How to choose the right tractor before spring plowing

Some new farmers and farming experts who have developed new bids want to buy a farm tractor suitable for their own in spring farming. However, due to different models of agricultural tractors, their output functions and supporting powers are different, and the working environment adapts and works. There is also a difference in efficiency. Therefore, farmers' friends must consider all aspects when purchasing tractors, carefully compare them and carefully purchase them. Focus on the following aspects.

First, we must measure the performance price ratio of the locomotive.

Buying a tractor is often an investment behavior, in order to save costs and make more money. Therefore, no matter which type of tractor is purchased, the performance price ratio should be measured, because a good performance tractor is often durable and has few problems, so the product can be sold at a low price without sacrificing performance. Buying tractors with low price and poor performance, even if manufacturers can achieve better after-sales service, they must delay a lot of effective operation time. Moreover, if the three-package period is over, the service cannot be guaranteed, the maintenance cost increases, and the operation efficiency decreases. The decline in operating efficiency is not worth the loss.

Secondly, the model of the tractor is selected according to the operation needs.

Farm tractors are available in three types: walking tractors, wheel tractors and crawler tractors; they can be divided into large, medium and small tractors according to power. Among them, the walking tractor is a small tractor with a power of less than 11 kW (15 hp), which is mainly suitable for farmland operations and short-distance transportation operations in small fields. Wheeled tractors are divided into two types: belt drive and power output shaft drive. The belt drive is generally a small four-wheel tractor with power ranging from 8.8 kW to 14.7 kW (12 hp to 20 hp). The power output shaft is driven by large and medium sized models. The tractor has a power of more than 14.7 kW (20 hp). With the need of production, the power of the tractor is getting larger and larger; the wheeled tractor is suitable for use in large-scale farmland production, which can greatly improve production efficiency. Because crawler tractors can be equipped with dozer blades, they are generally used in projects such as farmland infrastructure construction and water conservancy projects. In addition, if the tractor purchased is to provide services for the surrounding farmers, it is necessary to select the model according to the type of farmland, the amount of work and the intensity of work. At the same time, it is also necessary to choose according to the specific conditions of other agricultural machinery operators.

The third is to look at CAM certified products.

The fuselage of large, medium and small agricultural machinery that has been inspected and marketed must be affixed with a diamond-shaped “agricultural machinery promotion license” or a CAM certification for agricultural product quality certification. The certificate is checked by the agricultural machinery testing and appraisal terminal of the Ministry of Agriculture for the production conditions of the production enterprise, and the technical documents of the enterprise are examined. After the quality inspection of the products of the enterprise is issued, the validity period is five years. This mark is actually a sign of product quality. Users are advised to give priority to the agricultural promotion license or CAM-certified products of the Ministry of Agriculture when purchasing tractors. If there is no ministerial agricultural promotion certificate, there may be provincial level. If there is no promotion license, users are advised not to buy because The quality of these products cannot be verified. At present, there are many enterprises producing tractors all over the country. When purchasing, you must identify the name of the factory, the site and the trademark, and look at the date of production. Don't underestimate the date. First, because there are rubber and plastic products such as tires and oil seals on the tractor, these products will age over time. Second, the tractors will be improved according to the market. The closer the date is, the more advanced and reliable the products should be. Tractor should be selected to produce nearer age. Also depends on the appearance of the tractor. Look at the paint is beautiful, the appearance should be smooth, flat, no blisters, cracks or burrs, no rust, etc., whether the quality of the tire meets the requirements, whether the parts are defective. Find out if there are three leaks, especially the joints and seals of the cabinet.

Fourth, we must test the scene on site.

When deciding which tractor to buy, test the vehicle and test the diesel engine and the tractor chassis to check the quality of the corresponding moving parts. When testing, first check the starting performance of the diesel engine, the throttle control system and the idle operation of the diesel engine. After the diesel engine is started, it should be easy and smooth, no noise, and the exhaust should be colorless, transparent or light gray. The second is to check the gearbox, check the free travel and steering performance of the steering wheel, check the brake system, hydraulic system, check the tires, check the lighting system. For the test of the tractor chassis, pay attention to whether the steering operation is light and flexible, whether the brake is easy and stable, safe and reliable, whether the clutch and the gearbox work normally, no heavy friction sound and other abnormal noise when the gearbox is engaged, and whether the hydraulic system performance is Good, convenient and flexible, no leakage, etc., to ensure reliable tractor performance.
