Reasons to Buy a Utility Tractor
Tractors are vital tools for any number of industries, from agriculture to construction to mining to landscaping. But these machines come in a variety of sizes, so how do you know which one is best for you? Though different manufacturers sometimes use different terms, the largest and most powerful tractors are often called utility tractors, and they deserve your consideration!
We here at Mike Cooper Tractors want to help you get exactly the right equipment, so we’ve put together some of the reasons you might want a utility tractor, below. To learn more, or to see the tractors we have for sale, contact our store in Fort Gibson, Oklahoma, today!
You Need More Power
Utility tractors tend to be beefier than compact or subcompact tractors, not to mention significantly larger. With that size comes a more powerful engine, more efficient PTOs, and 45 to 110 horsepower or more. With all that, you can tackle just about any job that requires heavy lifting and a lot of power.
You Need a Versatile Tool
Because utility tractors have that extra power, and because they come with a three-point hitch and plenty of PTOs, they’re compatible with a wide variety of implements and attachments. With the right ones, your tractor can
Do every single crop-related task from clearing a field to harvesting
Dig and move large amounts of soil and material
Transport trailers and containers of supplies, materials, and tools
Mow the lawn
A utility tractor can use just about any tool a tractor can use.
You Want to Save Money
As some of the largest tractors around, it’s easy to see the price tag and think you’re paying too much. But a larger and more powerful tractor that can use just about any implement or attachment is basically the world’s biggest multitool. Using a utility tractor and a decent variety of implements, you’ll be able to accomplish more jobs with fewer machines, which will save you considerable money in the long run. You won’t need to buy multiple machines to do all those jobs, and you won’t need to insure and maintain multiple machines either!
You Need a Safe and Stable Tractor
As the larger end of the tractor spectrum, utility tractors tend to be heavier and have wider footprints than other tractor sizes. This grants them an increased degree of stability, particularly on slopes, in wet environments, or on loose materials like gravel or sand. For environments like construction sites, mining sites, and other areas where the landscape isn’t well-packed, utility tractors are the safest size of tractor to employ.
