If you’re looking to buy a tractor,
you’re definitely thinking the obvious. “What do I choose?” Choose, not only in
terms of the tractor itself, but also what features you need to specifically
fulfill your farming needs. But, to begin with, there are generally two schools
of thought when it comes to managing preferences for buying a brand new
tractor. The first is to focus almost exclusively on power. Power that drives
the tractor and allows for lifting heavier implements and allowing for greater
load. On the other side of the spectrum, the key is to focus on overall
utility. Even if the tractor itself might offer less power, but more than makes
up for it with other features that support, nay, enhance its existing levels of
overall functionality and variety in terms of the kinds of uses the tractor has
to offer.
So, let’s explore each of them in
detail. And then hopefully, we’ll have a sure shot answer as to whether to go
for sheer power, or look at overall utility. Maybe, we might even come up with
a third option, one that combines the two, or is something different entirely.
The power route: HP over everything else
Here, the idea is that power is a
priority over everything else, and rightly so. The more power a tractor has,
the more load it can carry with greater efficiency, and without losing any
momentum when it comes to working a large area of land. Taking this approach
means working towards achieving greater levels of productivity with just pure,
raw power being at the centre of it all. However, that brings us to its very
harsh shortcoming. The fact that the power of the tractor is in fact, the
centre of it all. The reason this can become a problem is because everything
else, every other feature the machine might have to offer, takes a backseat.
All other features become a support system, just serving to maximise the power,
and maybe not being able to shine their brightest and offer the farmer a more
wholesome experience with their tractors. This is not a bad thing at all, but
it does kind of set up the user to be almost exclusively dependent on power
whenever using a tractor in the long-term.
The Utility Route
When taking this approach to investing
in a tractor, the idea is to get a fully-featured, 3600 tractor.
Here, the power of the tractor is not the key highlight, but rather has each of
the features playing almost equally important roles to make a greater, more
wholesome experience for the farmer using the tractor. In this case, there is a
good balance between each aspect, and the only real shortcoming, if you can
even call it that, is that having such a tractor might mean compromising on the
amount of horsepower it might have. A feature some farmers, especially someone
who is just starting out, might actually be more than willing to give in exchange
for a more rounded farming experience.
The Conclusion
Finally, if you’re looking both for a
tractor that’s covering both these bases, and a brand that does not force you
to choose one over the other, go for Digitrac. Digitrac is a tractor
manufacturer that makes some of the tractor models in India.
Also, being a part of Escorts Ltd., there is an immense factor of brand trust
that its consumers enjoy whenever they purchase Digitrac’s products or avail
it’s services. As far as it’s products are concerned, it also provides second-hand tractors for its customers.
Be it the power and performance of a 50HP
tractor, or even a 60HP tractor,
they are all tractors for sale made
available by Digitrac. There are also many, many tractor attachments the brand provides to its customers when they
come in to purchase their Digitrac tractor.
To stick to what we talked about
earlier, Digitac’s mid-range, 50HP tractor, the PP46i is the best suited when
it comes to offering both power and utility. With 50 HP@1850 RPM and a 540 +
MRPTO, it’s definitely got the power department covered. But what’s more, the
tractor also offers a dual-clutch system with a 8 forward and 2 reverse
constant mesh gearbox, making sure the mobility is at its optimum at all times.
To top it all off, the tractor has got a massive 1800kg Hydraulic Heavy Lift
that makes sure that whatever load it needs to bear, it does it in the best
manner possible.
