Which Tractor Implements Do You Need?
Tractors are great for getting plenty of work done more quickly and efficiently than anyone can do by hand, but even seasoned tractor owners may not know just how versatile their equipment can be. In fact, you’ll be hard-pressed to find any land management work that your tractor can’t do — you just need the right implement. To help you get started, we here at T&E Small Engine have put together this list of versatile tractor implements.
Tillage
A tillage tractor attachment will turn field prep into something of an afterthought. Taking the time to properly calibrate your equipment will save you time in the long run and keep fuel and equipment costs down. You’ll also maximize yield potential through a better seedbed. Whatever you’re after, whether it’s residue management or seedbed prep, a well-adjusted implement will mean fewer trips to the field and crop performance.
Loader Attachment
One of the more versatile tractor implements is the loader, which is simply two arms extending in front of the machine. You can attach different parts to these arms, such as a pallet loader or bucket. No matter what you put on the end of a loader, you’ll be able to fully use the strength of your tractor on other tasks, such as moving material or pulling pallets off a trailer.
Auger
Dig holes with speed and accuracy using an auger attachment. Heavy-duty hydraulics let the auger attachment bite into any soil condition with ease and efficiency. Even in hard and rocky soil, the high torque keeps the auger steady and powerful to maintain performance.
Compactor
A plate compactor allows you to compact dirt without leaving the comfort of the tractor cab. This tractor attachment provides a more powerful compaction force than a hand-operated compactor. The compact design of the plate enables compacting even in hard-to-reach areas like down in the trenches and on slopes.
Cutter
For cutting and clearing heavy brush and pastures, you’ll want to consider a cutter attachment. Rugged, durable construction means these implements can handle even the roughest of terrains with row and width adjustment so you can keep things moving quickly.
These common implements are great for most tractors. If you need an implement, or if you’re still looking for a tractor, stop by T&E Small Engine in Floyd, VA. We proudly serve all those in Roanoke and Christiansburg.
