Tractors are indispensable for yard maintenance on a farm and can pull various attachments, such as:

Sweepers

Whether you need to clear fallen leaves, grass clippings, or other small debris, a sweeper attachment can simplify the process and keep your raceway or yard tidy. These attachments typically consist of rotating brushes that collect and deposit debris into a hopper. 

With adjustable brush heights and angle settings, sweepers can adapt to various terrains and ensure efficient cleaning across different surfaces. By incorporating a sweeper attachment into your yard maintenance routine, you can save time, reduce manual labour, and achieve a pristine appearance.

They are particularly useful for levelling driveways and other surfaces that require regular maintenance. With adjustable cutting depths and angling capabilities, scrapers provide versatility and precision.

PTO generators

Tractors equipped with Power Take-Off (PTO) capabilities can utilise PTO generators to harness power for various tasks. By connecting the generator to the tractor's PTO shaft, you can produce electricity on-site without the need for additional fuel or bulky standalone generators. 

Whether you need to operate electric tools or provide temporary power during outages, PTO generators are a reliable solution. 

This versatility enables you to power equipment such as:

• Milking sheds
• Welders
• Power tools
• Water pumps
• Lights for night-time work

Log splitter

Whenever a tree falls or needs to be cleared on your farm, a log splitter attachment simplifies the process, saving you time and physical effort. 

Log splitters are typically powered by the tractor's hydraulic system and feature sturdy blades that efficiently split logs into smaller, more manageable pieces. With adjustable cutting positions and cycle times, you can tailor the splitting process to your specific needs. 

By incorporating a log splitter attachment into your yard maintenance routine, you can also guarantee a steady supply of firewood, keeping your home warm during the colder months.

A hedge cutter is vital for creating well-defined edges and enhancing visibility and safety. Compared to handheld tools, a tractor attachment has more reach and manoeuvrability so you can quickly and precisely cut your hedges.  

This improves visibility and access for milk tankers, all while helping to maintain an aesthetically pleasing yard. Hedge cutter tractor attachments feature adjustable blades and cutting heights, enabling you to trim hedges to the desired shape and size.
