Best Farm Tractors on the Market

Farm tractors have been a part of rural farming for decades. From the very first, a farmers tractor has been his main source of equipment as to whether he would be able to harvest his crop, thus feeding his family and providing an income for himself.
When one thinks of brands of farm tractors, one of the first that comes to mind is John Deere. This company has been in business since 1837. It started out as a one man operation consisting of a blacksmith and his small shop, and became a large corporation that employs nearly 56,000 people. They are the leading manufacturer of agriculture equipment, including many types and styles of farm tractors. They offer a complete line of farming services. If you are in the market for a new John Deere tractor, they have many options to chose from. You can even build your own, customizing it to your exact needs. They have tractors that run off of 18 horse power engines, all the way up to types that have 530 horse power engines that will handle any size harvest needs. The John Deere farm tractor is known as one of the easiest brands to learn to operate and one the longest lasting. If you are unsure which type of tractor you need, they offer a small and large tractor analyzer. You simply insert the information and the analyzer will give you the latest farm tractors available that might suit your needs.
For a smaller type of tractor, they offer the 5,000 Series. This tractor is recommend for farms of all sizes, large estates, ranch owners or those who have property they use to hunt on that needs cleared every so often. It has up to 260 accessories that you can purchase, making it able to do a big variety of jobs. It runs on between 45 and 101 horse power, can mow up to forty acres, has a lifting capability of around four thousand pounds and can bale up to sixty acres.

Another company that was in the farm tractor business for many years, was the Ford company. This company was founded in 1917 and evolved onto being one of the most well known and popular companies for those in the market for a new tractor. Unfortunately they sold the business to Fiat in the 1990's but used tractors are still on the market for sale, as are parts for the old Ford tractor you may have sitting in your barn in need of repair. Using "Ford Tractors" as a keyword can help you view all the parts and used tractors that are currently for sale.

Buying used Kubota tractors is a great way to get a fantastic work machine for a small amount of money. You can find used Kubotas by scanning classified ads in your local newspaper, by reading online classified ads and by visiting garage sales. When you are shopping for your used Kubota make sure that you select a machine that still has good bones. It is much easier to replace worn out mechanical parts then it is to fix body and structural problems.

The first series is the BX Series. This series offers models with between 15 and 22 horsepower and they are used for light residential work. The second series is the TLB Series. This series offers models that have between 21 and 48 horse power and they are designed for light commercial work like landscaping, material handling and trenching.
For larger residential and moderate agricultural work you will want to look at the B Series. This series offers models that have between 18 and 30 horse power. For agricultural work and light to moderate commercial work then you will want to take a look at the L Series. This series offers models with between 31 and 59 horse power. The M Series is a large work horse. Models in this series offer between 43 and 103 horse power. These tractors are all-purpose agricultural and ranching machines.

Kubota Tractors on the Farm

Kubota tractors have become a popular option among today's agricultural professionals. For years, staples like John Deere and Massey Ferguson have dominated the farm tractor market. One of the reasons why these tractors are enjoying growth among the traditional farm crowd is because of the proven reliability of Kubota tractors.
Kubota's are designed in Japan and much like Japanese automobiles, the same quality standards are applied to their tractors. Although they have only been available in the United States since the late 1960's Kubota tractors have earned a good reputation among farmers.
For most farm applications, farmers normally need a tractor above 40 horsepower and although Kubota makes very good quality compact tractors, these tractors are better for landscape professionals. Growing up on a farm I became familiar with the demands of the tractor. On our small farm, we only had one 60 horsepower tractor, which meant that it had to be reliable. During seasons where the tractor is the most important piece of machinery and time is limited, the tractor has to work. We just didn't have time for breakdowns. Consider baling hay for a moment. When the sun was shining and the hay was dry, it had to be baled and the tractor had to work. A breakdown could mean that the hay got rained on and therefore was ruined.
Kubota tractors appeal to farmers because they have proven to be reliable. The L and M series Kubota tractors are well suited to farm operations as they have enough power to handle many routine farm tasks. If you're in the market for a new or used tractor, take a good look at Kubota Tractors.
