In ancient times, The man started using ox and cows for farming. Later machinery and more advanced types of machinery took their place, and the tractor is one of them.
The tractor is an integral farming machine that mechanizes farming tasks like planting, tillage, plowing, etc. In this video we show you 10 Different Types of Tractors - Application, Uses & Benefits.
A tractor is a vehicle designed to provide a high tractive effort (pulling force) at slow speeds, in order to haul a trailer or machinery used in agriculture or construction. The term tractor is derived from the Latin trahere, which means "to pull."

This video obviously was not rated correctly even for small farming there are farm equipment that should've been mentioned that weren't so much for amateurs that haven't done there homework in real farming history
Thanks for your comment and good to see that you saw the video! A spelling mistake can always happen as you can see, but for the other videos we put it better. You should check them out 😊
Can't say I agree with much of this video. What qualifies a tractor to be Top Ten? Many of these tractors fail that test. Here is my list: Ford Fordson, the original mass produced tractor, the first one to allow most farmers to start replacing draft animals. John Deere D International F-12 International M John Deere A Ford 9N and all the continuing 2N, 8N and Ferguson T series tractors designed by the same great thinker, Harry Ferguson Oliver 77 John Deere 4020 Stieger Bear Cat, or any of the early Steiger models Each of these tractors brought to the market new technologies and values that helped farmer in their everyday task. Many of them answered the needs of farmer in ways their competitors had not yet recognized.
Thanks for sharing your top 10! Also good to see that even if you don´t agree much with the video, you saw it entirely and that you enjoyed it. Thanks for your feedback and I will keep it in mind for the next videos!
You are correct. It´s about 27 kilometers per hour, but there was a little mistake in the video. Thanks for your feedback and noticing this and I will change it in the next videos.
There was an auxiliary transmission offered from M&W that actually could gear an H to have that kind of road speed. I'm not sure I know anyone 'brave' enough to run an H at 27 mph.
First gen large frame "flat track" Caterpillar rubber track tractors from the 90's is probably the lowest cost per hour of operation of any tractor ever made. They regularly rack up twice the hours of any JD tractor made before they are retired, if they are not rebuilt. Most are still in service, and dealers cannot trade farmers out of them. 5K hours on tracks before rebuilding. Ours got a new set of tracks last year at 85K hours after passing oil sampling annually. Even the new tracks cost less than 8 rubber tires for an articulate 4WD tractor. Fuel savings over the life of it, compared to a wheel tractor is way on the far side of $100K. Run it long enough and they will pay for themselves. JD could not LIE enough about tracks, telling their owners to let the tire pressure down to less than 10PSI. What a joke that was. JD is not your friend. The 8000 series introduction said it all. That tractor cost 35% less to build than a 4960, yet they wanted 25% more for one.
I have to say that the ford 8N retired more horses than any other manufacture of the time. Sure the cost of the tractor was low but having the implements for the 3 pt hitch(Plow, harrows, mowing machine, pure lifting capacity, and the PTO pully attachment) meant that you could retire your horses with one small tractor. And many small family farms did just that. They retired their horses.
You only get a sense of it when you see the Amish use their horses. To see 4 horses pulling a motor which is pulling a baler pulling a wagon is kind of strange. Or horses pulling a mechanical wheel drive mowing machine is the way that it was done. The farm that I grew up around, had one of the old style silo blower units which would chop the corn stalks as it was blowing the product up into the silo. After they purchased a corn chopper, it was used without the blades but worked well. @@tractorsofficial
Not really sure about ending the horse with only 128,000 units sold by 1958. The 9N's direct competition was the horse at a starting price of $585. Followed by the 2 N then the 8N, all with the 3 pt hitches for plows harrows and mowing machines. The 9N alone sold over 750,000, and the 8N over 500,000 which combined is about 10 times as many as allis. The draft control of the 8N was used to get around the Allis patent. Do you still have a model B? Our 8N, is getting old and it's time for an over hall of the engine. @@RJ1999x
I wanted to argue the point you made, but if it was rephrased to read the N series Fords, I agree with you. The Fordsons of the 1920's were the first mass produced tractors to move farmers from horses to tractors. But they weren't affordable by farmers doing small acreages under 80 acres. The N series were directed at these hold out smallest farmers that couldn't afford an IH or John Deere because they didn't have enough land to warrant the cost. Our farm in 1960 was next door to a man that still tilled his fields with teams of mules. Even for a six year old, that was a rare thing to see. He was one of the last hold outs in our area not aligned with a religious restriction on power equipment to farm this way. One thing my father pointed out was that the change from draft animals to tractors changed farm work in other ways. Draft animals couldn't be worked 8 hours a day. They worked for one or two hours and then needed to be rested, watered and fed. That took time, time the farm worker could use for other things, like some farm chores or getting out of the sun and relaxing himself. Tractors ended that and forced the farm worker to continue to work as long as there was daylight, not when he and his team got tired. That got more tillage work done, but it made farm life harder in other ways.
What’s the battery life for these tractors. Can they be recharged in 10 minutes like a diesel tractor. I saw a Deere in the video. Most were diesel powered. You would need a fleet to replace 1 diesel powered tractor to keep running all day. The amount of power to pull am implement across the ground all day would kill a battery in minutes.
All really good questions and maybe it’s not as good as the diesel at the moment. However it’s always good to look for other possibilities and changes!
Not having a articulated 4 wheel drive on the list seems to be a miss to me. Any Versatile from the late 70’s thru the 80’s would suffice. They were cheap power horses, reliable, and easy to work on.
@@RJ1999x When it came out back in it's day, it was ahead of it's time with it's versatility, comfort features, reliability and engineered to last. Over 180,000 units sold, Deere engineers knew they had a good one here.
@@joemueth4077 there was nothing on the 4020 the competition didn't already have, it was only revolutionary to Deere customers because the 2 cylinder should have died 10 years earlier. The hydraulics up on the dash, the synchro smash was nothing to be proud of. The powershift was stolen from Ford, the diff lock although was nice failed, few 4020 around have a working diff lock, the engines were gutless in comparison to the competition. You can't say they made 180,000 because production numbers are top secret to John Deere, and their serial numbers won't tell you because they are not consecutive
Nice video with great views, but your computer reading the write ups did a poor job. Did not properly pronounce the model numbers. For example ,the last video describing the John Deere 4020. The model number is pronounced “forty twenty”, NOT four thousand twenty. Could have been a great video if a knowledgeable real person had read the script, instead of a stupid computer!
Thanks for your feedback and good to hear that you liked the video. I have a horrible Dutch accent and that´s why I used the computer, but good to hear your feedback and also a good point about how the John Deer 4020 is pronounced.
