TRACTOR BUYER'S GUIDE: WHAT TO BUY, WHAT TO AVOID? 🤔

It seems each year we make a video like this because each year we get the same emails over and over. People are new to the tractor world or to our channel and they always want to know "What do I absolutely need on my tractor when I buy it?" Well we'll cover what we think are still the top essentials for anyone considering a used or a new tractor purchase.

I did take your advice where I could. Our budget didn’t allow me to go full bore and get a backhoe and/or a cab. But I did add on hydraulic remotes and a top and tilt to my new L406LE as well as the third function, a fiberglass canopy, and front and rear work lights. I did choose the limited model because the only feature that it lacks that I actually care about is the telescoping stabilizers that I can add on for far less than the standard 60 series. Can’t wait for it to be delivered any day now and I can finally get to work around my new property.

A must have are pallet forks, more uses than you could count and cheap.

Thank you for putting out informative videos like this one. You, Tractor Time with Tim, and a few others really show case the usage of what a compact tractor can do.

[jeromebecigneul]

You make good videos. But I have one question. When you were dealing in used tractors you only dealt Deere and Kubota. You did one LS and in a review said you really couldn't find a reason to advise not to buy one other than its dealer network is small. Along comes Summit Tractors and you can't say enough on how great this unproven tractor is. Either they are going to have 1000 plus servicing dealers or I don't know why you are pushing them so hard. Where are they built? U.S., Korea, India, Japan? Just wondering. What makes the better than anyone out there?

I think it's best to get all you can afford . When buying a new tractor.
You did a great job going over all different things
Hope you all have a blessed day

[roundman-]

3rd function and rear remotes are a must for me now.

[Katyacat]

You are so right about air ride seats. I don't have one and pay for it after long hours using my tractor. I used to operate trucks and equipment with air ride seats and never felt like I had been beat up like I do with my tractor.

[jimmie]

Most important option …name brand with dealer support ..no matter how good off brand may seem if one is looking to keep any tractor for years …you will need that dealer with parts still around …been both sides fence with tractors had Landi’s, Mahindra’s, Massey Ferguson’s….but in todays world top 3 who still around are Deere, Kubota, New Holland…presently own a Kubota
So to me first and top option is Brand/Dealer support all rolled into one, cause they all break and need parts sooner or later .

What is the price of this Summit tractor?

[briangpz]

I agree 100% with everything on this list. Especially the cab. If you live in an area where it snows more than once or twice a year, the cab is a must. I think I'm sold on the summit, but they need to get that cab version to market soon!

[TATD-SQRL]

I would agree that first and foremost safety feature of any compact tractor should be the investment of liquid ballast. Far to many of the compact tractors are just to light. People that are not familiar with the way the equipment handles can get into a bit of a predicament. The Summit tractor is definitely going to put a thumb on some of these other manufactures possibly forcing them to add some of the features such as the third function and even the self-leveling loader. I think that all manufactures from a safety stand point should add the liquid ballast at a minimum. Thanks for the Update Courtney as always.

[scotthanson]

Hey .... at 14:54 you say, "summit is coming out with a factory cab version" ... any more details? Is that in the larger tractor that they are also coming out with? .... I'm really impressed with the current Summit ... thanks for making all the videos to inform us. But I'm thinking a slightly bigger one with a cab would fit my needs better. Any ideas?

[lonewolfFirearms]

I agree, I'm so glad I listened to your advice when I was buying my first tractor. Ssqa front end with third function from the factory is a must have. Plus having a couple rear remotes opens a ton of other attachment options. I couldn't agree more about the air ride seat so nice to have on those 8 hour long flail mowing days out in the field. Your advice is spot on.

[MrTopgear]

Bought my first tractor a few months ago, selected a 2014 1025R with rear hydraulic, 54” Frontier rear snowblower (hydraulic option), 54” quick attach loader and 54” belly mower. I just love it, I’ve added a rear quick attach, 6 suitcase weights, tire chains, bucket forks, and a blade box. I may look at a stump bucket next summer. I’ve selected all this looking at your video and I’m 100% satisfied with my choices.

[CandyBarMoto]

I haven't even bought my first tractor yet. But, I would say get every hydraulic hook up option you can front and rear. Even if you think you won't use it... It's a bit of a future proof. For the one time you need to rent that additional equipment. Then you have the hook up for it.

[privateer]

I hose clamped a couple’o mirrors on my ‘State -of-the-Art’ 1953 NAA Jubilee. Saved me some pain in the nex…

[BG-vqfd]

All good points to consider. I did not understand the hydraulic options. I ordered the front third function. Had I known I would have ordered every hydraulic option I could get.
I enjoy seeing June.

[benjaminreeser]

Is summit making a backhoe attachment for these tractors or would it be aftermarket?
