Tractors are the powerful and reliable backbones of agricultural operations all across the globe, but they don’t do much without the right implements through which all that potential work gets done. Even a seasoned tractor owner might not know just how far the range of equipment goes, as you’ll have a hard time figuring out something your tractor can’t help you with — given the right implement! 

Here at Bayview Trucks & Equipment, we’ve put together a short list of some of the basic tractor implements that can get hard work done with ease. Read on for more information, or if you’re ready to check out some great new and used tractor implements for yourself, head into one of our locations in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia where we proudly serve all of Atlantic Canada.

Aerator

Aerators dig into the soil under your lawn with steel blades or tines that increase absorption of water, oxygen, and nutrients. Aerators are perfect for compact, clay soil that clumps together. Aerate before seeding your lawn. The reduced soil compaction also promotes beneficial soil microorganisms and encourages healthy lawns.

Auger

An auger attachment can gig holes at high speeds and level of accuracy. Heavy-duty hydraulics let augers bite into any soil, no matter the condition with ease and efficiency. Even in hard and rocky soil, high torque keeps the auger steady and powerful to maintain performance. 

Compactor

Mounted at the end of an excavator arm, a plate compactor attachment provides more powerful compaction force than a hand-operated mechanism. The compact design of the plate enables compacting even in hard to reach areas like down in the trenches and on slopes. Shock mounts distribute vibration evenly while keeping the attachment level to increase stability and improve compaction efficiency. 

Cutter

You’ll want to look into a cutter attachment for cutting and clearing heavy brush and pastures. Rugged, durable construction means these implements can handle even the roughest of roughs, with row and width adjustment so you can keep things moving at pace. 

Scraper

Great for rugged removal jobs, a scraper slides along the ground and easily breaks up packed materials to leave a smooth surface for walking or driving. Remove stubborn materials such as mud, snow, and ice. The scraper attachment can also aid in carpet and floor tile removal. With a self-sharpening cutting edge, the scraper cuts under material to be removed and easily peels it away.

Tillage

A tillage implement turns field prep into an afterthought. Taking the time to properly calibrate your equipment will save you time in the long run and keep fuel and equipment costs down. You’ll also maximize yield potentials through a better seedbed. Whatever you’re after, whether it’s residue management, seedbed prep, or to lesson compaction, a well-adjusted implement will mean fewer trips to the field and crop performance. 

Loader Attachment

Loaders are one of the more versatile implements. Simply two arms extending in front of the machine, you can attach a number of different parts to these arms, such as a pallet loader or bucket. No matter what you put on the end of a loader, you’ll be able to fully use the strength of your tractor on other tasks, such as moving material or pulling pallets off a trailer.

These common implements are great for most tractor owners, but with such a versatile machine, you can be far more creative with your projects and your tractor.
