Tractors are self-propelled agricultural power machines that require various implements to complete various tasks. Therefore, agricultural machinery dealers must carefully select the appropriate implements to match their tractors in order to fully utilize their capabilities.
Engineering Tractors
The durability and engine power of tractors make them suitable for engineering tasks. Tractors are often equipped with various engineering tools, such as bulldozers, bulldozer blades, transfer equipment, buckets, tillage equipment, and harvesters. Bulldozers and buckets are usually mounted at the front of the tractor. When engineering tools are installed on a tractor, it is generally called an engineering vehicle.
Bulldozers are typically tracked tractors with blades mounted in the front and a cable winch in the rear. Bulldozers are very powerful tractors with excellent ground contact; their primary task is to push or pull materials.
Bulldozers are constantly evolving, with new products adding features previously unavailable to tractors. Loaders are one example; they replace the original blades with large buckets and use hydraulic arms to raise and lower the buckets, making it easy to scoop up soil, rocks, and loose materials and load them onto trucks.
Front-loading loaders and loaders are tractors equipped with engineering tools. They have two hydraulically powered booms mounted on either side of the front cab, and a tipping device, which is essentially a large-opening bucket; some also have flat forks or balers.
Modifications of bulldozers include smaller versions for working in confined spaces with limited movement. There are also small-wheel loaders, officially called skid-steer loaders, also known as "Lynx" loaders. They are particularly suitable for excavation work in confined spaces.
Front- and rear-drive tractors are improvements on hand tractors, primarily designed for climbing slopes by allowing all four wheels to work simultaneously, maximizing the vehicle's performance. For example, a hand tractor carrying 4 tons can only climb using its front two wheels, while a front- and rear-drive tractor can easily carry 6-7 tons up a slope of the same gradient. This is its advantage.
