Which kind of tractor a Farmer should buy

The type of tractor a farmer ought to purchase depends on factors like the size of the farm the soil and terrain the crops cultivated and the specific jobs the tractor must accomplish. Here are some general recommendations. If you provide details, about your farm (acreage, crops, activities) I can assist in refining the options further.

factors to consider when selecting a tractor

Farm size / land area — tractors should match the size of your land.

Tasks / implement use — whether you need it for light tasks (ploughing small patches, sowing, transport) or heavy duty (deep ploughing, hauling, large implements, multiple operations)

Soil / terrain / field conditions — if soil is heavy, sticky, or if terrain is uneven/hilly, you may need more power and better traction (e.g. 4-wheel drive).

Fuel efficiency, maintenance & cost of ownership — tractors with too much power are costlier and use more fuel; too little power may get overworked and break down.

What kind of tractor works best in different farm situations

Farm situation / requirement Recommended type / HP / drive

Very small farm / < 5 acres; light tilling, sowing, hauling small loads, orchard work Compact / mini-tractor — ~ 15-30 HP, 2-wheel drive often sufficient

Small to medium farm (~5–15 acres); mixed crops, general farming, occasional ploughing and hauling Compact / Utility tractor — ~ 30-50 HP; versatile for sowing, tilling, transport, light ploughing

Medium to large farm (15–50+ acres); heavier work, ploughing, using implements (plough, rotavator, trailer), possibly multiple crops Utility / Medium-duty tractor — ~ 50-75+ HP; can handle heavier implements and heavier loads. If soil is tough or field large, consider higher end of HP.

Large farms or commercial/contract farming; heavy ploughing, hauling, heavy implements, long hours, tough soil or uneven terrain Heavy-duty / high-HP tractor — 75+ HP (or even more depending on implements and land size), with good torque and possibly 4WD

What is commonly selected by farmers, in India

For small holders, many use compact / sub-compact tractors (20–35 HP) because they are affordable, fuel-efficient and easy to operate.

For a “do-everything” tractor on a medium farm, a utility tractor in the 40-60 HP range tends to provide the best balance between power, versatility and cost.

Heavy tractors are more common for large farms, commercial operations, or where heavy implements are used regularly.

Points to consider (given that you’re in Bihar / probably engaged in small-, to medium-sized agriculture)

Because many farms in Bihar and similar regions are small or medium size:

A compact or utility tractor (30-50 HP) is often the most cost-effective and practical: enough power for ploughing, sowing, transport, sometimes even light haulage.

Make sure spare parts, service center availability near your area. No matter how good a tractor is on paper — if maintenance or spares are hard to get, it becomes a burden.

Consider your future plans: if you might expand farm size or add more tasks/implements, slightly higher HP (within 50-60 HP) may give better flexibility.

If you wish. I can recommend 4–6 tractor models favored by farmers, in Bihar / Eastern India including pricing and ideal applications (small medium-large farms).
