The Benefits of 4WD Tractors

If your farm has some challenging tasks to complete, then you need a tractor that’s capable of handling the workload with ease. A four-wheel drive (4WD) tractor is a great option; in fact, many manufacturers now produce their tractors with four-wheel drive as a feature instead of an option. Thanks to this feature becoming more commonplace, you can easily engage your tractor’s 4WD to get the power and improved traction you need for your toughest jobs.

J5 Tractors is your Texas tractor dealer, with locations in Normangee, Navasota, Conroe and Buna. Read on to learn a few of the many benefits you can expect when you purchase a four-wheel drive tractor.

Better Performance

Compared to a two-wheel drive system, a 4WD tractor system grants you improved performance because the power from the engine is being transferred to every wheel instead of half of them. You can thus increase your productivity with this kind of superior performance. If your property is large and you have a lot of challenging terrain to cross, then a tractor with 4WD capabilities may be the perfect solution. These tractors even tend to last longer because the load they carry is more evenly distributed between the two axles.

More Versatility

Need a tractor that can be used in a number of different ways rather than for a single purpose? Four-wheel drive tractors are perfect for working in muddy or wet and slushy conditions where traction is at a premium. These tractors are also powerful enough to haul really heavy payloads or do difficult work like leveling ground.

Four-wheel drive tractors tend to be larger as well, which lets you use a bigger variety of implements and attachments with them so you can do more tasks and projects with a single machine.

Improved Traction

We mentioned this benefit above, but improved traction is definitely a huge asset to having a 4WD tractor and we’d be remiss if we didn’t highlight it sufficiently. Sloping and slanting land presents a challenge to your average tractor that lacks 4WD capabilities, since these tractors may simply fail to scale inclines at all. 

With 4WD equipped, your tractor’s front wheels help to pull the rear wheels forward and all four wheels work hard to cross rocky or rough terrain or slog through mud and clamber up hills. You get a tractor that’s easier to control and more practical to use on farmland that may not be perfectly flat.
