If you are starting up a new farm, you will need a variety of equipment. What type of farm you have will determine the equipment you need. However, there is still equipment that works great with any farm, so this is where you should start. Keep reading so you will know what you should purchase. 

Tractor

A tractor can be useful no matter what type of farm you have, especially if you can use a variety of attachments. A tractor can help you haul things. For example, if you have crops, you can haul fertilizer for large areas. You could haul soil and other equipment you may need. You could haul manure to an area if you needed this.

If you need to clear some land, you can use a tractor to do this. For example, the tractor can be used to clear trees, heavy brush, rocks, and more from a pasture or other area. Adding a winch on the tractor will make things even easier for you to do these things.

When purchasing a tractor, tell the salesperson what you will be using the tractor for as they do come in a variety of sizes and engine powers. You want to purchase a tractor with an engine large and strong enough to handle the work you plan to do.

Utility Vehicle

A utility vehicle (UTV) can be very useful for you on a farm. These vehicles are smaller than trucks, so they can get into much smaller places that a truck could not. Using a UTV is much quicker than walking, especially if you have a large farm. You can purchase trailers to attach to the UTV if you need to haul things, such as tools, to an area. 

UTVs have rugged tires so you can drive them no matter what terrain you are on. They are lightweight, so they move fast. They have a hitch built-in, which makes it easy to add just about anything you want. 

If you have a smaller farm, a UTV may be all you need to purchase as a truck would not be needed. A UTV is much less expensive and uses less gas, so you will save a lot of money. You can find UTVs in different sizes and kids and adults can ride them after the day is done for fun. 

There is other equipment that you may need for your farm, such as a front-end loader, backhoe, plow, and more. Contact a local farming equipment dealer to learn more.
