Tips for choosing agricultural tractors

Tractor classification

Classification by use

1. Industrial tractors: mainly used in road construction, mining, water conservancy, petroleum and construction projects, and can also be used for farmland capital construction operations.

2. Forestry tractors: mainly used for timber collection in forest areas, that is, collecting and transporting felled wood to forest farms.

3. Agricultural tractors: tractors are the main power machinery in agricultural mechanized production. They can be equipped with different operating machinery to complete operations such as plowing, harrowing, sowing, harvesting, intertillage, drainage and irrigation, fertilization, spraying, agricultural and sideline product processing, as well as ditching, digging, bulldozing and transportation.

Classification by walking device

1. Crawler (also called chain track) tractor: The walking device of crawler tractors is crawlers. They are mainly suitable for field operations in heavy and wet soil, farmland water conservancy, earthwork and other farmland capital construction work.

2. Hand tractors: they have only one walking wheel axle. If there is only one wheel on the axle, it is called a single-wheel tractor, and if there are two wheels, it is called a two-wheel tractor.

3. Wheeled tractor: It has two running wheel axles. If there are three wheels on the axle, it is called a three-wheel tractor; if there are four wheels, it is called a four-wheel tractor. What we usually call wheeled tractors refer to two types of tractors: double-axle three-wheel and four-wheel.

Classification of agricultural tractors

1. Ordinary tractors are mainly used for mobile operations, fixed operations and transportation operations in farmland under general conditions.

2. Cultivation tractors are characterized by large ground clearance (generally above 630 mm) and narrow tires.

3. Gardening tractors are characterized by small size, maneuverability and low power, such as walk-behind tractors and small four-wheel tractors.

4. Special tractors are suitable for working in special working environments or for adapting to certain special needs.

Model selection

Agricultural tractors are of three types: walk-behind, wheeled and crawler tractors; they can be divided into large, medium and small tractors according to power. When buying a tractor, you should choose a model based on the type, amount and intensity of the main farmland operations of the surrounding farmers. At the same time, you should also choose according to the specific conditions of other agricultural machinery operators.

It is not easy for farmers to save money. Buying tractors is often an investment behavior to make more money. Therefore, whether it is worth buying a tractor, we must first measure their performance-price ratio. The so-called tractor performance-price ratio refers to the ratio of the performance of the tractor to its price. A good tractor is one with good performance and low price.

Selection, inspection and test run

Check the appearance of the shell, castings, and tires, check the safety protection devices, whether the safety warning signs are complete, and whether the operating mechanism is reliable. When testing, check the engine oil level, add diesel and cooling water, and stop the car for water and oil leakage inspection.

Check the random accessories and ask for invoices

Check and verify the random accessories, certificates and documents, product certificates, agricultural machinery promotion license stamps, "three guarantees" certificates (service cards), instruction manuals, maintenance manuals and accessories. After purchasing the goods, take the initiative to ask the seller for an invoice officially printed by the financial and taxation departments.

Check the origin

Buying a tractor depends on the brand and its manufacturer. The brand is not blown up. Moreover, brand-name products are recognized by the public in long-term use, or approved by authoritative departments, with reliable product quality, advanced performance, wide product coverage, and good after-sales service.
