- Cultivation
- Rotavation

Consider your farm size, terrain and typical workload. This will help you choose a tractor with the right level of power and performance.

Cereals and Other Field Crops
Crops such as wheat and paddy may require tractors with sufficient power and versatility for cultivation, sowing, tillage, spraying and transportation.
Challenging Terrain and Heavy Haulage
Larger, higher-powered tractors may be required for challenging terrain, heavy implements and greater haulage requirements.

Always consider the implements you currently use as well as those you may need in the future.
