All About Tractors

The space for movement of machinery in intensive orchards and vineyards is very limited. And for works in such conditions ordinary tractors of universal purpose are not suitable. In modern horticulture and viticulture it makes sense to use specialized energy-intensive machines with a narrow track. The main feature of tractors for horticulture and viticulture is non-standard dimensions: short base, minimum width, track and height, and, as a consequence, small wheels and compact cabin. "This is dictated by the width of the row spacing, which on average is about 3 m in orchards, which was originally due to a shortage of land for horticulture in principle. Orchards can be located in large areas, the distances between rows of trees and vines of high-margin varieties are still too modest, due to technological and agronomic requirements, such as the peculiarities of over-pollination of plants." The dimensions of general-purpose tractors (universal row crop tractors) on averag...

Many gardening equipment suppliers and manufacturers describe the care requirements for the product in their instructions. They emphasize that the equipment must be serviced in a timely manner. The basic care of a garden tractor consists of regular cleaning of the working parts of the machine from dirt and grass that has been mowed. It is the grass sap that destroys the coating of the metal mowing deck - it corrodes the material. It is advisable to wash the mower deck thoroughly after each mowing. The grass that adheres to it is saturated with juice. When it dries and hardens it is difficult to remove even with a knife. In such a case, the grass buildup impairs the efficiency of the machine - it quickly rots the cutting deck.

The battery will gradually run down if you just stand there without using it for a long time. Garden t...

You buy a garden tractor to save time and effort when cutting the grass. The additional functions of the machine and its equipment make the work even easier. Garden tractors can be outfitted with a wide range of attachments like a sweeper and snow blower. For example, a blade, chains, or rotary snow blower. The equipment can also be a lawn roller, lawn comber, aerator, cart and sprayer. If a blade blade is installed on the tractor, snow clearing becomes easier. Gardening machines have many different features that are included as part of the factory fitment. Each manufacturer has its own pricing policy, so it is better to choose guided by the cost. Usually, attachments from all manufacturers have to be purchased separately, but these additional costs are repaid on average in the next 1-2 years - depending on the number of hours of operation.

There is a huge range of garden tractors on the market. With such a variety, it can be difficult for a buyer to choose a suitable model. It is recommended to choose a garden tractor based on the purpose for which it is needed. Many people think that a lawn tractor can only be used to mow the grass. However, this is not the case. You can choose a versatile tractor for year-round work. I am the sales manager of a gardening equipment company. I will tell you about garden tractors and how they differ from mini-riders. How to tell the difference between a garden tractor and a mini-rider A mini-rider looks like a large self-propelled lawn mower. The mini-rider's main function is to mow. It usually has a deck between the handlebars and the seat, and no hood in the front. The garden tractor is a more versatile machine. It is used to mow the grass and can also perform other functions.
