Whether you just bought property with acreage and need equipment to take care of it or you need to replace broken equipment, there’s several factors to consider when you’re buying a tractor. Before you purchase a tractor, consider these questions to help you select the right tractor for you.
What Kind of Acreage Do You Have?
If you only have a few acres or if you have dozens, there is a tractor that is more appropriate. The type of land that you will also determine what types of operations you will need the tractor to do. Functions on a tractor range from mowing, tilling, moving items, haying, snow removal, grading, and other tasks. Along with this, you’ll also need to think about the spaces your tractor will need to navigate. Will it need to go through tighter tree spaces or small fence opening? It might dictate the size of the tractor that you’ll be getting.
What is Your Priority Task?
Some people want to be able to till their acreage to get it ready for planting, while some mainly use it for maintenance like mowing their property. Whatever your priority is will help you to decide what type of functions you need or want, allowing you to pick a specific tractor.
What is Your Budget?
Beyond deciding the kind of tractor you need and what functions you need it for is deciding how much you can afford. Figure out you’re comfortable paying before you tractor shop.
What Kind of Ride Do You Want?
If you know how to use a shift, then you may not need an automatic transmission. Or if you know that you’ll be spending plenty of days in extreme weather, you may want some air conditioning or heating. Some tractors may also ride smoother than others.
