A Look At The Many Uses Of Farm Tractor Implements Today

By Tom Mallory

Farm tractors are designed to be used in many different types of location. The tractors can be in the building of highways, in construction projects, and on large parcels of land. When a tractor is being used for many different purposes, it is important that the farm tractor implements that are needed will fit properly on the tractor.

There are many sizes and styles of farm tractors. Some of the tractors are extremely large with implements built in to the frame of the tractor. Other farm tractors are smaller with a hitch on which the implement can be secured and used. The tractors provide an easy and versatile way to accomplish many of the tasks that must be done to maintain and properly run a large parcel of land.

On large parcels of residential land and golf courses, the most common compact tractor attachments that are seen are bushhogs. These are mowing attachments that attach to the tractor with a hitch. The blades of the mower can be adjusted and are made of a heavy duty steel that allows them to cut through most obstructions in the field.

A large field that must be planted as quickly as possible is one challenge that is faced by many farmers. Using the planting system designed for farm tractors makes the job of preparing the soil and planting seeds much easier. The cultivator, hopper and tiller are all part of the planting system. These implements provide the foundation for getting seeds and fertilizer into the soil evenly and effectively.

Farm tractors are very versatile when used in mountainous areas. In the past a snow blower and grader were separate pieces of equipment that were used independently of each other. With a farm tractor a combination of snow blower and grader can be attached to the tractor easily.

The attachments for a farm tractor are varied and have been designed to meet the unique needs of the tractor. A pond scoop attachment has been designed with a lower platform that reaches the bottom of a pond easily. In some cases the scoop implement attaches on the front of the tractor using attachments that fit on the hydraulic lift mechanism of the tractor.

Many of the implements used on tractors are made using systems and mechanisms that are weighted to make them easy to manipulate and put in the hitch. When the attachment has been placed on the hitch there are safety harnesses for the equipment to keep it from coming loose if a bump or large object is encountered when plowing or driving the tractor.

A chain harrow is used in many paddocks and large arena areas. This attachment acts as an aerator and turns the soil so that the arena has a surface that is soft and level.

Farm tractor implements are made in many sizes and designs. This is done specifically for the multitude of farm tractors that are made. When an implement is needed that may not be available widely on the market, it is possible for a farmer to have an attachment specially made to fit their tractor. Many companies that build tractors also make the many implements that will fit that tractor.
