what is the maximum grade you wish to climb?

What is the maximum speed you wish to go?

what is the minimum radius curve you can tolerate on entry/exit ramps.

Low powered tractors will take a lot longer to get up to speed and to climb hills. Weal ones can climb hill, but more slowly.

The tractor makers have charts of all this. The weakest is often not the most cost effective, it uses less diesel, but more time is takenm,

Choose a Crawler Tractor with max Drawbar pull 10 Ton+ if you need to climb 1/12 grade.
