How Are Tractors Used?

Tractors are important tools for the agricultural industry and many other sectors. They’re designed to complete tasks that would otherwise be difficult, time consuming or impossible to complete! Our team at Enlow Tractor Auction has put together a brief guide to different ways tractors can be used. 

1. Preparing Ground

Tractors are often used in conjunction with implements to prepare the seed bed for planting. Plows, cultivators, and other implements are connected with a 3-point hitch!

2. Planting

Once the ground is prepped, you can use a tractor with a planter to sow your seeds. They utilize the PTO, or power take-off, to operate the controls on the planter. 

3. Fertilizing

After your seeds are planted, you’ll probably need to add fertilizer to help them grow! Tractors can pull fertilizer implements that can directly inject nutrients into the soil. 

4. Harvesting

Many crops have specific harvesting equipment, but some of the equipment will be pulled by tractors to operate! For example, hay balers are pulled by a tractor during harvest.

5. Material Hauling 

Tractors can also be used for more than working in the fields. Many models can also be equipped with attachments, such as front loaders, to haul materials. Whether you need to feed livestock or move raw materials, tractors can help you get the job done.
