What Size Tractor Do You Need for 1000 Acres?
One thousand acres of land is such a big land that it requires a more extensive and vigorous tractor than ordinary tractors.
In this light, I recommend the John Deere 4650 tractor (planter tractor in spring, discs bean stubble in fall) and John Deere 8335R (pulls finisher in spring and ripper/chisel in fall, grain cart).
In this article, I will focus on John Deere’s 4650 tractors.
