Buying Tractor Attachments

While your tractor is certainly an impressive machine in its own right, it’s not exceedingly useful without the right attachments. Tractor attachments allow you to use your tractor to perform a wide range of tasks on your farm or ranch, from cultivating and tilling to hauling cargo in a trailer. Here’s what to know about buying attachments for your tractor.

How Attachments Are Used

There are dozens of different attachment types, including items that are used for plowing, tilling, cultivating, towing trailers, mowing grass, and digging. In order to use them, though, your tractor will either have to have a PTO, a drawbar, or a hitch, and it’s important to know how your tractor can take attachments so you don’t buy the wrong types.

What to Consider

When you’re shopping for an attachment, you’ll need to factor in your make and model of tractor so that you can select the attachments that will work best with it. Check the owner’s manual to see what is recommended and make sure that you have your tractor’s parameters in mind. Also, consider whether a given attachment can fulfill more than one need so that you aren’t wasting money on pieces of equipment that you won’t use.
