What Size Tractor
Do I Need?
Rollins Machinery Will Tell You Exactly.
What size tractor do I need? It’s the most common question BC and Alberta farmers ask before buying. The answer depends on your acreage, terrain, and what you’re working with — not just horsepower. From 5-acre hobby farms to 500-acre operations, Rollins Machinery has matched farmers with the right New Holland or Yanmar tractor for 80 years.
What Size Tractor Do I Need for My Farm?
Every farm is different. Acreage, terrain, soil type, and what you’re growing all affect which tractor is right for you. Here’s what our specialists typically recommend for Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, Okanagan, and Alberta operations.
For properties under 25 acres. Mowing, light tilling, loader work, and moving materials. Yanmar’s compact series — tight turning, simple to operate, built to last.
Most popular for 20–50 acre BC farms. Handles tillage, haying, baling, and row crop work. New Holland Workmaster proven in Fraser Valley conditions.
Ideal for 100–300 acre production farms. Larger balers, seeders, disc equipment. New Holland T5 and T6 — the proven workhorse, parts always in stock.
For 150–500 acre operations. The T7.245 and T7.300 handle the heaviest implements — large square balers, plows, high-capacity seeders — all day long.
Growing in the Okanagan? We Have the Right Tool for Between the Rows.
Standard ag tractors aren’t built for orchard and vineyard work. New Holland’s specialty lineup is purpose-built for narrow rows, low canopy clearance, and the precision that high-value crops demand. Our Kelowna team works exclusively with Okanagan growers.
