About Farm Tractor | Agricultural Tractor for Plowing, Tillage & Transport
A farm tractor is a powered vehicle that pulls and powers farming implements for plowing, tilling, planting, mowing, spraying, hauling and transport. Compact and utility tractors from about 25 to 100 HP cover most small and medium farms, while larger row-crop and articulated models serve big operations. Key specifications include engine horsepower, 2WD or 4WD drive, power take-off speed for implements, three-point hitch category and hydraulic lift capacity, all of which must match the implements and terrain of the farm.

- Drive type: 2WD for flat dry fields or 4WD for slopes and wet soil
- PTO speed and three-point hitch category for your implements
