With a four-wheel drive tractor, the front end will pull itself and the likelihood of losing traction is decreased. We have found that dealers and manufacturers who shy away from selling four-wheel drive tractors are usually not competitive from a price standpoint with other four-wheel drive tractors.

What gives your tractor the power to lift and dig? Many tractor attachments connect to the hydraulic system using selective control valves SCV , also known as spool valves or remotes. For example, a flexwing rotary cutters and similar implements typically require two SCVs: one to lift the cutter and one to fold the wings. Be sure to determine the hydraulic pump capacity of the tractor you want to purchase.
The capacity is measured in gallons per minute GPM. What kind of tires do you need? Tractors come with tires in a variety of sizes. Larger tires provide more ground clearance. Talk with your dealer about how you plan to use your tractor and the type of terrain on your property. Your dealer will recommend the appropriate tire size and tread style.
You also will choose from among the three commonly available selections for tire tread for subcompact and compact tractors:. R-3 turf tread has the least traction but protects the ground and is ideally suited for lawn mowing and other turf care tractor applications. R-4 industrial tread Industrial tread provides excellent traction in many tractor operating conditions. R-4 is a popular compromise between the aggressiveness of ag tires and the lower traction of turf tires.
