Tractor is a broad category. The tractor is ubiquitous in the farming world, and it comes in a range of sizes to fit any farming operation. The primary purpose of a tractor is to pull farm equipment, but modern tractors can be outfitted with a variety of attachments to suit just about any farming need. For this reason, tractors are common-sense purchases for small and large-scale farmers alike.
There are several types of tractors, including the following:
Compact tractors: Compact tractors, as their name implies, are small, high-powered tractors that can assist with all the basic functions needed on a farm. Compact tractors are ideal for material handling and working in tight spaces where traditional tractors can’t fit.
Wheeled tractors: Wheeled tractors are general-purpose tractors that help you get the most out of your machinery. These utility tractors can meet a variety of demands and can be outfitted for tilling, material handling and equipment pulling. With a range of options in horsepower, lifting capacity, control and cab style, you can choose the wheeled tractor that works best for you and your application.
Track tractors: Track tractors are farming vehicles mounted with rubber tracks instead of tires, allowing them to plow fields with more power while providing a smoother ride for the operator.
Orchard tractors: Orchard tractors are a special type of tractor adapted with features to work optimally in orchards. These slender tractors can more easily fit between lines of trees while still providing the power needed to do landscaping and maintenance.
The specific attachments that are used with tractors are extremely varied. For more detail on the types of attachments available and what they do, see the section further down covering tractor attachments.
