Beginning to search for a tractor for sale that will give you trouble free service is not an easy thing to do. The hobby of collecting and maintaining vintage farm tractors has exploded in popularity in recent years.

The main reasons for this huge worldwide growth and interest in the hobby can be put down to the low cost of acquiring and maintaining these antiques. Also, while they are a great antique to have they can still be used to do work. They are simple and understandable. A major source of pride and enjoyment is often attributed to the fact that they can be restored almost perfectly to their original condition. But, the big question is how do you know what to buy and how do you make the right investment?

Once you begin your search you will see that the makes and models and options are infinite and that you will have no problems finding a machine to suit your needs and your budget. As with many things in life, your needs have a lot to do with what you should look for. Do some research into antique tractors and make sure you understand your needs then you should translate this into a clear list of what you are looking for that will allow you to make a clear headed decision.

It may sound obvious but if you plan to buy a tractor for collecting or for use on the farm you will have a different set of requirements for each purpose. Most people believe that many of the most collectable tractors make very poor day to day tractors and on the other-side elaborate renovation of an extremely popular tractor could not be worth the many hours (not to mention the cost of sourcing spare parts).

Irrespective of the type of machine you are looking for research should always be your first step. Many research manuals are available that hold this information giving you nearly a century of specifications and pricing on tractors.

As collectability, horsepower, hitch system, etc make up the main points for choosing what size, type, manufacturer, or model of vintage tractor you want, a more straight forward list of factors will be used for selecting the specific tractor you will buy. As mentioned earlier, restoring an antique collectable tractor will have a completely different checklist.

If you are looking for a day to day tractor then you will find what you are looking for easily, but be careful not to buy the first tractor you see as people often become disillusioned with antique tractors if they have not bought the right one for their needs. The very first thing you should consider is the topology of your land, how hilly is it and finally what type of machinery will you be using with the tractor. If you plan on using the tractor for tillage, such as barley or corn, then you should consider a Nuffield 342, a Massey Furguson T20 because other machines may be too low to the ground and cause damage to your crop. Alternatively if , you may need to consider something like a Massey Ferguson 40E or a Layland 154 . If you want to use farm machinery with your antique tractor, you should first understand the horsepower requirements of this implement and make sure the tractor model you choose has the weight and horsepower to successfully complete the job. If you need to use a ten foot disk harrow, then your machine would need to pack more punch than a Fordson Power Major Thorough research will make sure that you don’t fall into these basic traps. Making a mistake at this point may result in going back to the beginning to start the search again for oliver tractors for sale from the beginning again.Once you have selected your model, don’t pay much attention to the look of the tractor, the basic mechanics of the tractor should be the first thing you focus on. Many good working tractors will not have seen paint in years and will have been repaired and maintained with a range of strange materials. Making a mistake at this point may result in going back to the beginning to start the search again for old farm tractors for sale from the beginning again.

People with large lawns would do well to consider purchasing a lawn tractor, which in addition to simply mowing the lawn can dig and haul. But with any powerful piece of machinery, care and attention must be paid to its use.

If you have a large lawn, and need to do a lot of hauling or digging, it may be time to move up from a small riding mower to a more powerful lawn tractor. You’ll save a great deal of time in mowing your lawn that you can then spend doing something a bit more enjoyable.

Of course, lots of people enjoy the feeling of power that mowing a lawn gives them. Richard Widmark, in an article in Architectural Digest way back in 1991, said, “Mowing is very satisfying. It’s all about wanting everything to be neat and under control.”

Large lawns take a lot of water, and a lot of fertilizer, to look their best all year round, unless you are careful to choose those types of grasses that don’t need a lot of water, and typically don’t need a lot of fertilizer. Native grasses are growing in popularity, as opposed to importing “exotics” from other climate regions, and then forcing them to grow where they don’t normally grow. However, that’s an issue for another time. Let’s get back to lawn tractors.

Buying A Lawn Tractor
Treat your purchase of a lawn tractor as you would that of buying a car or any other means of transport. It is after all a major investment. Visit the showrooms of various manufacturers (or look at their sites on the web) to see what kind of features each model has, and what their quality and reliability ratings are from such independent consumer groups as Consumer Reports. If possible, test drive the tractor.

Engines
There are three types of engines on a tractor – air-cooled and liquid-cooled gasoline engines, or liquid-cooled diesel engines. Each one has its advantages…and its attendant costs.

Accessories
The basic cost of a tractor usually does look quite attractive…and then you learn the costs of those add-ons, or accessories. Just like a car, the nicer the accessories, the more expensive the model will turn out to be.

Accessories consist of such things as canopies over the driving cockpit to keep you protected from the sun on hot days, and grass collection bags. Cutting decks are considered accessories. They vary in width. A smaller cutting deck will come standard on the tractor, but you can replace it with a larger deck, for a fee.

Safety
Lawn tractors have a low center of gravity. This makes it possible for them to mow on slopes – there’s less chance of them tipping over. However, most accidents with lawn tractors do happen on slopes – no matter how low the center of gravity a steep slope will have the last laugh. The best thing to do is plant ground cover on the slope which will prevent erosion – and yet never need mowing.

Always wear ear protectors and safety glasses and sturdy shoes. Never have a “lawn mower race” – if you like to get some speed out of your tractor do it on a track in a recognized event – not on your own lawn.

Never mow with an audience. Kids may become distracted and run in front or behind you and be hit by flying rocks. Never mow with passengers.

If your mower jams, turn everything off. Clear any jam with a tool – not with your bare hand.

A manual will come with your lawn tractor. Read it, and keep it in a safe place so you can refer to it when needed.
