Correct selection of a plow for the power and weight of the tractor is key to effective plowing and protection of the drive system against overload. It is assumed that for each plow body (furrow) with a width of approx. 20-25 cm, a mini tractor should have a power of 8 to 12 HP, depending on the soil compactness. For machines with 15-20 HP, the optimal solution is usually a single-furrow plow, while units over 22-25 HP with 4x4 drive can handle a light two-furrow plow. It is also important to set the plowing depth and the pull point, which allows for maintaining a straight path without the need for constant steering correction. Robust agricultural equipment from brands such as Geograss or TRX has been designed to minimize the resistance offered by the soil, which directly translates into lower fuel consumption. Remember that a plow that is too large will cause excessive wheel slip and may lead to premature clutch wear. Before purchasing, always check the three-point linkage (TUZ) lifting capacity of your tractor to ensure the machine safely lifts the tool in the transport position.

What are the benefits of using a transport box on a small farm, and what are their typical capacities?
Transport boxes are among the most versatile accessories for mini tractors. On small farms, they allow for the convenient transport of crops, timber, tools, or bulk materials without the need for a trailer. The load capacity of typical boxes ranges from 200 to even 600 kg, depending on the model and tractor power. Thanks to the tipping system (mechanical or hydraulic), unloading is quick and requires little physical effort.
