Benefits of Having a Tractor With 4WD

There are a large number of tractors on the market which can make the buying process a bit challenging. From size to brand to type, you have a lot to consider. Our team at J5 Tractors can help you determine the best solution for your operation and needs! One of the features you may want to look for is four-wheel drive (4WD) capabilities.

1. More Traction Combined With Power

One of the many decisions you’ll make regarding a tractor is how much horsepower it has. If you often tackle work that involves heavy implements or deep groundwork, you’ll need something with a lot of horses. When you combine horsepower with 4WD capability, you increase your traction and improve the distribution of power. This can be more energy efficient and can reduce the wear on your equipment.

2. Getting Out of Sticky Situations

Sometimes you might find yourself stuck in the mud. Literally. Tractors with 4WD are more likely to get themselves unstuck than models without this feature. Why is this important? For one thing, it’s possible to get stuck when no one else is in the same field, meaning you’ll have to make a frustrating phone call. Even if there are other people and machines in the same field, getting stuck causes a loss in productivity because it’s taking focus away from the task at hand. Being able to self-sufficiently get yourself out of a sticky situation can be a major benefit.
