Tractors  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

Tractors are mainly used in agriculture. There they do a large part of the physically difficult work. The introduction of the tractor made a significant contribution to increasing agricultural productivity. This is how the technical revolution in agriculture became possible in the first place. The first tractors in Germany came onto the market in the 1920s. The equipment of tractors has changed a lot since then. Today there are tractors with several hundred hp and a list price of several hundred thousand euros. Ferguson's introduction of three-point hydraulics is described as the biggest innovation in tractor development. This standardised three-point linkage is the same for every tractor. This means that all implements from all manufacturers can be coupled to the driven machine. From about 1960 onwards, the universal joint shaft became established in the new tractor models. This additional power source made it possible to attach moving working machines, such as a fertilizer spreader. There are many different models of tractors. Depending on the application, there is a separate model. The equipment carriers, for example, can be used in many different ways. A loading area is mounted in front of the cabin. This is particularly practical for transporting goods and products. There are also very small tractors for vineyards, which can drive through the narrow and steep rows of vines. There are also many special plantation tractors for fruit harvesting on plantations.Not to forget the lawn tractors. These can also be found more and more often in private households. With this vehicle for "big children" the work of mowing the lawn is fun again.
