Compact tractors have all the versatility of a full-sized tractor while being smaller and thus cheaper and easier to maintain/store. They’re absolutely perfect for smaller scale farming operations. If you’d like an overview of compact tractors and which model might be right for you, this guide from Boehm Tractor Sales has the answers. 

How Will You Use Your Compact Tractor?

It’s important to keep your farm’s needs in mind while shopping for compact tractors. Beyond just having sufficient engine power to complete a particular task, your compact tractor will need to be compatible with whichever implements or attachments you plan to use with it. Models can vary a lot when it comes to features, so do your research before you buy. 

Horsepower

Larger and more powerful engines cost more. That’s why compact tractor manufacturers usually make several horsepower options available for particular models. This makes it easier for customers to find a compact tractor that has as much engine power as they need without overspending on more horsepower than they’ll use. Try to figure out exactly how much horsepower you’ll need before you start shopping. 

Terrain

Compact tractors can function in a variety of different environments, but one thing they tend to struggle with is sharp inclines. If your property has a lot of sharp inclines, look for compact tractor models that offer improved stability.
