Tractors For Sale in Canada

About Tractors

Tractors are vital machines for everyone from acreage owners mowing with subcompact tractors to large-scale commercial farm operators using row crop models to till, plant, fertilise, and more. Generally, as the applications, acres to work, terrain, and type of implements the tractor must support grow in size and complexity, so too do tractor horsepower requirements. Thus, investing in a bit more horsepower than initially needed is worth considering if potential exists for your operation to grow or if you think you may have more demanding jobs for your tractor down the road.

It’s also helpful to know that many experts consider PTO power a truer indication of a tractor’s abilities than its horsepower, as PTO power indicates how much horsepower will actually be available to your implements and attachments.

Tractor Classifications

While classifications differ from manufacturer to manufacturer, common tractor categories include lawn and garden, subcompact, compact, utility, farm, and row crop. Tractors listed for sale on MarketBook are organised into five classes:

Less than 40 horsepower. Designed for acreages, small farms, and big gardens, these tractors include lawn and garden, subcompact, and smaller-frame compact models used for mowing, hauling, light grading, tilling, and basic garden or farm work.

40 to 99 horsepower. Featuring compact, midsized, and utility tractors used on small and midsized agriculture operations, these tractors are often equipped with a front loader for hauling rocks, feed, and other materials.

100 to 174 horsepower. Tractors in this class are sometimes called “farm tractors” for all the jobs they can handle around midsized and large ag operations. Models from Case IH’s Puma, Maxxum, and Vestrum series designed for livestock, dairy, mixed-crop, field, and loader work are examples.

175 to 299 horsepower. Offering multiple transmission options, precision farming technologies, larger fuels tanks, fuel-efficient engines, wider tyres, multi-control armrests, and ultra-comfortable enclosed cabs, these tractors can handle nearly any job or implement.

300 or greater horsepower. Also known as “row crop tractors,” these tractors are the most expensive and most powerful, feature-packed, and versatile of all. With models like Case IH’s Steiger Quadtrac and New Holland’s T9.700 at the high end, these tractors are designed for large-scale commercial farm, hay, dairy, livestock, and similar operations.
