Explore Small Tractors & Packages in Australia
There are so many small tractors for sale these days that it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the options. With so many models, sizes, and features available, where do you even begin? We might be biased, but we think you should start with this blog. As the experts in small and compact tractors, the team here at TannerTrack is uniquely qualified to help you find the tractor that matches your needs. We’ve assisted clients in finding a tractor to help them maintain a hobby farm, manage a lifestyle block, or run a small-scale operation.
TannerTrack has been helping Aussie farmers choose their perfect tractor since 2011. Boasting trusted brands like TYM and LOVOL tractors, our range features reliable tractors that get the job done.
Why Small Tractors Are Ideal for Small Farms
A small farm doesn’t mean small projects. We know you still have a lot on your plate — from slashing grass and grading driveways to digging holes and moving materials, there’s plenty of work to do. If you’re growing crops, there’s a whole host of jobs you wouldn’t want to do by hand: seeding, levelling out seedbeds, cultivation, and spreading manure. Particularly the latter.
This is where a small tractor really shines. Our best-selling tractors can tackle a wide range of farm tasks without the bulk and complexity of larger models. For example, our range of TYM tractors includes the popular TYM T265 HST 25hp. This model has a hydrostatic transmission, which allows you to navigate tight spaces and challenging terrains easily. The 24.5 HP diesel engine delivers unmatched power for its size, making it a versatile choice. Precision is the name of this tractor’s game.
As expert small tractor dealers in NSW, we can help you find the right model for the diverse terrain of your small farm.
Here’s How to Choose the Right Tractor
Before contacting us for a tractor quote, it might be helpful to work out what specs you’re after. If you already know how you’re going to use your tractor (and where!), we’ll be able to determine which model best suits your needs.
Here are the factors we think you should have locked down before browsing mini tractor sales:
1. Farm Size & Terrain:
- For small blocks under 10 acres, a compact option like the TYM T265 HST 25hp may be perfect.
- A LOVOL M404 40hp offers more power and versatility for larger properties or hilly terrain.
- As the horsepower increases, so does the tractor’s ability to navigate bigger (and hillier) terrain.
2. Power & Horsepower Needs:
- Lighter jobs like mowing and fencing may only require 25hp.
- However, heavier tasks like lifting bales need more, such as 40–50hp.
3. Attachments & Implements:
- When picking a tractor, consider what attachments and implements it will need to run. More power equals heavier attachment capacity.
- Choosing a tractor package with implements like a slasher, post-hole digger, or loader gives you flexibility from day one.
4. Transmission Type:
- Hydrostatic (HST) gives you easy, smooth operation — great for beginners.
- Manual or Power Shuttle delivers more power and control, like with the LOVOL M404.
Feeling lost? Don’t worry! You can send us a message with what jobs you want to do — and how big your farm is — and our team will be able to help you pick.
