5 Ways To Use a Compact Tractor
Compact tractors may be small in size, but they are packed full of potential. Farmers can take advantage of their versatility to accomplish a wide range of agricultural tasks.
Below we cover some of the best ways to make use of a compact tractor. For more tips or to explore compact tractors for sale, visit Cliff Jones Mahindra Tractor. Our dealership is based in Sealy, Texas, and we also serve those in Houston and Victoria.
Livestock Management
A compact tractor can more easily fit inside animal stalls, pens, and barns, which makes livestock management much easier.
For example, quickly move feed and hay from storage to your animals. Or you can clean out their living spaces and transport manure and bedding to your dump pile.
There are plenty of livestock management tasks that may not be accessible by your vehicle or other farm equipment, but can also be tedious when done on foot. A compact tractor can speed these projects up with ease.
Field Management
Sure, a compact tractor may not be the best match for maintaining a giant property. But not everyone needs to tend to a massive field. For those smaller areas, a compact tractor can be a great match. Its lightweight nature leads to less soil compaction and its tight turning radius leads to more precise operation.
Road and Path Management
Many farms contain various pathways, from gravel driveways to dirt trails. These paths can get worn down over time. Weather and foot traffic can scatter the various materials that make up the roads and trails.
That's where a compact tractor enters the picture.
Using a blade or box scraper attachment, a compact tractor can organize and level the materials used to make these paths. Easily create and maintain the routes found throughout your farm.
Yard Management
A compact tractor can be transformed into an effective mower with the right attachments. This can serve many purposes.
First, a mowing attachment can be a more affordable alternative to buying a lawn mower. Save money (and equipment storage space) by skipping the mower purchase and utilize a compact tractor attachment instead.
Second, a mowing attachment could be designed to handle projects that a standard mower cannot. Some models are able to handle thicker grass or higher levels of grass growth than a traditional model. This is especially helpful for overgrown areas full of difficult vegetation.
Fence Management
Before you can build a fence, you need to create holes for the posts to go into. A compact tractor can pair with a backhoe attachment and quickly dig the needed holes.
