175 HP to 299 HP Tractors Upcoming Auctions

About 175- To 299-Horsepower Tractors

Along with tractors in the 300-plus hp category, tractors with 175 to 199 hp sit atop all others in terms of size and power, capability, and price. Also known as “farm tractors,” these models come in numerous configurations, include advanced precision ag features, provide the engine and PTO power to support all types of power-hungry implements and attachments, have large cabs designed for operator comfort and all-around visibility, and include multiple hydraulic and PTO hookups for added convenience.

Add in their large fuel tanks, sizable tires, advanced automation, and fuel-efficient hydrostatic transmissions and CVTs (continuously variable transmissions), and these tractors provide the performance and flexibility to handle any job on the farm and most commercial farm tasks, including hauling, large-scale hay and forage operations, tilling, planting, seeding, and mowing with multiple mowers.

Other Tractor Categories

While classifications differ from manufacturer to manufacturer, other common tractor categories include lawn and garden, subcompact, compact, utility, and row crop. Tractors on TractorHouse.com are organized into five horsepower classes; the others are as follows:

Less than 40 horsepower. Designed for acreages, small farms, and big gardens, these tractors include lawn and garden, subcompact, and smaller-frame compact models used for mowing, hauling, light grading, tilling, and basic garden or farm work.

40 to 99 horsepower. Featuring compact, midsized, and utility tractors used on small and midsized agriculture operations, these tractors are often equipped with a front loader for hauling rocks, feed, and other materials.

100 to 174 horsepower. Tractors in this class are sometimes called “farm tractors” for all the jobs they can handle around midsized and large ag operations. Models from Case IH’s Puma, Maxxum, and Vestrum series designed for livestock, dairy, mixed-crop, field, and loader work are examples.

300 or greater horsepower. Also known as “row crop tractors,” these tractors are the most expensive and most powerful, feature-packed, and versatile of all. With models like the 692-hp Case IH Steiger Quadtrac and 682-hp New Holland T9.700 at the high end, these tractors are designed for large-scale commercial farm, hay, dairy, livestock, and similar operations.

You'll also find a link to a huge selection of new and used Orchard & Vineyard Tractors on the TractorHouse.com homepage, which will take you our sister site, SpecialtyCropEQ.com. Orchard and vineyard tractors are typically narrow-width models with other optimizations such as low centers of gravity for stable operation on slopes and protection from branches and vines.

Features Of 175- To 199-hp Tractors

Comfort, convenience, productivity, and efficiency are all hallmarks of this category’s tractors. Their cabs, for example, serve as office-like environments that include air conditioning and heating, suspension seating, adjustable seats, tilt steering wheels, entertainment and communication systems, and ergonomically designed controls and instrument panels. Case IH’s SurroundVision cab, for example, provides 85 cubic feet (2.41 cubic meters) of space and unobstructed sightlines for front loader work and field operations, as well as multifunction armrests and touchscreen displays that provide fingertip control over most tractor functions.

Other technologies such as Fendt’s VarioGrip tire pressure system and Versatile’s ECO mode for PTO shafts are designed to enhance fuel efficiency. Also common among these models are multiple cameras and sensors, satellite receivers, GPS implementations, telematics solutions, and precision farming integrations. Fendt’s 800 Vario series, for example, supports SectionControl, VariableRateControl, and VarioDoc Pro solutions, the latter of which lets operators wirelessly share data from an in-cab Varioterminal for analysis and management.
