealers sell warranties with their compact tractors. 4. Buying Private If the dealers in your area lack what you need, then turn your attention to private sellers. However, don’t rely on your own mechanical assessment of the tractor unless you’re a tractor mechanic. Hire an expert mechanic to assess the tractor prior to buying it. A compact tractor with a fundamental problem is a financial sinkhole. 5. Personalization Manufacturers design compact tractors to be versatile. One of the benefits of buying new is the ability to personalize it to one’s needs. However, that personalization can change the dynamics of a brand and model you’ve researched. 6. Implements and Attachments During the “assess your needs’ phase, you determined how you’d use your compact tractor. If any of those uses require an attachment, then ensure that the tractor you’re buying is ready for it. Customizing a tractor for an attachment can add a great deal of cost to the overall price. Choosing from the many compact tractors available is a lot like choosing a car. Only fools rush in, and it pays to be patient. Fortunately, with compact tractors, unlike with cars, we often have the luxury of time.
