Compact tractors may be small, but they can handle a wide range of projects. Read on for some popular ways to make the most of this versatile piece of farm equipment.
Lawn Care
Trim the Grass
Keep your yard in great shape by adding a mowing deck to a compact tractor. This can be a great alternative to buying a mower! It’ll save you money and can take up less storage space.
Manage Tougher Vegetation
For tougher jobs that a standard mower cannot tackle, a rotary cutter attachment comes in handy.
Fight Back Against Weeds
Compact tractors can be paired with spraying attachments in order to kill those pesky weeds.
Animal Management
Feed Animals Efficiently
Feed needs to be transported from its storage space into the barn. This can be tedious to do by walking. But it can be less-than-ideal to use a gas guzzling pickup truck.
That’s where a compact tractor comes in handy. Use it to quickly and easily move feed to its destination.
Clean Out Stalls
Thanks to the small size of a compact tractor, it can more easily fit inside barns and livestock stalls. This makes for easy cleaning out of the stalls.
Driveway Maintenance
Repair Routes
Gravel and dirt roads can lose their shape over time, especially after heavy rains. With blade and box scraper attachments, a compact tractor can be used to push materials back into place and then level them.
Clear Off Blocked Routes
If you live in an area with snow, a compact tractor can utilize a blade attachment to move unwanted snow off of a driveway.
Landscaping
Compact tractors can help with many different personal or professional landscaping projects.
For example:
- Use a rake attachment to grab fallen pine needles, then take them to your dump site.
- Use a grapple bucket attachment to move brush into a pile, then transport it elsewhere.
- Use a tiller attachment to aerate land before planting a vegetable or flower garden.
- Haul landscaping tools and materials to and from the project site.
Plus, the lightweight nature of compact tractors means that they will impact the ground less than their heavier counterparts.
Dig Ditches
With a backhoe attachment, a compact tractor can efficiently create ditches. This can be used to make holes for fence posts or planting trees.
Family Time
All work and no play isn’t ideal! Compact tractors can also be used for family fun. For example, clear away an area to build a bonfire for roasting S’mores or take your kids and their friends on a hayride!
