If you're shopping for utility tractors, you need to know how to compare models from all the different manufacturers. In our series of videos, we'll show you what to look for and how to ask the right questions up front...it could make the difference between a tractor you keep for years, and one you're ready to trade after a season or two.

  Weight

  When you're comparing utility tractors, heavier is better. Why? More weight typically means heavier, more durable components and construction. We'll show you what we mean...and what to look for.

  Horsepower

  Think one 45-horsepower tractor is the same as the next? Maybe, or maybe not. All horsepower isn't created equal, so you need to know how a tractor's horsepower is measured before you can compare tractors of similar power ratings.

  Comfortable Controls

  A lever that seems a little out of place during a quick demonstration might turn out to be a serious inconvenience after a few hours in the cab. Make sure you give the control layout a test as you're taking a spin around the dealer's lot.

Plus, we'll show you just how important the cutterbar is to the performance of your mower-conditioner.

  Crop Conditions

  Do you use your baler to make more than just hay bales? If so, then be sure that you have an all-crop, all-condition baler like the John Deere 8 Series. Whether you're working in alfalfa, silage, stalk, or straw, our balers handle all conditions. Can the competition say the same?
