5 Ways to Use Your Compact Tractor

As the mainstay of the agricultural industry, tractors have long performed a variety of tasks on farms around the world, saving farmers both time and money with their efficiency. However, larger tractor models are not necessarily always warranted on smaller farming operations, which is where their cousins, compact tractors, come into play. 

So how can you use a compact tractor to best effect on your farm? Eastman Equipment Company is your Georgia compact tractor dealer, serving Dublin and Warner Robins, GA. Here are some of the best ways you can make use of a compact tractor for your work.

1. Managing Livestock

Your animals need a lot of care, and that usually involves a fair amount of heavy lifting. In order to avoid doing too much stressful and straining manual labor, use your compact tractor to clear out stalls, move manure, transport feed and lay down fresh hay. You can even fit your compact tractor into smaller spaces that a bigger machine couldn’t access.

2. Tending Fields

Compact tractors are capable of performing many of the same tasks that their larger brethren can perform. If you’ve got smaller fields or have to work in tight conditions, then compact tractors can be a much more efficient choice that helps to make your work more precise. Not only that, but the lighter weight of a compact tractor is less likely to press down the soil too much.

3. Maintaining Driveways & Roads

The roads and driveways on your property will likely need to be smoothed out every so often to prevent holes and ditches from forming. A box scraper attachment on your compact tractor can help to level out your roads and driveways.

4. Digging Trenches & Foundations 

If you need to build a fence, a shed or a barn, a compact tractor with a backhoe attachment can help you to dig up the earth quickly and easily. You can also use your tractor to create holes for posts and trees with an auger.

5. Mowing Lawns

Compact tractors can also make excellent lawn mowers for larger tracts of grass that would be very time-consuming to mow with a push mower. Attach a mowing attachment to your compact tractor and take care of your grass in no time.
