Tractors are heavy machinery used for various tasks depending on size, attachments, and design. They are commonly used for agricultural, excavation, and construction purposes. Personal tractors are smaller and versatile with horsepower ranging from 20 to 200. Attachments such as front loaders, mowers, and trailers can be added. Tractor enthusiasts also collect and restore antique tractors and participate in recreational sports like tractor racing and pulling.
In general, a tractor is a heavy piece of machinery designed to do a certain type of work. The type of work this equipment can do depends on its size, the type of accessories it has or can support, and the type of tasks it is designed to perform. Technically, a tractor can be the engine of a tractor-trailer, but more commonly they are known as personal lawn mowers or those that are used for agricultural purposes. These machines are also used in excavation, manufacturing industry and construction sites.
For personal residential use, a tractor can be a general piece of equipment capable of performing a variety of household maintenance tasks. One person can use one for mowing in the summer, landscaping projects, and plowing in the winter. Tractors are also useful for hauling materials from one area of lawn to another because their tires are specially designed not to tear up grass and concrete as badly as digging equipment tends to do.
A personal tractor is usually small to medium sized, powered by a 20 to 80 horsepower engine. The largest used for heavy work can have engines of up to 200 horsepower. Horsepower is the main differentiating factor between different types of tractors. Their engines are typically run on unleaded fuel or diesel, although some may run on grain.
Another determining factor for a tractor is its versatility in terms of attachments and which ones it can support. The more options you have for attaching accessories to your machine, the higher the cost will be. Also, engine horsepower must be considered in relation to which accessories will work efficiently. Common tractor attachments include front loaders, mowers, box blades, spreaders, tillers, ploughs, trailers, and backhoes. Most of the accessories are interchangeable, so they can be used with different machines.
In addition to the valuable tractor work, there are many enthusiasts who collect and restore antique tractors, participate in clubhouses, and hobbyists who collect or build model cars. Many people also use their machines to participate in recreational sports such as tractor racing and tractor pulling.
