Specifications of a Tractor to consider before purchase

There is no multi-purpose equipment that a farm uses like a tractor and for good reason. Farm tractors are hardworking, powerful machines that are critical for many strenuous farming activities. However, there is no doubt that farm tractors are complex machines that one needs to understand in depth before one starts a search for the perfect farm tractor. Here is an introduction to the basic features of a farm tractor one must consider before a purchase.

Engine

The purpose of a tractor is to haul heavy loads and drag machines. Hence, to meet this need, the engine of a farm tractor must provide the power to perform heavy wearing work. One can find tractors in India that run on both gasoline and diesel, between the two diesel powered engines offer greater power than their gas counterparts. When dealing with farm tractors, the engine capacity is measured in horsepower, which when higher more power. Thus, a tractor with high horsepower is needed for strong farming chores. However, one must remember the size of a tractor is not an equivalent of its horse power, many smaller tractors with powerful engines may have greater strength than their larger counterparts.

Transmission

The transmission is an important feature to be considered when buying a farm tractor, as it highly influences the performance of the farm tractor. Some tractors, are equipped with hydrostatic transmissions, thus are driven with foot pedals. To increase the speed all one needs to do is push harder on the foot-pedal. These types of farmer tractor are very easy to drive and maneuver.

One can also avail tractors with manual gear transmissions, where changing or physically shifting a gear using a control stick to increase and decrease the speed of the tractor. The advantage of a manual gear is that it makes maintaining a constant speed easier, however, they are not as simple to drive as tractors with foot pedals.

Attachment Hitch

Tractor attachments allow the tractor to be used with other equipment. Thus, to attach this equipment a tractor needs to have least one type of hitch. Tractors in India can be availed with a useful three-point hitch or simple draw-back hitch. A three-point hitch has a hydraulic lift for lifting and lowering equipment; A simple drawbar hitch is useful for specialized for tractor attachments such as forklifts and front-end loaders.

Power Source

An important need of a tractor is to power attachments and machine, whilst dragging them across the farm. A PTO (power take off) is a spinning shaft located at the rear of a tractor to provide power to its attachments

Power steering

Power-­steering can make turning easier the large vehicle easier on rough terrain.

Other parts of a tractor one must evaluate is the headlights, roll over protection, and sturdy tires. When purchasing farm tractors, one should not only evaluate each moving part but also the availability of replacements and the cost of maintenance. Buyers can evaluate the farm tractor prices in India, their specifications and review that helps evaluate the best purchase for one’s farming needs.

Using mechanised farming quipments increases the efficiency of the agricultural work with less damage to crops and soil.  

 Uses of Agricultural Equipment

Various kinds of farming equipment are used in different phases of agriculture. These sectors include livestock production, horticulture, crop production and forestry. Large scale crop production requires the use of diverse   agri equipment, which includes tractors, tillage equipment, harvesting equipment, planting equipment and so on.

Farming equipment are commonly used for:

·         Levelling the land (break pieces of land left in the field

·         Opening furrows

·         Planting seeds
