If you are going to use your tractor primarily for front implements, 4WD may be a better option than 2WD. It is also worth noting that 4WD tractors have a higher resale value than 2WD tractors.Once you have made up your mind, get into the basics.
1. CONDITION OF PTO OR POWER TAKE-OFF SHAFT
Turn on the tractor’s engine and then turn on the power take-off (PTO) shaft. Ensure that the PTO shaft movement is rotating smoothly. Listen for any uncommon sounds like knocking coming from the output shaft.You do not want to end up with a used tractor that requires repairs to the PTO shaft, as this could be very expensive! PTO HP is just as significant as the tractor engine HP itself. A larger PTO number is also important when driving your tractor on hilly or weeded terrain. The engine’s HP diminishes on steeper terrains and PTO HP is what helps your tractor navigate over and up rough terrain.
2. CHECK TYRE SHELF LIFE
Get a tyre tread depth gauge and measure the tread depth of the tractor tyres. Compare this measurement with the tread depth measurement on the tyre manufacturer’s website to get a good idea of the shelf life of the tractor tyres. This is not a step to skip. Depending on the type of tractor tyres, they can cost you anywhere between a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars to replace.
3. BATTERY POWER
Ensure all connections to the battery are wired tightly. Check that the fluid level in each cell is adequate or not and don’t forget to test the battery with a voltage meter. A reading below 9 volts suggests you need a new battery.
4. SOME OTHER THINGS TO LOOK INTO
Take the tractor for a test drive. Inspect the steering, gears and brakes.Drive it back and forth. If you sense a knock while moving it, chances are a transmission slip could be the culprit. Be aware of any gear slippage orchattering, and make sure the tractor tyres are operating as they should while steering.Check the pedals too.Ensure they are tight, stable and strong.Let go of the steering wheel while driving and notice if it pulls hard tothe left or hard to the right. Any looseness in the steering could mean that the main pin is bent or damaged and requires replacement.Whereas difficult steering could signify that the pins need to be greased or that the hydraulic cylinders might not be in proper working order.
5. CONSIDER THE COST OF MAINTENANCE
