Steven - Generally a utility tractor is an ag tractor with the following modifications: - Fixed width wide front end. - Fixed width rear axles - Smaller diameter rear tires – so tractor sits lower to the ground. - Different final drive gearing – to compensate for the smaller drive tires. - Lower (and often more forward) operator position – operators legs straddle the transmission. - Generally have a “down” exhaust. Industrial tractors incorporate most of the features of the above (with the exception of the down exhaust), and add the following: - Much heavier wide front axle and larger front wheels to handle the stresses of loader operation. - Larger capacity (wider) rear tires. - Bigger brakes. - Higher capacity hydraulic pump (or sometimes multiple pumps) - Often fitted with “shuttle” type transmission for loader operation. - Usually do not have a rear PTO shaft or 3 point hitch. - Most have a foot-operated accelerator in addition to the governor hand lever. - Often have an integral front counterweight (cast iron grille frame, etc) for a backhoe - And of course the yellow paint!!
