Compact tractor: What’s right for you?

Looking to work smarter, not harder? A compact tractor could be the game changer your farm or acreage has been looking for. Prized for their small-but-mighty stature, compact tractors make a big impact — handling large acreage and tackling tasks with ease.

“Compact tractors boast the benefits of a large ag tractor in just a fraction of the size,” says turf equipment and compact tractor specialist at AKRS Equipment Nick Wessel, who unpacks why compact is the way to go. 

Power take-off, or simply PTO — a means of using power from a running engine to operate an auxiliary attachment — is the driving force behind the popularity of compact tractors.

Before trade and tariffs dominated the conversation, taxation was one of the biggest issues on farmers’ minds last year. From the carbon tax to capital gains, OFA worked with the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and provincial partners to push for fair, practical solutions. We saw progress on carbon tax relief and capital gains, and we continue to advocate for modernized farm tax programs at both the provincial and federal levels.

OFA works to represent the interests of Ontario farmers to all levels of government. Renew your Farm Business Registration (FBR) by March 1/26 and choose OFA so we can continue to support Ontario farmers and their businesses.
