The development Trend of Farm Tractor
Dec 16, 2025
1. The average power keeps increasing. Regardless of whether agricultural tractors or industrial tractors, in order to improve the productivity of a single machine, the average power continues to increase, but the growth rate has a decreasing trend. In North America and the Soviet Union, due to the small population and large scale of agricultural production, most of them used large agricultural machinery and equipped with corresponding high-power tractors. In general developing countries, small and medium power tractors are still the main ones, but their average power is also increasing.
2. Wheeled tractors have an absolute advantage in agricultural tractors. Crawler tractors are basically not used in agricultural production in many countries. In the Soviet Union, Italy and China, although some crawler tractors are still in use, their proportion is also declining. In industrial tractors, especially bulldozers, excavators and other models, the crawler still has an absolute advantage. With the increase of tractor power, four-wheel drive tractors have developed rapidly. The application of hydraulic steering device can solve the difficult steering problem of this model, and the articulated steering can greatly reduce the turning radius. These factors have further promoted the development of high-power four-wheel drive tractors. In order to improve the traction attachment performance and passing capacity in paddy fields, the four-wheel drive variants of small and medium-power wheeled tractors have also achieved rapid development in Japan and other countries.
3. More and more attention is paid to the safety, ease of operation and comfort of the working environment of tractors. A well-designed and manufactured cab and various instruments can not only improve the driver's working conditions and ensure safety, but also improve labor productivity and work quality.
