For an Indian farmer, their tractor is the most prized possession. And no doubt, it is a significant investment, which improves farm yield while reducing manual effort. However, not every tractor can handle all the agricultural implements and agricultural equipment that you may want to use. So, if you are in the market for a new tractor, you must ensure that your agricultural equipment can work with your new tractor.
To help make your decision easier, here’s a short guide on choosing the right tractor for your farm implements.
Why choosing the right tractor is important
Implements and farming equipment are ways to tailor the generalist power of the tractor to specific farming operations. For example, for a vast field, you’d have to use a pull-behind mower, and for tilling the field, you’d use tilling implements. Agricultural implements make farming operations straightforward, saving time, money, and manual effort.
However, not all implements are made the same—they are not universal—and not every tractor can handle agricultural implements. Some tractors may not have enough PTO power to drive the implements, and some may not be compatible with the implements in the first place, which can render the implements inoperable.
You need to determine whether or not a prospective tractor can handle the agricultural implements you have at hand. Your tractor must provide enough power output and support the implements with adequate PTO power or hydraulic pumps. This is why it’s crucial to choose the right tractor for your agricultural implements and equipment.
