Benefits of 4WD Tractors

In India, tractors are increasingly being marketed as "4WD." These tractors are generally more expensive and targeted at modern and progressive farmers. The term "4WD" refers to four-wheel drive. This article will explain what a 4WD tractor is, its benefits, and its role in farming applications.

Until recently, all tractors in India were Two-Wheel Drive "2WD." This essentially meant that all traction is transferred to the rear wheels. 2WD technology is simple and inexpensive. It enables a smaller turning radius. 2WD tractors are preferred in haulage applications for these reasons. Farmers can increase the traction of 2WD tractors by adding ballast weights. The rear tires are frequently filled with water to make them heavier and reduce slippage in the field.

Reason for 4WD Tractor's Popularity 

4WD tractors have grown in popularity in recent years.

• In 4WD tractors, the transmission supplies power to all four wheels, resulting in less slippage and improved performance.
• In 4WD tractors, the front wheels "assist" the rear wheels in pulling the tractor forward, giving the rear wheels better traction and less slippage.
• 4WD tractors are ideal for uneven terrain and slopes. It is especially useful for wetland puddling because it eliminates the need for cage wheels, which damage roads.
• It has a heavier front axle, which improves haulage stability and reduces front lifting when carrying heavy loads.
• Because the load is distributed between the front and rear axle units, a 4WD transmission system has a longer life.
• Modern 4WD tractors increase productivity by being able to operate larger and heavier implements such as an MB plough, a laser leveler, large rotavators, a Disc Harrow, a Power Harrow, large cultivators, loaders, and dozer attachments.

A 4WD tractor is more stable and versatile in general because all four wheels are functional in pulling it forward. Consider climbing a hill with all four limbs, delivering the same power but through four traction points.
