If you’re a true gearhead, you know what it’s like to drive a tractor. It’s true that these are slow-moving machines and aren’t nearly as flashy, as let’s say a Lamborghini, but tractors bring their features into the mix. They’re all-terrain vehicles and can be driven smoothly along with dirt, tarmac or stone. Talk about versatility!

Asides from being purely agricultural machines, tractors can be modified and made into proper beast vehicles. Some of these have been featured on shows like ‘Top Gear’ where they’ve carried out cool stunts with these vehicles. There are also numerous concept tractors designed to look as edgy, futuristic machines from outer space.

If you’re looking for a tractor to assist you in your farming needs, you’re right on the mark. The best tractor for you would be one that ploughs a field at an efficient rate while also keeping fuel consumption low.

Either way, you can be sure that good tractors cost quite a few shiny silver dollars. The best tractors deliver substance combined with style and look fierce, too.

Keeping that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of the 6 best and most expensive tractors in the world available to purchase.
