Tractors

This category brings together agricultural tractors, compact tractors and lawn tractors, new or used. Agricultural tractors provide traction and drive the hitched implements on farms, in livestock farming or in market gardening. Compact tractors, small and often four-wheel drive, are suited to small areas, green spaces and estate work. Lawn tractors are designed primarily for mowing large lawns.

Selection criteria

1. Power

   Power, expressed in horsepower (hp) or kilowatts (kW), is chosen according to the implements to be driven and the area to be worked. Also check the power available at the PTO, which is lower than the engine power.

2. Transmission

   A manual gearbox is simple and robust; a hydrostatic transmission makes manoeuvring and working at low speed easier. A shuttle shift allows you to change direction quickly, which is useful with a front loader.

3. Two-wheel or four-wheel drive

   Four-wheel drive improves grip on wet ground, on slopes or with a heavy implement. Agricultural tyres suit fields, while turf tyres protect lawns.

4. Linkage and hydraulics

   Check the three-point linkage category, the lift capacity and the number of hydraulic spool valves: they determine which implements you will be able to hitch and operate.

5. Cab or roll bar

   A safety roll bar is sufficient for seasonal use; a cab provides comfort and protection in winter or for dusty work. Also compare the overall dimensions if the tractor has to pass under low buildings.

6. New or used

   For a used tractor, the year and the number of hours are often included in the product name. Read the description of its condition and ask your questions before buying.
