Tractor Options - Which Ones to Get and the Ones to Ignore

A buyer's-guide style rundown from someone with dealership experience, covering roughly 14 named options, including 4WD, loader quick-attach compatibility (skid-steer vs. proprietary), transmission types, tire choices (R4 vs. ag vs. R14), economy PTO, remotes, third-function valves, roll bars, and seat quality, with practical advice on what's hard or expensive to add later. Best for first-time buyers trying to sort out the options list before walking into a dealership.
