Best Compact Farm Tractor

Years after we had moved away from the bustling life of the city, my wife & I bought a piece of land to grow our own food. In the beginning, we cultivated only a short portion where we would grow potatoes, onions sometimes tomatoes etc. But over time we directed our venture towards multiple crop farming. So, I began searching about compact utility tractors as I knew we would need some muscle power for our farm.
 
But I didn’t know how to buy compact tractor. All I did know was there is a list of functionalities I would expect from compact farm tractors. And at the top of the priority list was front-end-loader. Another was the ability of the tractor to be able to attach a variety of implements as I would require it to perform a variety of tasks.
 
The compact farm tractor should have ample towing capacity to be able to tow a small trailer. Also, it should have sufficient lifting capacity & good hydraulics so that I can dig ditches where I need to. The biggest concern of all while looking at compact utility tractors online was whether I will be able to get a tractor with a complete gear-box in my budget.
 
Quickly, I narrowed down my search for to a few brands and their compact utility tractors. I wouldn’t talk about the compact farm tractors I rejected in the process, but the one I bought & its close competitor. Solis 20 is the tractor I bought for our farm, and its revved-up brother Solis 26.
 
As it is obvious, both the tractors come from the same compact tractor company & perform similarly. The best feature of the duo is the optional front-end loader with an equal lifting capacity of half a ton each. What’s even better is that both compact farm tractors come with 6 forward & 2 reverse gearboxes. Specs of other affordable options from other compact tractor company were nowhere near to what Solis was offering with these two.
 
I made my choice after quite some consideration. Although with Solis 26 I got added 6HP, power steering, disc brake & greater towing capacity of 1600 kg, I chose Solis 20 for some quite reasons. Firstly, I was amazed by how quiet its engine was even while driving when compared to Solis 26. And secondly, I prefer drum brakes on a compact utility tractors as they can be repaired on-site if required. Also, its diesel engine is more energy efficient & offers some extra mileage. The most attractive feature is the affordable pricing of these two compact farm tractors. Although I chose the more affordable & fuel efficient Solis 20, those who require some extra power & stronger breaks can go for Solis 26.
 
Its been a year since I bought my compact utility tractor & the productivity at my farm has grown by manifolds as I have been able to cultivate larger portions. I have been able to dig ditches, canals across the farm with ease. With the single-pinch detachment system of the front-end loader, it scores quiet well in terms of convenience. Also, since I live in a hilly region, the traction & manual gearbox supplies greater maneuverability any other machine I have ever used.
 
Also, I have recently bought a potato harvesting implement from the company which has greatly reduced the harvesting time. So, to whoever is looking for a well equipped compact utility tractor, Solis’s S series might fit right into your budget and requirements. Also, the parent company of the brand Sonalika, is among the global pioneers in the tractor manufacturing industry, making the choice even more valuable.
