What are the main uses of a farm tractor?
The primary purpose of agricultural tractors is to serve as power machinery for agricultural production. By attaching different implements or equipment, they can perform various field operations such as plowing, sowing, and harvesting. They can also be used for rural transportation and stationary work, making them one of the core pieces of equipment in modern agriculture.
1. Agricultural field operations
2. Rural transportation operations
By utilizing the pulling power of a tractor, trailers or wagons can be attached to transport agricultural products, fertilizers, pesticides, farm implements, and other materials. This is suitable for situations where ordinary vehicles have difficulty passing, such as field paths and rural roads, making it an important tool for short-distance transportation in rural areas.
3. Fixed power output operation
Some tractors can provide power to agricultural equipment such as threshing machines, winnowing machines, water pumps, and feed grinders through their power take-off (PTO) shafts, replacing separate electric motors or diesel engines and reducing equipment investment costs.
4. Specialized agricultural operations
For special scenarios such as orchards, greenhouses, and sloping fields, small or specialized tractors can be equipped with compatible implements to perform precise tasks such as fertilizing fruit trees, tilling soil in greenhouses, and weeding on slopes; they can also be used for auxiliary tasks such as pumping water for irrigation and clearing snow.
