Ride-on tractors are often simply associated with task of mowing the lawn throughout spring and summer. However, these machines are far more versatile as they can serve a variety of purposes throughout the year when equipped with the right attachments. From hauling heavy materials, mowing in the summer, collecting leaves in the autumn, to removing snow in the winter, a ride-on tractor can be adapted to meet a variety of needs in every season. By investing in a range of attachments, you can get the most use out of a ride-on tractor, making it a valuable and cost-effective investment. Here, Cobra has shared a guide to some of the best uses of a ride-on tractor beyond solely mowing the grass!
Hauling and Transporting
A ride-on tractor's ability to haul and transport materials around a property is one of its most practical uses. Attaching a tow-behind cart allows for easy transport of garden supplies, firewood, mulch, soil, and other heavy items. This capability transforms a simple lawnmower into a handy assistant, saving time and physical effort during landscaping projects or debris removal.
Scarifying or Aerating Attachments
Beyond regular mowing, maintaining a healthy lawn requires scarifying and aerating. A scarifier attachment can remove the thatch layer, which can suffocate a lawn, while an aerator attachment penetrates the soil, allowing better access to water, air, and nutrients for the grassroots. These tasks are crucial for lawn health and can be efficiently managed with a ride-on tractor using these specific attachments.
Lawn Rolling
For a perfectly even lawn, a lawn roller attachment can be incredibly useful. Rolling the lawn helps flatten and smooth out any bumps, providing a manicured look. It’s especially beneficial after seeding or when trying to level out molehills and uneven bumps.
Clearing leaves
In the autumn, fallen leaves can quickly cover the lawn and create a mess. With a leaf sweeper attachment, a ride-on tractor can efficiently collect leaves, grass clippings, and other debris, keeping an outdoor space tidy. By taking away the chore of clearing up leaves by hand it will prevent the buildup of organic material that, if left on top of a lawn, could lead to serious health issues for the grass over time.
Snow Removal
During winter, a ride-on tractor can help homeowners stay on top of snow removal. By attaching a snow plough or snow blower, it can efficiently clear snow from driveways, patios, and other areas, making the daunting task of snow removal much more manageable and ensuring that a property remains accessible and safe during the winter months.
