Jun. 28 2024 Buying Guide By Bobcat of New Hampshire

When considering the purchase of a sub-compact tractor, multiple factors come into play. Understanding these key considerations lays the foundation for a confident, informed buying decision.

Purpose and Versatility

Tractors excel in a variety of uses. They can handle several tasks such as mowing, hauling, digging, lifting, plowing, and more. As you consider your tractor purchase, consider the jobs you expect it to perform. The broader your requirements, the more versatile a model you’ll want.

Engine Power

Engine power or horsepower is another primary factor. It determines how much work your tractor can handle. Bigger jobs require higher horsepower.

Transmission Type

Sub-compact tractors come with different transmission types: hydrostatic and manual. Hydrostatic transmissions are easier to operate but have higher purchasing and maintenance costs. Manual transmissions are more challenging to operate but come with lower purchasing and maintenance costs.

Compatibility with Attachments

Sub-compact tractors can be paired with numerous attachments for diverse tasks. Ensure any tractor you consider is compatible with the attachments you will need for your tasks.

Ease-of-Use

Check for features that make operation easy, like power steering, an accessible control panel, and comfortable seating.
