5 Things to Consider When Buying a Tractor

Farm tractors are a great investment when you need more horse-power to do the hauling, mowing, heavy lifting, pulling, digging and more. When it's time to buy a farm tractor, you want to carefully consider your options rather than purchase the first tractor you see. It's an investment that you want to stick around for years to come. Because it's such a big, important investment, it's important to take the time to really weight the pros and cons of the different Manufacturers and Models.

We asked Our Mahindra Sales Rep, Don Wise, what he considers the most important things to consider when buying a tractor. When you're ready to shop Mahindra tractors, implements and parts, Don Wise is the man you'll be talking to. Don knows everything you need to know about Mahindra tractors as well as the other manufacturers, and he can help answer all of your questions.

5 Things to Consider When Buying a Tractor

1. Find a Quality Tractor - There are a few good manufacturers making a quality tractor, but when it comes to the best, Mahindra is the #1 best selling tractor in the world.

2. Buy from a Quality Dealer - When you're buying a tractor, the most important thing is that you buy a quality tractor, from a quality dealer. You need to find a dealer who will support you, not only by selling the tractor, but with parts and providing service when the tractor has a problem. 

3. Your Job - What do you want the tractor to do for you, and what do you want to do with the tractor? A tractor by itself is basically a power source, but once you add your implements, the tractor becomes a useful tool that will help you accomplish whatever you set out to do. 

4. The Size - The tendency for a lot of people is to buy smaller because the cost is less, but again it comes back to what you want to do with the tractor. 

5. Your Future Jobs - Not only do you want to consider what you want to do with it now, but what do you want to do with it 5 years from now. This is an investment you want to last for years to come. Are you going to get into something larger, horses, planting fields? These things make a big difference in what size tractor you may be looking for. Don's job is to talk with you and try to help you understand what you want to do and try to fit a tractor to your needs.
