Tractor & All Terrain Vehicle (ATV)

Tractors are a crucial piece of farm equipment because they are the vehicle needed to operate many other implements necessary for successful  farm management. Preventative maintenance includes  greasing joints, changing oil and other fluids as well as air filters and gaskets every 100 hours.

There are many brands, shapes and sizes of Tractors available. Your particular location and farming needs will influence your choice of tractor.

An All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) is used to travel to your pastures quickly and easily to manage weeds , clip small areas, spot spray and monitor pastures.  Another use is monitoring livestock if you have bigger pastures. While ATV’s are not as important to have as a good tractor, they can make pasture maintenance and management easier.
