7 midsize utility tractors for your acreage

We all know that one guy or gal who’s never satisfied with their equipment: More this, more of that, better something-else. One thing these folks can usually agree on is the need for MORE POWER when tackling tough jobs around the farm.

Enter the midsize utility tractor, those ranging in horsepower from 50 hp up to around 110 hp. For decades, this has been a sweet spot among manufacturers. Bringing together sturdy, heavy-duty construction, advanced features, and the ability to pull or lift just about anything around the farm, midsize utility tractor is what most city people envision when thinking of “farm tractor.”

That’s because it is the midsize utility tractor that does all the work, especially those with front loaders. Consider the implements and attachments available, including harrows, rotary mowers, box scrapers, blades, sprayers, tillers…the list seems endless.

Here are seven of the hardest working and most useful tractors in this horsepower range.

YANMAR

YT359

The 58 hp Yanmar YT359 tractor is designed to make work easier for people of all skill levels. The auto-throttle controls engine and travel speed with the accelerator/drive pedal. This makes operating the tractor like driving a car or truck with an automatic transmission. A/B Mode lets you preset your maximum travel speed. An anti-stall feature keeps your engine running when you dig or lift a heavy load. There’s also cruise control to keep you moving efficiently when mowing or traveling for long stretches. Yanmar designs and builds the major components, engine, front axle, transmission, and final drive, to work together.
