Check whether the tires are worn out and the general condition of the treads. If the tires are worn out, seek a replacement before buying the tractor.
If you are buying a used tractor, check on the external damage. Take your time and go around the tractor, identifying any missing components, rusting parts, or broken parts. You can assess the external damage and decide if you will re-negotiate the price or forego the purchase. Pay attention to the functionality of the headlights, as you'll be using your tractor during the evening or morning hours. Ensure the headlights are powerful enough to light up a long distance. To ascertain the functionality of the headlights, turn them on and off in different modes.
To get a clear picture of the tractor's condition, ignite it and closely check the color of the smoke. A clear smoke is an assurance the engine is functioning well and white smoke is a sign some water is penetrating the engine, while blue smoke is an alert. There are some internal issues that you should check on. Take your time and ensure you purchase a tractor that is in good condition.
