Compact tractors are like the Swiss army knives of agriculture equipment. With the right attachments, they can do many jobs around your property, like mowing grass, hauling materials, moving hay bales, and digging ditches. Generally they have a 25 to 50 horsepower engine. A compact tractor is great if you have up to 100 acres of land to work.
Picking the right size and strength of a tractor will depend on what kind of jobs you’re planning on using your tractor for. For example, if you have 15 acres and you want a tractor for mowing, hauling, and tilling, a 20 to 30 horsepower tractor would be a good choice. If you have 50 acres, a 50 horsepower tractor would be better.
Does your land have any steep inclines? If so, you’ll need a more powerful engine, between 30 and 50 horsepower, to get over them.
Do you plan on lifting heavy materials, like trees, lumber, rocks, or soil? Make sure to get a compact tractor well above the weight so you can avoid any accidents.
