One of the main conditions for efficient work in agriculture, proper use of time and long-term maintenance of equipment is the compatibility of the tractor and the aggregate. Unfortunately, often farmers pay attention only to price and function when choosing. However, an unsuitable aggregate harms both the quality of work and the life of the equipment. Why is compatibility important? Each tractor has a certain power limit. For example, a 75-horsepower tractor cannot pull a 5-body plow. In such a situation, both the quality of soil cultivation will be poor, and the equipment will quickly fail. When choosing an aggregate, engine power, weight balance and transmission system should be taken into account. Otherwise: Fuel consumption increases, The tractor will slip or stop during work, The equipment will fail prematurely. For example, using a 75-horsepower tractor for work that requires 50 horsepower means additional costs and fuel waste. Tractor and implement compatibility Compatibility should be not only in size, but also in technical specifications. The hydraulic system, PTO (power take-off shaft) and suspension system must be fully compatible with the implement. Examples: A 3-meter disc harrow is the ideal choice for a 100-horsepower tractor. Although the same tractor can work without problems with a two-row cultivator, a large and heavy implement can overload it. If the implement is too heavy, the front of the tractor will rise, creating a danger. A too small implement prevents the full use of the equipment. Horsepower selection 50–70 horsepower: For small farms. A simple plow, cultivator, seed drill and fertilizer spreader are suitable. 70–100 horsepower: For medium farms. A disc harrow, large seed drill and pesticide sprayer work comfortably. 100+ horsepower: Suitable for large farms and heavy aggregates (deep plowing, cultivation, etc.). It should not be forgotten that a tractor with more power can drive large aggregates, but this also requires more fuel and maintenance costs. To protect the equipment The aggregate must be properly and firmly fixed. Periodic technical inspection is important (hydraulic system, oil, filters, etc.). The tractor should never be overloaded beyond its capabilities. It must be protected from rain, snow and sun during storage. Conclusion The compatibility of the tractor and aggregate increases productivity, protects the equipment and provides long-term savings. Farmers should pay attention not only to the price, but also to the technical indicators when choosing. Choosing the right equipment is the main condition for a successful farm! 👉 You can purchase the right tractor and aggregates for your farm from “Azvipagro” with a 40% state discount and interest-free leasing for up to 60 months.
