Uses For Construction Equipment On Your Farm

Farms nowadays rely on a lot of farm equipment to ensure efficient, safe, and timely work, making a number of difficult jobs into relatively simple rides. Did you know that you could also be using construction equipment around your property, though? We here at Tatum Motor Company want to make sure you have all the right tools for the job, so we’ve put together some uses for construction equipment on your farm, below. To learn more, or to see the construction equipment we have for sale, contact our stores in Anderson, Missouri, or Tontitown, Arkansas, today!

Excavators

These hefty machines are perfect for digging large areas efficiently, allow you to easily create ditches and trenches, clear out foundations, and generally make some pretty big holes in the ground. That means excavators can help you prepare the land for planting, not to mention how much easier it will be to construct sheds, barns, and fences on your property. You could even use them to clear out land for use as pastures or fields!

Telehandlers

These telescoping tools make it a cinch to stack hay bales, push fallen trees and heavy branches out of your way, and otherwise reach tall areas like roof- or tree-tops for whatever reason. There are a number of different attachments you can put on the end of a telehandler’s boom, as well, including winches, pallet forks, or buckets.

Skid-Steer Loaders

These common and versatile construction machines can tackle a wide variety of tasks. You can hook on a number of attachments like an auger, grappling fork, bucket, trencher, or even a broom. Having one tool with that many uses is invaluable, making skid-steer loaders perfect for your operation.

Forklifts

You’re likely familiar with these machines, typically used in warehouses and other large but self-contained areas with large crates, pallets, and boxes to move around. On the farm, forklifts can help you move pallets, hay bales, and other large, bulky, and heavy items that would otherwise be a pain to move.

Front-End Loaders

Visually similar to a bulldozer’s bucket, a front-end loader can be mounted to most tractors to move soil, manure, and other loose material easily. These are also great for lifting heavy objects, grading land, and digging ditches. It’s perfect for smaller farming operations that need a bit of heavy lifting done.

When it comes to applying tools designed for other trades to your farm, the only real limit is your imagination!
