Crawler Tractors are the Dominant Force in Paddy Fields: CF Machinery Crawler Tractors Designed Specifically for Wet Land

With the advancement of agricultural technology, rice cultivation has become widespread. Land preparation is inseparable from the use of agricultural machinery. Crawler tractors for paddy fields offer advantages such as low ground pressure per unit area and excellent soil adhesion (reducing slippage). They demonstrate superior passability in wet and soft soil conditions and boast high traction efficiency. Consequently, they are highly favored by farmers. Today, we'll explore the features and benefits of paddy field crawler tractors.

1. Light Overall Weight, High Torque

The primary operations in paddy fields are rotary tillage and puddling. In some areas, repeated tractor operations have led to the gradual deterioration of the paddy environment, with the hardpan layer becoming increasingly deep. This makes tractors highly susceptible to getting stuck during operation. Therefore, a lighter tractor weight is preferable to minimize soil damage. To ensure quick recovery from getting stuck while meeting the demands of paddy field work, the engine must have ample torque reserve.

2. High Traction Force, Superior Performance in Deep Plowing and Heavy-Duty Tasks

Crawler tractors of the same weight offer 1.4 to 1.8 times the traction force of wheeled tractors. In terms of traction efficiency, wheeled tractors achieve 55-65%, while crawler tractors reach 70-80%. This means that for tractors of the same horsepower, wheeled tractors lose 15% more effective engine power compared to crawler tractors.

3. Small Turning Radius, High Maneuverability

Paddy fields in mountainous areas are typically very small. During operations, the time spent turning around can exceed the time spent on actual work, leading to very low efficiency. Hence, a smaller tractor turning radius is essential. The CF crawler tractor, with its small turning radius, requires only one reversal at the headland, significantly saving operational time and improving efficiency.

4. Low Ground Pressure, Protects Soil Structure

Using crawler tractors in dryland avoids forming a plow pan, preserving soil moisture and preventing drought. In paddy fields, it prevents damage to the hardpan layer, ensuring normal cultivation. The ground pressure of wheeled tractors is 3 times that of crawler tractors. Tests show that after compaction by wheeled tractors, seedling emergence rates are only 30%-40%, whereas after compaction by crawler tractors, rates remain at 80%-90%. Furthermore, the ruts left by wheeled tractors in paddy fields hinder transplanting and harvesting, and can even cause the mud layer to deepen continuously, rendering the field uncultivable.

5. High Ground Clearance

Transporting equipment to and from paddy fields often involves traversing uneven, rutted paths. During operations, the increasing depth of the soil's hardpan layer necessitates deeper tractor operation. To prevent getting stuck and ensure passability, high ground clearance is crucial. **The CF-1052X Crawler Tractor boasts a ground clearance of 560mm, providing excellent passability for agricultural machinery.**

6. Exceptional Passability and Climbing Ability

Due to their low center of gravity and high adhesion coefficient, crawler tractors exhibit excellent stability on slopes, resisting overturning and slippage. They also feature high maneuverability with a small turning radius and strong off-road climbing capability. This makes them significantly better adapted than wheeled tractors for farming terraced fields and working in mountainous and hilly areas.
