Nortrac Tractor - Six Factors To Look For Before You Buy Nortrac

If you're shopping for a NorTrac tractor, I suggest that you consider these factors:

1. Terrain and weather

The terrain you live in will determine the nature of your tasks involved, whether hauling big loads or engaging in agricultural activities. Hilly terrain will call for more hauling power from your tractor. The weather could decide the nature of the soil. For instance, if your area receives a lot of rain, the ground could be muddy. Similarly, if you receive a lot of snow, the ground would be soft. A 4-wheel drive machine to pull out of mud and snow should be at the top of your list.

These factors can also influence what accessories to buy. If you are in a snow-bound region, you will need a snow blower. On hilly terrain a front loader will prove more useful.

2. Load

If digging holes or rocks, mowing fields, and loading are the standard tasks you want to accomplish, then you may only need a subcompact or compact tractor machine between 20 and 30 HP. For more heavy duty work, you could choose from the 40, 60 and 82 HP variants. Try to gauge the power of the tractor, accurately, as it could impact the price as well as the maintenance costs.

3. Accessories

Decide beforehand what accessories you need, and check to see if you can get these cheaper in a package deal from Northern Tool For instance, you save $1050, if you buy a rough cut mower with a 20 HP tractor.

4. Maintenance

Make sure you have the toll free number of Northern Tool so you can avail tech support. Get the address-list of Northern's outlets in various states, of the US.

5. Manufacturer's Warranty

Make sure at the time of purchase of the best warranty available, and also ensure that it covers both labor and parts, and is extendable at the time of expiry. Feel free to ask the dealer a lot of questions, if you are not sure about something.

6. Price

As I have stated earlier, Northern Tool offers some packages which include accessories. See if you can negotiate additional benefits by throwing in a few more accessories.

Features such as power steering, 2-stage clutch, and liquid cooled diesel engines, come as standard features with these tractors, anyway, and so you don't need to specify.
