Apr. 30 2020 Ownership Tips By ___

Tractors are without a doubt a quintessential part of any farm or even for some large properties. They’re highly versatile, thanks to the myriad of attachments you can use for a wide range of projects you might have on your to-do list. But you might not realize just how many of those projects your tractor can help you with. That’s why Cobb’s Tractor has provided the top five ways you can use your tractor to help you out in the fields, yard, or other areas. You can also use this as a way to help you decide if a tractor is going to be worth the investment.

Farming

Of course, farming is the classic use for your tractor. Tending the fields requires a lot of different tools to accomplish a number of different tasks, all of which play important roles in improving your yield. At some point, you probably stopped doing some or most of these tasks by hand.

The next step is to get one machine to do them all. By switching out the implements, you can use your tractor for mowing, planting, tilling, harvesting, weed removal, fertilizer, herbicide application, and so much more. This way, you don’t have to make room for a bunch of different machines, just a few different attachments.

You can also use a tractor to help with livestock management. This can include moving and cutting bales of hay or help with building pens and enclosures. If there’s a task to be done on your farm, there’s a good chance your tractor can help.

Gardening

Even if you have a smaller plot of land, a compact tractor might be able to provide you with all the same helpful applications, just on a slightly smaller scale. That way, you won’t have to maintain a giant tractor when you don’t need one. Getting your machine to do things like dig trenches and clear brush away can save you time and effort for other things.

Landscaping

There’s more to caring for your property than growing crops. That’s why you can also use your tractor for other landscaping tasks, like mowing. Mowing tractors, and mowing attachments, can make it easy to maintain a large yard or tame one with grass that’s out of control.

On top of that, you can use them for other tasks, like digging holes to plant trees and bushes or help clear away brush and prepare your land for other gardens or projects.

Debris Removal

Speaking of clearing away brush, one of the most commonly used attachments on a tractor is the bucket attachment, which can be perfect for clearing or moving debris or other material. If you want to clear out some of that overgrown part of your property, a tractor can help you move the debris quickly over long distances.

You can also use your tractor to move other material like gravel or bark dust. There are even attachments that can help you move felled logs. It’s definitely the bit of extra elbow grease you need to make a big project easier.

Construction

Tractors can even double as construction equipment. You probably won’t see them on bigger sites, but it might prevent you from needing to rent out a machine for a project in your property. Implements like the trencher, auger, and even that bucket attachment we mentioned can cover all your bases. Not to mention, there are many tractor tires designed for more rugged terrain or difficult work.

With all this in mind, you’re probably ready to find a tractor of your own. Contact Cobb’s Tractor and we’ll help you find the perfect machine for your operation, no matter how big. We’re happy to help all those from Eustis, Orlando, and Lake City, Florida.
