subject: Features And Specifications Of Cheap Tractors For Sale [print this page] Tractors on the market today are more than simply large vehicles for pulling loads or helping bring in the harvest. Tractors today are designed in a wide range of configurations, sizes and types with massive tractors for harvesting hundreds of acres of land standing alongside small tractors for landscaping and garden work. Tractors are designed to give the operator a high traction effort at slow speeds, in order to carry out heavy work, pulling machinery, and moving equipment. There is a huge variety of cheap tractors for sale today, making it difficult to imagine a time when the tractor wasnt a common machine on farms and smallholdings. The different types of cheap tractors for sale make it easy to find a tractor to suit your needs. Cheap tractors come in different specifications, with features that make them suited to particular jobs. There are some features that remain the same across most types of tractor. All tractors have powerful wheels, whether they are configured in a two-wheel, four-wheel or eight-wheel drive model. Some tractors have tracks rather than wheels. These drives are controlled by hydraulic mechanisms to make it easy to carry out heavy work.
Most of the tractors on the market today run on diesel fuel, which overtook gasoline in popularity and remains the most used fuel for modern tractors. The size of the tractors engine will vary, depending on the type of work the tractor carries out, the size of the tractor and the type of terrain it has to cover. Small tractors for garden maintenance and landscaping necessarily have smaller engines. You choose your tractor, to a certain extent, based on its engine size but there are many other features and considerations to take into account as well. Diesel tractors generally feature a manual transmission and a variable number of gears. There is a set of ranges within the gears. A range of gears lets the operator manage the tractor precisely at slow speeds while still retaining the ability to drive the tractor on the road, at higher speeds, when needed. The ability to operate precisely at low speeds is an essential skill for a good tractor to carry out. Older tractors were much more difficult to operate as they didnt benefit from synchronised transmission and the gear change was not possible when the engine was running. Todays tractors have improved in many ways, not least in the addition of the synchronised or the continuously variable transmission.
