Compact Tractor

Compact tractors are small agricultural tractors, designed for homeowners or small farms. Their compact size makes them better suited for small acreages and are easier to maneuver in small and narrow spaces.

Generally, they’re equipped with a 540-rpm PTO to power attachments. Like other farm tractors, compact tractors use a three-point hitch, which, due to their size, falls into Category 1. Categories in farm tractors refer to the horsepower capacity of their three-point hitches. That means a Category 1 tractor, like the compact tractor, is under about 50 horsepower, and uses lighter-weight versions of attachments like blades, scrapers, and tillers.
