Advantages & Disadvantages of Farm Tractor with Trailer
Advantages
Multi-functional use
Tractor can plow, harrow, sow and pull trailers for transportation, one machine for multiple jobs, high utilization rate.
Large loading capacity
Matched trailers carry heavy bulk goods like grain, soil, fertilizer and forage, high transport efficiency.
Strong road adaptability Good passing performance, works well on farmland, muddy roads, hills and rough ground.
Cost-effective Lower fuel consumption than large trucks, easy maintenance, low daily running cost.
Flexible operation Easy to steer in fields, narrow country roads and orchard lanes, convenient field transfer.
Wide matching range Can connect different trailers (dump, flatbed, grain, livestock) to meet various farming transport needs.
Disadvantages
Slow running speed
Much slower than trucks, not suitable for long-distance high-speed highway transportation.
Limited load limit
Cannot carry ultra-heavy goods, overloading easily causes power shortage and safety risks.
Poor comfort
Simple structure, no shock absorption design, bumpy riding on bad roads.
Seasonal usage gap
Less work in idle farming seasons, easy to be idle for a long time.
Stability risk on slopes
Easy to roll over if overloaded or operated improperly on steep slopes.
Low highway practicality
Most farm trailers lack complete standard lights and formal road running qualifications, restricted on urban roads.
