How Do You Plan to Use Your Compact Tractor?

If you plan to use your new compact tractor to move lots of earth, gravel or other building materials, you’ll have different needs from someone who uses it primarily for agricultural purposes such as mowing, tilling, and more. 

Horsepower

In particular, moving heavy material demands greater horsepower and a more powerful engine. 

Attachments

If there are certain attachments that you know you’ll be depending on, do your research so you know you can find a compatible attachment for the compact tractor you’re considering. Talk to our staff – we can help evaluate your options

Terrain

Whether you’ll be using your compact tractor on level ground or sloped terrain can influence the features and power you require. In addition, you want tires that are compatible with the surface you’ll primarily be working on. For example, if you’ll be doing lots of mowing you will be better off with turf tires instead of heavy-duty tires. 

Our team is standing by to help you find the perfect compact tractor for your unique set of needs. Come see us at Tractor Bob’s in Oklahoma City, OK, and we’ll be happy to help you with all your questions and concerns.
