5 Reasons for Farmers to Invest in a Mid-Size Tractor

Here's Why You Should Invest in a Mid-Size Tractor

When making a large purchase, such as a tractor, it is best to consider not only what you need now, but also what you might need in the future. What is the most difficult and time-consuming task you expect your tractor to perform? If you buy a tractor that is too small for the job, you may end up kicking yourself.

We hope that after careful consideration, our list of 5 reasons to buy a mid-size tractor will help you make the right choice.

Capability

Let's face it: we frequently overestimate the ease of the work ahead of us. You may come to regret owning a compact tractor with attachments that are not designed for the larger and more stressful tasks that the future may hold. You will be better prepared for what is to come if you invest in equipment that is slightly larger than you think you need.

Land Maintenance

Working hard soil can be taxing on the many small tractors. A larger job will also take you longer. Having good pushing weight and quality power makes tasks like land clearing or landscape modification much more enjoyable.

Brush Hog

Cleaning new or existing pastures is a common task, and a mid-sized tractor equipped with a good bush/brush hog makes the job much easier. Getting through thick brush and up or down steep inclines can be made less stressful with a mid-size tractor and a mower attachment that matches the tractor's power.

Fencing

A small trailer and an ATV can be used to transport the fencing trailer, but getting that heavy roll of fencing wire and those posts installed is an entirely different story. Lifting and rolling out the rolls of barbwire is made easier with a tractor, and if there is something in the path of your fence, it can be easily removed with the same workhorse. Furthermore, drilling fence post holes can be simplified with a simple attachment and a tractor large enough to support it.

Easy maintenance

Compact tractors are built to be simple to maintain. Most models have easy access to engine components and other parts, making any problems easier to resolve. The simple design also allows owners to handle some maintenance tasks on their own rather than hiring a professional.
