Buying the Right Tractor

Each workday differs, but when you have the right tractor you can anticipate things will go a bit easier. It can feel difficult to navigate the options you have available, but it’s very important to be thorough with your search to find the exact model you need. Our team at Agrivision Equipment has put together a quick guide to help you determine what you’re looking for in a tractor.

1. The Purpose Matters

As you go through the buying process, it’s helpful to always keep the tractor’s purpose in mind. Knowing exactly how you intend to use the machine after the purchase will help you look for the right features and specifications! When you think about this aspect, try to think long-term as well. You won’t want to choose something hastily and then in a few years realize you actually needed something different. 

2. Don’t Ignore Comfort

It’s very easy to focus solely on things like horsepower and weight capacities, but there are other factors that shouldn’t go unnoticed. Operator comfort can seem frivolous, yet you’ll likely be spending a lot of time behind the wheel of your tractor! So, ignoring things like seating, in-cab technology, and whether or not there’s an A/C unit can actually harm your purchasing decision in the long run. Having a comfortable operating experience can improve your productivity and actually help you look forward to the tasks ahead. 

3. Stick to Your Budget

Although it can be tempting to beeline straight for the newest tech and coolest features, you’ll want to keep your budget in mind. Before you visit us in Iowa, take some time to evaluate what you’d like to spend on a tractor and any accessories you may need for it. That way, we’ll be able to help you get the best option in your price range.
