| Video Discription | If you're shopping for a tractor you hear the terms "compact" tractor and "utility" tractor. What are the differences? It used to be easy to tell. Compact tractors were made in Asia, utility tractors were once made in America, later in Europe. Now the lines are blurred. Today's video will give five ways of telling a compact tractor from a utility tractor, so you can understand what you're looking at if you're shopping for a new or used tractor. None of them apply in all situations. The big difference in compact and utility tractors, from a manufacturer's standpoint, is who they're designed for. A compact tractor is primarily designed for the rural lifestyle customer, guys like me who have moved out to the country and purchased acreage and want to maintain it. Utility tractors are generally purchased by folks who are going to derive some income from it. But, you can't tell who a tractor is designed for by looking at it, here are five differences between compact and utility. First is where they’re built. This was more true a couple of decades ago more than now. Compact tractors come from Japan and South Korea. Utility tractors from America (a long time ago) and now Europe & India. This is not as much the case with today's model offering with the Asian companies offering larger tractors that are definitely not compacts. But, Deere compacts have Yanmar engines, utility tractors and larger have Deere engines. New Holland's compacts are made by LS, their bigger tractors are made in their own factories. Transmission option generally indicate compacts or utility. Compacts will almost always have hydrostatic drive available as an option, utility tractors only have gear drive and power shuttle. Kubota offers hydro in MX series and that's an exception. This rule applies all of the time. If 2WD is available it's a utility tractor. All current compact tractors are 4wd only. A two-wheel drive compact doesn't have enough weight to maintain traction, a non - front wheel assist utility tractor does. Weight of the tractor can tell you what it is. Compacts will generally weigh 1500-2500 lbs. without a front end loader, A utility tractor will weigh at least 800-1000 pounds more than that. If it weighs over 5000 lbs, it’s a utility tractor Finally, and this is likely the reason that most peope move up to a utility tractor, loader lift capacity is substantially higher on a utility tractor. Most compacts struggle to lift a ton of weight, utility tractors can usually hit 3000 lb. neighborhood. Whether you buy a compact or utility tractor depends on your needs. If you don't need tractor weight or lift capacity and want 4wd and hydro, get a compact. If you need a lot of tractor for the money, are willing to shift the transmission, are okay with 2wd, and have heavy work to do, get a utility tractor. LINKS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT...
