How to Choose the Right Tractor Based on Your Budget and Farm Size

Budget and farm size are the first things you have to consider when planning to buy a tractor. The farm size will influence the size of the implement used and other farming tasks, such as tilling and harvesting. The tractor will have to carry the yield at the end of the harvesting period. And even if you do finalise a tractor of the right horsepower, you still need to answer whether it fits your budget. 

This blog will explain how different tractors suit different needs of farmers based on budget and land size.
