5 Reasons to Buy a Tractor

The tractor has become a staple of farms and ranches around the world. This infinitely useful piece of equipment is versatile, strong and capable of making formerly challenging tasks much easier. Tractors are used for managing livestock, planting and harvesting crops, attending to property repairs and even construction work. But what’s your reason to buy one?

As your New York tractor dealer, Upstate Equipment in Lockport, serving Buffalo and Amherst, is here to help you make that decision. Keep reading to discover some of the best reasons to buy a tractor.

1. To Clear Land

If you’ve got a big tract of land that’s full of organic debris, your tractor can help you to make short work of it. Use a front-end loader attachment on your tractor to clear away brush, debris, rocks, branches and organic matter. This way, you can clean up a piece of land to use for planting, grazing or construction.

2. To Build a Fence

Building a wooden or wire fence can be really challenging to do by hand. Use your tractor with a post-hole digger to establish your fence posts. Then, drive your tractor down the posts to spool out the wire and fix it into place. Voila, fence built!

3. To Mow the Lawn

Tractors make excellent riding lawn mowers with a mowing attachment affixed to them. Save yourself both time and effort by using a tractor to efficiently and neatly mow your lawn. You can choose a rotary mower that you drag behind the tractor, or a finishing mower that will give you more manicured results.

4. To Build a Structure

Make your construction projects go more quickly with the help of a tractor. Your tractor can be outfitted with a backhoe attachment to dig lines and move sand or gravel. A forklift attachment can help you to load heavy equipment. A simple bucket can help clear away dirt and debris.

5. To Plant Crops

Of course, the most common use for tractors and the reason they were developed was to make the planting of crops easier and faster than it had been historically. Tillers, cultivators, spreaders, seeders, threshers and other useful attachments will help you to prepare your soil, plant your seeds, cull weed growth and harvest your crops, avoiding a lot of difficult work that would have otherwise have to be done by hand.
