Farm machinery is very versatile and can be outfitted to do a number of different jobs. With various attachments and tools that can be swapped out a tractor can use the front end hydraulic equipment to lift pallets or bales once the skid loaded is replaced with tractor pallet forks. After the harvest farmers can clean up the fields that have been cleared of grains with grapple rakes that also fit the tractor and make it a more useful piece of equipment. With all of the plowing, fertilizing planting and harvesting that takes place on a farm throughout the year it is good to have one hard working machine that can tackle all of the different jobs that are performed easily with the right attachments added to the front end of a tractor. Where there are a lot of tools that are dragged or pulled behind the tractor the hydraulics make it possible for a farmer or rancher to care for the loading, lifting and moving of differing products that support the harvest or feeding of livestock on their property.
Haystacks that are baled into a round shape and stored outdoors can be easily wrangled and lifted by a tractor that has the attachment of loader forks and a spike to skewer the bale and lift it easy off the ground. Placed in barns or under a partially enclosed frame where it can be stored and brought out to feed animals in the winter the hay bales that are stored out of the elements can be stacked up to the roof as the tractor is capable of lifting the heavy bales of hay high into the air and positioning them one on top of another.
Only with the help of the right attachments to the machinery can much of the work be done on the farm. As the single most important and useful piece of equipment that is put to work on a daily basis, the tractor is offer the strength and flexibility that every farmer and ranch hand needs to accomplish their chores throughout the day. With the right attachments that add to the versatility of the machine loaded forks, grapple rakes and skid buckets all help to make the long days in the country run smoothly for the people that are growing crops and raising livestock that feeds the nation. With the additional tools that are interchangeable from many of the tractor makes and models farmers have access to the right tool for any job that in turn makes their work much more productive and rewarding.
