Buying land, whether it's unworked land or property that is just changing hands, is an exciting prospect. You can look at all of the land and envision what you'll grow, harvest, and nurture along the way. However, much of that will be a challenge if you don't have the right tractor and the right tractor parts to get the jobs done. Here's a look at some of the tractor components you need to think about for different types of projects.

Breaking Ground On Unworked Land

When you're looking to plant on land that's never been worked or property that's grown over because of neglect, the first thing you need to invest in is a quality plow. When you buy a plow for your tractor, you can use the tractor and plow attachment to break up the soil, loosening up enough of the soil for you to be able to create garden beds with rows and defined planting areas. 

And, since almost every farm tractor, regardless of size, can accommodate a plow attachment of some sort, you're sure to find the right part for the tractor that you own. This can save you days of manual labor trying to break up the soil surface.

Creating Your Planting Rows

Once you've purchased a plow and created the spaces for your planting area, the next step is to create the rows where you'll be planting. The best tractor part you can invest in at this stage is a bedder. The bedder will produce the planting rows, generating mounded hills for planting and clear spaces for walking between those planted rows. Furrowing tools added to the bedder can create planting holes at the top of the mounds as well. This leaves your planting area fully prepared when you're ready to get your crops in the ground.

Working Weeds Back Into The Soil

Whether it's at the end of your growing season or just for weed maintenance during crop growth, a cultivator is another important tractor part that you should buy. These attachments will run through the planted fields, leaving your planted crops untouched, but will work weeds back into the soil. This generates additional nutrients for the crops when the weeds break down beneath the surface. 

Then, at the end of the growing season, your cultivator can turn all of the remaining crop growth over into the soil as well. Let those plants decompose in the soil to create a nutrient-rich environment for your next planting season.

These are some of the most important jobs your tractor will play on your land, and the tractor parts you'll need to get those jobs done. Talk with your tractor parts supplier today about each of these components.
