Two-wheel Tractors: perfect for tillage and care of your crop

Two-wheel tractor: what is its function?

Multifunctional two-wheel tractors are machines used in agriculture to carry out surface work on the ground, specifically tilling.

The main feature of these machines is their multifunctionality: they can mount different tools according to your needs. Two-wheel tractors are very safe agriculture machines, as its speed is kept constant by the two-wheel drive. Moreover, the rear part of the milling cutter is always equipped with a protective cover, that is a metal sheet that prevents earth clods moved by the milling cutters to scatter.

What types of power supply can be supported by a two-wheel tractor?

Two-wheel tractors are engine-driven, therefore they can be exclusively powered by petrol or diesel. This because two-wheel tractors are heavy machines to which connect different tools depending on the type of work. The two-wheel tractor can therefore either tow the attachment or transmit the motion to it.

Petrol two-wheel tractors with 4-stroke engine is the most popular category on the market. It includes all types of machines, both for dimensions/weight and versatility. Depending on your needs, a petrol two-wheel tractor is excellent for both amateurs and professionals.

Diesel two-wheel tractors are usually medium or heavy, with all-gear oil-bath transmission, and all multi-tool. Usually, the diesel engine is suitable for those who need a durable machine despite intensive use, ready to use also after long periods of storage. Among the many advantages of this type of engine, there is also a lower consumption.

Two-wheel tractors: what are the main types?

Heaviness is very important for two-wheel tractors, so that is used to classify them. With "heaviness" we do not only mean the weight of the machine (kg), rather the result of a combination of different features such as:

• engine power (number of horsepower and/or displacement)
• the type of transmission
• the number of gears
• the width of the cutter
• max. working area

Therefore, two-wheel tractors can be divided in:

• small two-wheel tractors - light series
• multifunctional two-wheel tractors - medium and heavy series

Depending on the work you need to do, you can choose the most suitable category from the catalogue:

  The strength of heavy series are reversible handlebars, which can rotate 180°. Reversible two-wheel tractor have gears that can be engaged in both directions. All reversible two-wheel tractors are multi-tool, but the reverse is not necessarily true: in fact, some multi-tool models allow the use of several attachments in the standard direction only, i.e. mounted only at the rear of the machine with respect to the direction of travel. The maximum working area for heavy series is over 1.000 sqm.

Differences between two-wheel tractor and garden tiller

At a first glance, two-wheel tractor and garden tiller may look the same, except that two-wheel tractors have two wheels for traction, unlike garden tillers, even if there are garden tillers which have wheels to mount in place of the cutters.

Actually, there are many differences between these two machines: for instance, garden tillers can work the soil deeper, while two-wheel tractors work more on the surface performing soil refinement. Another important difference is that only the two-wheel tractor is multi-tool: by replacing the cutter with other accessories, you will obtain greater versatility than with a regular garden tiller, which only performs milling.

If multi-tool, the two-wheel tractor will also be reversible, so that the handlebar can rotate 180°. Multiple forward and reverse gears on two-wheel tractors ensure that both directions can be used at an appropriate operating speed, while garden tillers work in one direction and can have a single gear or several forward gears and a reverse gear.

Why choose a two-wheel tractor?

Two-wheel tractors are undoubtedly more comfortable to use, their wheels avoid fatigue, particularly if you have to work on large crops. Since they are multifunctional, you can also save money: instead of buying one machine for every function, with a two-wheel tractor you will perform many operations.

They are also safer than garden tillers since their speed is constant thanks to the wheels and the cutter is covered by a carter, making the machine more comfortable to use.
