Tractors are the most commonly used agricultural power machinery in agricultural machinery. They can be equipped with other machines to complete various operations such as tillage, sowing, harvesting and transportation. The following introduces how to choose a tractor:
- Categories of tractor selection
Agricultural tractors include three types: walk-behind tractors, wheeled tractors and crawler tractors. Among the above three types of tractors, wheeled tractors are the most popular. Walk-behind tractors are mainly suitable for farmland operations and short-distance transportation operations on small plots of land, and are generally used more commonly in rural areas in the south. Wheeled tractors are divided into small four-wheel tractors driven by belts and direct-drive tractors. They are generally used more in rural areas in northern my country and are mainly suitable for large-scale farmland production. Crawler tractors are mainly used in projects such as farmland infrastructure construction in rural areas.
Special tips: There are two major types of diesel engines installed on small four-wheel tractors: one is an evaporative water-cooled diesel engine; the other is a circulating water-cooled diesel engine. Since the two types of diesel engines have different structures and their parts are not interchangeable, when purchasing a tractor, you should choose a diesel engine type commonly used in your area to facilitate future repairs and maintenance. - Choosing a tractor model
Tractors can be divided into three types: large, medium, and small. Tractors with more than 25 electrical horsepower can be called large and medium, and those with less than 25 electrical horsepower can be called small. Currently, small tractors on the market are generally 5,000 to 10,000 yuan, and large and medium tractors are 10,000 to 100,000 yuan. The model should be selected based on the size of the land, the main workload, the supporting agricultural tools, and economic conditions. If you specialize in providing agricultural machinery services, you should choose the model based on the type, workload, and intensity of the main farmland operations of the farmers. If the tractors purchased by the surrounding farmers are mostly 50 electrical horsepower, you can consider purchasing a 72 or 80 tractor to have a service advantage when contracting operations. - Choosing the brand of tractor
When buying a tractor, you should look at the brand and understand its manufacturer. The brand is not “blown up”, but the manufacturer has worked hard to get the recognition of the majority of users. Famous brand products are recognized by the public or approved by the authority in long-term use. You must recognize the factory name, address and trademark, and check the production date. - Choosing high-quality service for tractors
Generally speaking, if you choose a large manufacturer or a famous brand product, the quality will be guaranteed. When purchasing, you should check whether the invoice is a formal invoice, whether there is a certificate of conformity, whether there is a diamond-shaped agricultural machinery promotion license (China Agricultural Machinery Product Quality Certification, i.e. CAM certification mark), whether there are three guarantee certificates and instructions, i.e. “one ticket, three certificates, and one book”.
