The agricultural and industrial spheres cannot do without a wheeled tractor. It represents the class of high-efficiency vehicles, capable of multitasking.
Key technical benefits include high tractive power and substantial load capacity. Therefore, it is only fair that wheeled tractors cannot operate at high speeds. And if anyone finds a blemish in this regard, it’s reasonable to mention that speed is another benefit of wheeled models compared to tracked tractors.
Profitability is of paramount importance. The wide functionality of the wheeled tractor versions also comes from their relatively low total costs (including maintenance and fuel consumption). High levels of productivity are only possible in case of operation on dry soils or hard surface pavements. In addition, wheeled tractors are designed to minimize the impact on the upper layers of the road.
Modern tractors are made to be much more than just towing machines. Multifunctional use is a high priority. The diversity of implements expands the possible practical applications of a vehicle.
Planting preparation and driveway grading require the use of rear blades. As a bonus, it perfectly manages snow removal. When buying a blade, consider the width of your tractor and select the blade that is wide enough. If the dimensions are too large, the tractor may lack the power to operate it. Otherwise, the blade will not be as efficient. The prices depend on the flexibility of the sheet. The cheaper but less practical blades fit the shaft vertically. The more expensive tools involve vertical and horizontal axis rotation, allowing drivers to lower the blade to one side or the other.
Mowing jobs are easily accomplished with rear finishing mowers. They have a system of three blades with adjustable cutting height. Long and successful operation presupposes some restrictions on use. Therefore, mowers are not designed to cut thick weeds or shrubs. Also, they can do their best alone in large open spaces, as these implements are difficult to maneuver at tight angles. The best offerings include 4-gauge wheels, a heavy deck, and separate-belted outer blades.
Large fields, covered in weeds and overgrown grass, need a rotary mower as an implement. It is designed to cut brush up to 2 inches in diameter. Please note that rotary mowers are heavy-duty cutting tools and are not replacements for lawn mowers. Therefore, if the cutting height is set too low, there is a chance of scrapping the ground. The peculiarities of the operation require extra caution and chain guards.
To improve the sowing and fertilization process, take advantage of a spreader attached to your tractor. The spreaders are manufactured in two versions: rotary and pendulum action. The second type features a symmetrical distribution pattern regardless of the material you are spreading. Both versions require swath width adjustment depending on the material being spread.
In summary, the optimal choice of a wheeled tractor consists in defining its practical applications and considering the following main parameters: a category of traction power, engine power and axle configuration.
