PTO is a shaft on the tractor that transfers engine power to attached implements like mowers or balers. It allows the tractor to power equipment directly, making it versatile for many farming tasks.

A hitch is a device used to attach implements to the tractor. The most common types are the 3-point hitch (used for lifting and controlling implements) and drawbar hitch (used for pulling trailers or heavy equipment).

Powershift transmission lets you change gears without stopping or using the clutch, allowing smooth speed changes while working in the field, improving efficiency and comfort.

Check engine oil daily or before starting the tractor to ensure proper lubrication and avoid engine damage.

Hydraulic fluid powers the tractor’s hydraulic system, which operates implements, steering, and lifting mechanisms.

Proper tire pressure ensures better traction, reduces soil compaction, and improves fuel efficiency.

2WD tractors power only the rear wheels, suitable for light tasks. 4WD tractors power all wheels, providing better traction and performance on tough terrain.

A torque converter is a fluid coupling that transfers engine power to the transmission smoothly, allowing the tractor to start moving without stalling.

RPM stands for revolutions per minute, indicating engine speed. It’s important to operate the tractor within recommended RPM ranges for efficiency and to avoid damage.

Check the seatbelt, rollover protection system (ROPS), brakes, lights, and ensure all guards and shields are in place.

Draft control automatically adjusts the depth of an attached implement based on soil resistance, improving efficiency and reducing operator fatigue.

Clean the tractor, change fluids, disconnect the battery, store in a dry place, and cover it to protect from dust and moisture.

Prime power is the continuous power the tractor can deliver during regular use. Standby power is the maximum power available for short periods, like during heavy loads or emergencies.
