Tractors: Farming Simulator 25
Tractors are vehicles capable of towing and operating almost any type of equipment in the game. Most of them can attach front loaders, most of them are perfect for grape and olive farming.
Description
A single tractor can perform nearly any job on your farm given the correct equipment, with very few exceptions. Although tractors are typically not the best vehicles for most jobs (e.g. Forestry, towing tippers, stacking pallets), a good tractor can fill in for any expensive machine you can't afford yet, and often costs much less to buy.
Farming Simulator 25 offers some different models of tractors by default. There are many differences between these models, but the most important differences tend to be cost and horsepower. A stronger tractor typically costs more, but will have an easier time working with heavier equipment; Whereas the smaller tractors are easy to maneuver around your farm. Additionally, many tractors have special upgrades that can make them more useful than other tractors.

Tractor Categories
Tractors differ from one another mostly by Horsepower. A tractor's horsepower determines how much weight it can pull comfortably, and therefore what Implements it can operate and what Trailers it can tow. Therefore, tractors can be split into rough groups to show which tractors are suitable for which jobs.
Small
Horsepower range: 95 - 143 hp
Small tractors are the cheapest and weakest of all tractors. Their low cost is pretty much their only advantage over other tractor categories. Most scenarios give the player at least one Small Tractor for free to start with, and more can easily be bought early on.
Small tractors are not really suitable for fieldwork, since they can only operate the smallest Implements. Almost every type of Implement (such as Sowing Machines, Cultivators, Mowers, etc.) includes at least one model that's small enough to be carried and operated by a Small Tractor. These small Implements are really quite small, and take a lot of time to process even a single small field.
Small tractors are technically capable of towing Tippers and Loading Wagons - but again, only the smallest models. Even the smallest tipper, when fully loaded, can pose a problem for a Small Tractor. Even a Car should be able to out-perform a Small Tractor when towing.
Most Small tractors can be fitted a Front Loading Arm, allowing them to move cargo and Pallets. With an arm installed, a Small Tractor is a relatively decent choice for Animal Husbandry work. Nonetheless, it's important to remember that a Small Tractor is a very light vehicle - they tend to tip over when lifting heavy cargo, or when making sharp turns while carrying such cargo. Driving carefully, and attaching a Weight to the back of the Tractor, can help mitigate this problem.
Overall, Small Tractors gradually become obsolete as you get the money to buy larger Tractor models.
Medium
Horsepower range: 160 - 302 hp
Medium Tractors are a significant step up from Small Tractors in many different ways, mostly thanks to their powerful engine and increased stability.
The engine of a Medium Tractor is powerful enough to operate medium field Implements, or a couple of small Implements simultaneously (e.g. two Mowers). When using these tools, a Medium tractor can complete its fieldwork a lot faster than a Small tractor would.
Medium Tractors are the best vehicles for operating a Front Loading Arm. They are much heavier than Small Tractors, and this weight gives them much-needed stability when front-loading heavy cargo; they don't tip over as easily. All Medium Tractors in the base game can be upgraded with Wheel Weights or even Twin Wheels, increasing stability even more. This Stability when Front-Loading, coupled with a Tractor's innate ability to operate machinery and perform a wide variety of different jobs, makes Medium Front-Loading Tractors some of the best Loaders for Animal Husbandry.
Finally, Medium Tractors are also powerful enough to tow most Tippers and Loading Wagons even when they are full of cargo. Medium Tractors are not very speedy, but if you need towing and can't get a faster (or stronger) vehicle to do it, a Medium Tractor should be able to fill in temporarily.
Large
Horsepower range: 280 - 435 hp
Large tractors are designed for field work, and have the necessary horsepower to operate any field machinery comfortably - with the exception of a few pieces of super-heavy equipment that require upwards of 500hp. Large implements make fieldwork - even on large fields - go smoothly and quickly. There are no vehicles more suitable for standard field work than Large tractors.
Large tractors are also very good at towing Containers, even when they are fully loaded. Large tractors generally have the highest Maximum Speed of all tractor categories, and can move both containers and machinery from place to place rather quickly. The largest of the Large tractors have no problem towing massive Tippers to your silo or selling point, although they are not as good as a Truck for this job.
Finally, note that Large Tractors do not have an attachment point for a Front Loading Arm, and therefore cannot do any lifting (The main exception is John Deere 7R Series tractor, which can attach unique front loader for it, it also has is unique Laforge EZ 1700 weight which goes under the tractor). If you need a powerful vehicle for this (e.g. for Silage work), consider buying a Wheel Loader or Telehandler instead.
Super-Large
Horsepower range: 484 - 778 hp
Super-Large tractors are incredibly powerful machines that rival (or even surpass) Trucks in sheer horsepower - but their cost is respectively high. These gigantic vehicles can perform field work using any machinery with ease, but their primary purpose is to operate super-heavy Implements, which even Large tractors may struggle with.
Most Super-Large Tractors are fitted with a crawler track instead of wheels, giving them excellent traction on pretty much any surface. Wheeled Super-Large Tractors can instead be fitted with Triple Wheel upgrades to make them virtually impossible to flip over.
The strongest of the Super-Large tractors are actually powerful enough to pull a massive Tipper when it is fully loaded, even uphill. On some maps, they may perform better than the strongest Truck when pulling such tippers.
Trivia
- Case IH Steiger 715 Quadtrac is a strongest tractor in the game with its maximum power of 778 hp.
- The Antonio Carraro Tigrecar 3200 GST was moved from "Small Tractors" (it was here in Farming Simulator 22) category to "Cars & Bikes" category because it appears to have a purpose like a car.
