You may be getting by with your lawn mower, but a compact tractor could be a better fit for your needs. Both types of landscaping equipment serve certain situations and it can be tough knowing when it's time to make the upgrade. That's why we created the following guide.

If you have questions or want to shop compact tractors for sale, contact Middletown Tractor Sales. We have dealerships in Fairmont and Buckhannon, West Virginia, as well as Washington and Uniontown, Pennsylvania.

Your Acreage Exceeds The Recommendation For Your Lawn Mower

Different types of lawn mowers are designed for various amounts of acreage. Sure, you can use a model on a property size outside the recommendation but this becomes incredibly time-consuming and tedious. Not to mention it can greatly speed up wear and tear on the machine!

Your Grass Exceed Six Inches

The taller and denser the grass, the more challenging it becomes to cut. Don't waste time and energy trying to make your lawn mower wrangle more than it should! For grasses over six inches, a compact tractor will be a better fit.

Your Terrain Requires Four Wheel Drive

Compact tractors offer exceptional traction, especially on uneven terrain. Some garden tractor models offer four wheel drive, and most compact tractors have it as standard equipment. If your land isn't flat, it might be time to consider a compact tractor. It will make mowing easier and safer!

You Want To Use Attachments

Many lawn mowers are not compatible with attachments. Even if the model can handle an add-on accessory, there is a limited selection available, which, in turn, limits the alternative uses of your lawn mower.

It's a different story with compact tractors. They are designed with attachments in mind! There is an expansive range of attachment options. Some can help you tackle lawn mowing in a faster, easier, and more precise way. But that's only the beginning.

Compact tractors can also be paired with attachments that extend their usage beyond mowing the lawn.

For example:

  • Those in the agricultural industry can use various attachments to help maintain crops, livestock, fences, buildings, and so on.
  • Those in the landscaping industry can use compact tractor attachments to better serve their clients.
  • Private homeowners can use the compact tractor attachments to handle a range of property maintenance tasks, without needing to buy separate pieces of landscaping equipment.

Whatever your situation, compact tractors and their attachment capabilities can be a great match!
