Compact yet strong and durable. It should be able to carry all the gear. Does the farmer demand too much from his tractor? What should a versatile tractor be like?

Small yet versatile

Compact, small-size tractors with a power range of 70-100 HP are the most frequently chosen agricultural tractors. On smaller farms (up to 30-50 ha), they play the role of the most important workforce with a huge variety of tasks. A lot of work done with such tractors consists in fertilizing and protecting plants. These are also machines very often used by farms engaged in animal breeding. Other activities they perform include: work with a front loader, trailer, mower, etc.

Sizes and accessories

So what features should a versatile tractor have? It is definitely worth considering what we will use it for so that we can choose its size for the scope of potentially performed work. And also the wheelbase that defines its agility. Both the breadth of the market offer in terms of accessories and the price range are huge. Sellers’ proposals apply to 3- and 4-cylinder tractors. It should be noted that the rather high prices of many tractors from popular manufacturers are strongly associated with the innovations used in them, comfort options and advanced and extensive equipment. Numerous configuration options are possible.

Hydraulic system

It should be noted how important a functioning hydraulic system is. It is a great convenience not only during demanding works with a front loader, but also with advanced additional equipment. It is therefore worth taking care of as many external exits as possible. This will enable coupling with modern equipment, with extensive drives and hydraulic control. It is essential to maintain the maximum pump capacity of 40-50 l/min. almost all tractors now meet this requirement. In some models, this value is even 100 l/min. What’s more – it is worth checking whether the pump supplies only the external hydraulic system or other systems, e.g. the steering system. Then it will not be fully used to operate the attachment.

Convenience of work

Extremely important, assuming that you will spend long hours with it, is the comfort of work. It can provide amenities such as:

• A large cabin – is an advantage, but it is not recommended for work in buildings;
• Good visibility – is one of the definite benefits. It is possible thanks to the large amount of glazed surfaces, including the roof – especially if we plan to work with a front loader;
• A comfortable, air-suspended seat is also a great convenience;
• Air conditioning is also very important, but if the tractor is to work in such a way that you often have to get in and out of it – it is not necessary, and it may turn out to be an obstacle. In this case, easy opening and closing of the door will be a better addition, ensuring the comfort of getting on and off, and thus – great convenience of work.
