Different Sorts of Tractors
Broadly speaking, tractors can be easily divided into 10 types based on their purposes and functions. Such as –
- Utility Tractors
Utility Tractors are often utilised in ploughing or pulling heavy farm implementation tools like harvesters, tillers, cutters, threshers, etc. These utility machines are the best choice for new or low-budget farmers who are involved in general farming tasks. A typical utility tractor can be found with horsepower ranging from 45HP and above. - Row Crop Tractor
Row Crop Tractors can perform numerous agricultural tasks related to growing and cultivating your crops in rows, including weed control, ploughing, levelling, pulling seed drills, and harrowing. They can even serve as an alternative to some machines like threshers or water pumps. Such farm tractors come with many benefits, like user-friendly, comfortable driving experience, sufficient row spacing, ease of steering, easy attachment assembly/detachment, etc. - Orchard Tractors
Then comes the Orchard Tractors. As the name implies in itself, the Orchard Tractors are specially adapted for various types of orchards or wineries.
These small tractors are known for their remarkable height and small width. - Industrial Tractor
Although Industrial Tractors (previously called Tuggers) are a type of tractor for the construction industry, this tractor type can also be utilised in agriculture to haul heavy loads or carry heavy weights around, when attached to a crane. What makes farming tractors distinct from industrial tractors is that they feature a drawbar instead of a three-point linkage. They are also available in numerous models with different horsepower strengths to suit your specific needs.
