Tips for Buying Utility Tractors

What Size Untitled 1What size tractor do I need?

For light excavation, trenching and loader work, a sub-compact (0 to 20 horsepower) or compact tractor (40 or less horsepower) should handle each job efficiently. Both offer power, durability and a wide range of applications.

What features should I look for?

Major features such as horsepower, available attachments and comfort should be on the top of the priority list. For horsepower, compare gross, net and PTO horsepower to make sure the product has enough power to handle all of the tasks you have in mind. Next, think about what the product will be used for and what attachments will be needed. Front loaders and backhoes are the most common, but attachments like post-hole diggers and mid-mount decks are available for most units. Finally, check the operator’s station and spend time in the seat making sure it’s comfortable enough for extended hours of use.
