What are the main functions of an Agricultural Tractor?

Feb 26, 2022
The optimization of activities in the field is fundamental to business, as it ensures agility, cost reduction and high productivity. One of the ways to optimize operations is by making use of certain machines, such as agricultural tractors. Tractors, in particular, are very efficient in the field as they are quite versatile. This is because it is possible to attach to them various agricultural implements that have different functions. Thus, the tractor can assist in the activities of soil preparation and even in the harvest, from the simple replacement of these implements.

Agricultural tractor models
Agricultural tractors can be classified into crawler and tire tractors, the former being further subdivided by the number of driving wheels. There are tractors with two driving wheels and four driving wheels . The first category has two conventional wheels at the front and two driving wheels at the rear, larger than the front. In this sense, the front wheels are responsible for the steering of the tractor and, the rear, for the boost and locomotion. The second category, as its name suggests, has four driving wheels, which can have the following configurations:Four wheels of different sizes; Four wheels of equal sizes; Four wheels of equal sizes articulated; Four airship wheels of equal sizes. Because it has more driving wheels, the agricultural tractor has a 33% higher working capacity than the . However, this does not mean that models with two driving wheels do not perform well. There are agricultural activities that do not require much power to perform, and the use of a  tractor would not be cost-effective. The same goes for the tire tractor and the crawler tractor. As the contact area between the track and the ground is larger, if compared to that of the tire, the pressure exerted on the ground is lower. So, crawler tractors are suitable for operations on wet and sandy surfaces. In addition, the treadmills enable better performance on sloping or rough terrain. Tire tractors are more suitable for operations performed on compacted surfaces, as they adhere better to this type of terrain. Therefore, what defines the performance of the tractor is the activity for which it is intended.

HarvestFinally, it is also possible to insert in the tractor various equipment that help in the harvesting phase of agricultural crops. For example: the inverter starter motor, the rail catcher, the overflow trailer, the washing machine blower, the reaper and the bulk carrier.

How to choose an agricultural tractor?
As said, there is no one model of tractor superior to another, as each type has advantages and disadvantages depending on the characteristics of the soil. But, one thing is certain: regardless of the model chosen, it is necessary to acquire a tractor manufactured by a brand with credibility in the market.
