What to suggest when choosing a tractor for greenhouse work?

When you want to buy a greenhouse tractor that will serve you for many years and fulfill its role, you need to consider the following factors first of all:

Size

First: you need to start with the size of the greenhouse, and then match the machine to it – especially in terms of height, so that it can easily enter and move freely inside the greenhouse.
Much of the production of vegetables and fruits takes place in undersized greenhouses, tunnels or plantations with narrow rows. Under such conditions, the use of traditional agricultural tractors is inefficient or even impossible. What should growers do for whom a classic even small tractor is too big? The ideal solution will be mini-tractors, which are in no way inferior to traditional tractors. LS Tractor offers a wide range of super-compact tractors from the LS Tractor MT 1.25 and LS Tractor XJ 25 series. These small, inconspicuous machines will get into places where traditional tractors wouldn’t stand a chance, and in terms of equipment and capabilities they are in no way inferior to larger tractors.
If your space is large and you can get larger equipment in there, then we recommend using the larger tractors in the MT3 series. In larger spaces, a larger tractor will be more efficient.

LS Tractor in a greenhouse – with or without a cab?

LS Tractor offers both agricultural tractors with and without a cab. However, greenhouses tend to have limited capabilities due to their height. For this reason, it is better to choose a tractor with a safety bar located at the front or rear of the tractor, instead of a cab. The machine is smaller and, above all, lower, so it will be easier to get inside the greenhouse and maneuver it. When the safety armband is folded down, the tractor can get closer to the edge of the wall, allowing precise work with maximum use of space.

Turning radius

The small turning radius of LS tractors makes the machine nimble and maneuverable in narrow spaces, maintaining traction and keeping you safe while working. You can turn back to the next aisle of your greenhouse without unnecessary maneuvering.
The smaller machines, namely the LS Tractor XJ 25 and MT 1.25, have the smallest turning radius as they are 2200 and 2400mm, respectively. On the other hand, the MT3 series tractors have a turning radius of 2800 to 2890mm (depending on the specific model).

Efficient hydraulics

A powerful hydraulic system means you can work efficiently with demanding attachments. The LS Tractor MT 1.25 and LS Tractor XJ 25 have two hydraulic outlets. The larger models, the LS Tractor MT3, have as many as eight hydraulic outputs, making it possible to connect a wide range of implements to the tractor.
This number of hydraulic inputs, both in the case of smaller and larger models, makes it possible to hook up, for example: a trailer or a weeder for weeding between rows and many other devices.

Functionality

Another important factor is the functionality of the tractor – that is, what it is actually supposed to do. In the case of greenhouses, the ability to work with heavy machinery will play a smaller role. Instead, the size of the tractor and options for working with plows, sprayers, or other specialized auxiliary equipment become more important, where hydraulic points or PTO shafts, among other things, may be important.
Each of the LS Tractors is equipped with an independent PTO shaft, which gives the option of using additional PTO/PTO attachments. In the case of smaller tractors in the MT 1.25 or XJ 25 series, this is usually a shaft that has a single speed of 540 rpm. On the other hand, larger tractors, viz: MT 3.35, MT 3.40, MT 3.50 and MT 3.60 – are equipped with as many as three speeds. Thanks to them, LS tractors can additionally cooperate with machines used for greenhouse work.

Multifunctionality of LS Tractor in greenhouses

The versatility of LS brand tractors lies in the fact that they can be used for many different jobs, including in the greenhouse. Thanks to the tractor’s configuration and the availability of attachments dedicated to LS tractors, the machine offers a wide range of possibilities. In addition to the standard equipment, the tractor can be equipped with many other machines and devices that operate on the tractor’s PTO/PTO, which makes up its functionality.
Below is a wide selection of LS Tractor-compatible attachments and their features useful for greenhouse work:

LS Tractor + tiller

Enthusiasts of vegetables and organic plants of all kinds will appreciate the combination of an LS Tractor with a soil tiller, mounted on a category I three-point hitch. This is a device that is designed to mechanically dig, crumble and loosen the soil. It mixes the soil very thoroughly, making the cultivated soil a good base for sowing seeds. Thanks to the work of the ripper we can also: remove weeds, or level the ground while preparing it for growing vegetables. The soil tiller has its uses in greenhouses when growing vines or processing narrow inter-rows such as blueberries, raspberries, etc.

LS Tractor + planter

LS tractor together with a two-row or single-row planter will help you with the planting process. Tractor planter suspended, mechanical – is an agricultural device designed for planting tuberous plants, bulbous plants and many others. It is suspended from the three-point hitch of a category I and II tractor. The mechanism responsible for planting the crop, is driven by the wheels of the planter while the tractor is moving.

LS Tractor + plow for plowing

LS tractor gives the possibility to install a single-sided plow, as well as a double-sided plow, becoming a plowing machine. The main function of plowing the land is to loosen the soil, destroy weeds or mix the soil, and this is what various types of plows are used for. Soil plowing is one of the most important procedures for proper plant and crop growth and efficient harvesting even in small households.

LS Tractor + sprayer

LS tractors can be equipped with a sprayer for specialized crop protection treatments. It is used for spraying crop protection products, irrigation and foliar fertilization. It is also an indispensable device for combating nuisance crop pests, as well as for controlling insects that are a nuisance to people and animals over large areas.

LS Tractor + trailer

A versatile farm trailer is a basic and indispensable farm tool used for any type of work, including greenhouse work. Thanks to the mobility of LS Tractors with a wide range of trailers, whether single-axle with a maximum payload of 1.5 tons or two-axle with a payload of 2.5 tons, LS Tractors will be helpful when transporting crops.

LS Tractor + weeder

Both mechanical and hydraulic weeder can be attached to an LS brand tractor.
Weeders are extremely necessary and environmentally friendly equipment. This is because they allow you to dispense with or reduce the use of chemical preparations aimed at eliminating unwanted weeds. The weeder is designed to remove weeds and loosen the soil from crops growing in rows at a spacing that allows a farm tractor to pass freely. This device is ideal for such crops as strawberries, cucumbers, young currants, etc. plantings up to a height of 50 cm.

A greenhouse is an ideal place to grow some herbs, such as basil, marjoram, lovage, thyme, coriander, tarragon, mint, oregano, sage, lemongrass.

Advantages of growing plants in a greenhouse

Crops can be grown in the ground. However, greenhouses and tunnels are becoming increasingly popular on farms, as growing under cover offers many advantages. Among the advantages certainly include:

• the specific microclimate that such a cover creates by providing plants with optimal conditions for development, thereby extending their growing season;
• plants grown in a greenhouse are less vulnerable to pest attacks and harmful weather conditions;
• some plants are particularly thermophilic and have specific requirements provided by the greenhouse;
• the possibility of obtaining a much larger crop of better quality.

However, in order for all the effort to bring satisfactory results, professional equipment is necessary. The LS Tractor brand has a wide selection of both LS Tractor MT 1.25 mini tractors and LS Tractor XJ 25 tractors for smaller greenhouses, a whole series of MT3 tractors for larger spaces, and all the necessary tooling to take care of your greenhouse crops.
