Used Tractors For Sale IN Kansas

Buyer’s Guide to Tractors

Tractors are the stalwart staple of any good farming operation, and they’ve also found uses in construction, landscaping, forestry, and other industries. You can use a tractor to seed crops, bale hay, plow snow or dig trenches, among many more applications. Whatever it is you’re doing, it’s essential that you make this big-ticket purchase correctly.

PrairieLand Partners, with locations throughout the state, is your Kansas tractor dealer. Here’s our quick guide to the many considerations you’ll want to think about when buying a tractor.

Acreage & Usage

Think about how much land you’ll need to cover: the more area you have to work on, the bigger the machine has to be to get the work done efficiently. However, you’ll also want to think about whether a larger machine will fit into smaller areas, which is of particular concern on construction sites, where space may be at a premium. You don’t want to get a machine that’s too cumbersome to use.
 

It’s also good to consider the tasks you wish to do on that land and what your priorities are. These factors will help your dealer to determine the appropriate horsepower and features for your purposes.

Budget

Tractors aren’t cheap. You can probably expect to spend at least $20,000 to purchase one. This is why creating a budget is an important part of the shopping process. It can be helpful to scope out your options online to arrive at a ballpark figure that’s not so expensive that you go into debt, but not so cheap that you can’t afford a good-quality piece of equipment. Don’t forget to factor in maintenance, repairs, storage, and additional implements when developing your budget.

Implements

A tractor is only as good as the implements you equip it with. You can’t do much with the tractor itself without the right tools for the tasks at hand. The type of industry you work in and the tasks you need to complete will determine which implements will be most useful to you, and these will, of course, add to your budget. Plows, loader buckets, augers and tillers are only a few of the many implements you may want to investigate.

Comfort

Finally, your own comfort should come into play. A very luxurious cab will obviously be more costly, but that extra expense can be worth it when you consider just how much time you’ll spend at the controls. Plush seating, heating or air conditioning and panoramic roofs are just a few of the many options you can consider when thinking about your comfort.
