If you’re interested in buying a utility tractor you’re going to want to look at our handy guide below! We’ve put together a few tips for picking the best tractor for your needs. When you’re ready to start browsing you can visit us at either one of our convenient locations in Albuquerque or Belen, New Mexico.

Implements 

It’s extremely important that you consider how you’d like your utility tractor to perform before purchasing it. We suggest making a list of all of the landscaping chores you’d like your tractor to complete. Many implements can perform multiple tasks across your property. Do a little research beforehand and it will be easy to pick the tools best suited for your needs. 

Size

Before you grab the largest tractor off the lot, remember to consider property and storage size. If you don’t have a lot of land to manage then a larger model may not be necessary. Even smaller utility tractors can be outfitted with a number of implements to finish all of your chores. The larger your tractor the more difficult it will be to store. If you are needing a pretty large model be sure you have the barn or shed space to store it. 

Features

When shopping for your perfect utility tractor don’t forget to consider your machine’s included features. Qualities such as four-wheel drive and transmission type can significantly affect what type of jobs your tractor will excel at. If you’re needing to switch directions quickly you’ll want a shuttle transmission. However, if you’re largely moving forward and don’t mind taking a moment to switch gears, a nonsynchronized transmission can save you quite a bit of money!

Now that you know exactly what you’re looking for you’re ready to start browsing our high-quality utility tractors here at Desert Greens Equipment!
