AGCO Tractors for Sale New & Used

Farming has never been an easy job. However, with the right tools, Midwest farmers generally find it easier to complete the many chores that pop up every day. An appropriate tractor is certainly one of the most important tools on any farm, and AGCO is one brand to consider.

Choosing the Best Tractor for Your Farm

While it’s common knowledge that tractors come in several sizes, not everyone understands which tractor would best meet their needs. That’s why implement dealers encourage tractor shoppers to explore different models to determine which ones are appropriate for their farming needs.

For example, a 40-acre farm that’s primarily pasture and hay land won’t require a large tractor that’s designed for cultivating large fields. A smaller utility tractor might well fit the bill when haying and general chores make up the bulk of a farmer’s needs. 

On the other hand, if you’re raising 640 acres of corn, that small tractor simply won’t provide the power required. A larger tractor will certainly be needed to handle larger implements. As a rule, a tractor like the AGCO RT140 might be a better option.

New or Used?

While it’s always tempting to purchase a new tractor, that’s not a realistic option for many smaller (or even larger) farm owners. Budgets tend to be tight on most farms, which means shopping for a used tractor is often the best way to obtain a tractor that’s affordable and still meets the farm’s needs. 

AGCO Tractors have been a brand farmers trust for years. With models from the 22-horsepower ST22A to the massive 425 horsepower 8360, AGCO produced machines capable of meeting anyone’s day-to-day needs. 

Consider Maintenance Costs

When shopping for used tractors, it always pays to consider maintenance expenses. Many newer tractors are virtually impossible for farmers to maintain themselves. Proprietary software, for example, generally requires owners of many models to take their equipment to dealers even for minor repairs. 

In most cases, farm owners would prefer to avoid that type of complication, as no one can afford to have a tractor down when it’s needed most, and obtaining repairs or service from the dealer is difficult during busy seasons. 

Most repairs on AGCO models can be handled on the farm, which means those tractors can be back in service quickly. Since parts are easy to obtain, long delays waiting for those parts are not common. 

Facing Other Challenges

Midwest farmers face a number of challenges during an average year. Heavy snow, mud, and compacted soils are all common, and that suggests choosing a model designed to deal with those types of issues is certainly important. 

It’s also important to obtain implements designed to meet specific farming needs. AGCO tractor owners typically have no problem matching their tractors with implements for tilling, snow removal, and other related activities.
