The Difference between Orchard And Farm

The difference between orchard and farm

Although orchard tractors and ordinary agricultural tractors belong to the same category of tractors, 

they have significant differences in design and usage:

NO. 1 Characteristics of Orchard Tractors

*Smaller body size

The car is low and easy to walk under fruit trees without scratching the branches and leaves.

Narrow wheelbase and small turning radius, suitable for narrow spaces such as densely planted orchards, vineyards, tea gardens, etc.

*Stronger specificity

It is often equipped with spray, mower, fertilizer spreader, ditcher and other orchard operating equipment.

Emphasize multifunctional integration, capable of completing tasks such as spraying pesticides, weeding, and fertilizing.

*Comfort and flexibility

Generally equipped with power steering, easy to operate.

Some high-end models come with protective shelters or anti fog cabins to protect the driver.

*Power range

Mainly 20-50 horsepower, mostly small horsepower, sufficient for orchard operations.

NO.2 Characteristics of agricultural tractors (universal tractors)

*Larger and higher body size

The design is suitable for open farmland and is not limited by tree branches.

The horsepower range covers a wide range (18-200+horsepower).

*Strong universality

Can be attached to various agricultural machinery, such as rotary tillers, plows, seeders, harvesters, etc.

Mainly used for field operations such as tillage, sowing, and transportation.

*structural design

The wheelbase and body size are larger, emphasizing operational efficiency rather than flexibility.

Most of them are open driving areas, and some high-power models are equipped with fully enclosed cabins.

*Stronger power

More suitable for high load field operations, with stronger driving ability for complex agricultural tools.
