As a former farmer, I have some insight into this.
It's really not the tractor, it's who is driving the tractor. Tractors are pretty much the same. Some are heavy duty, some have more fuel capacity, some have large wheels,... well, you catch the drift. All of them can plow a field, and most of them do a good job at tilling the soil.
The mastery of the driver is what is at issue here. You can always just furrow in a straight line, but agriculture experts agree that for each field, you change the direction on alternate years, and some years, you let the field grow over to enrich the soil. Soil is a very delicate balance, and needs to be fertilized, hoed on a regular basis, and watered very generously.
My suggestion is learn to do crop circles. That gets everyone's attention, and puts a whole new look on that same field.
