TractorGeeks is a fully independent platform, not associated with any manufacturer or
seller.
We collect and display data for agricultural tractors,
construction machines, and power equipment, and will add more categories over time.
The TractorGeeks is built by and for equipment users and machinery enthusiasts:
farmers, builders, homesteaders, homeowners, gear-heads, construction pros, engineers,
manufacturers, or anyone who uses, owns, maintains, or loves to learn about machinery
both new and old.
Our Purpose
TractorGeeks exists to increase knowledge and serve local communities everywhere as the
world's most extensive, authoritative, and user-friendly permanent record of
popular equipment data.
Manufacturer websites change frequently, and naturally only feature the latest equipment.
TractorGeeks provides a durable framework for machine data, both current and historical.
Our Values
In two words, TractorGeeks' values are: "Knowledge" and "Neighborliness".
The platform is built around helping one's neighbor through knowledge of accurate
datapoints, specifications, and useful equipment documentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes TractorGeeks a "Wiki-style" encyclopedia?
Like other Wiki sites, TractorGeeks is a platform where content is added,
maintained, and updated by users. Unlike other Wikis, TractorGeeks users follow structured
data patterns, rather than the articles or stories.
When did TractorGeeks launch?
We launched in 2024, after several years of development.
Is TractorGeeks associated with any other company?
No. TractorGeeks and its developers are fully independent, and not associated with any other
website, company, manufacturer, or seller. We're just geeks who love tractors and machinery!
What machine types are supported by the platform?
Right now, we support tractors, construction backhoes (TLBs), excavators, garden tractors,
zero-turn mowers, skid steers, track loaders, telehandlers, wheeled loaders, and utility
vehicles.
Do you plan to support more machine types?
Yes! We are currently building support for bulldozers, as well as classic steam machines. We
are researching other additions and listening to user
feedback.
With all these different machine types on the site, why is it called Tractor Geeks?
Great question! The term "tractor" is derived from the original traction engine which is arguably the ancestor of
all modern tractors and heavy equipment. The basic concept of combining the power of a
locomotive with a steerable, land-roving chassis, and later fitting all manner of tooling,
attachments,
and implements, has led to the great variety of machines we see today.
Where does the data on this site come from?
The primary data source for TractorGeeks machine profiles are published specifications provided by
manufacturers.
Before undertaking any
repair, always consult manufacturer-sourced brochures, materials, or
specifications, which themselves may be
included on the machine profiles.
How does the site pay for itself?
TractorGeeks is committed to providing a platform free of ads, and free of any associated
user data tracking.
As such, we are fully supported by our users, and by independent equipment
dealers. With your help, we believe we can continue to
operate this way and deliver a first-class experience for all TractorGeeks.
TractorGeeks Features
Machine Profiles
A machine's profile is the hub of its data. The profile is designated by it's brand, model
number, propulsion type, power class, and market. Variants of the machine, such as different
operator stations, do not usually require a separate profile.
Data Flexibility
A machine may have multiple engine options, transmission options, tire/track configurations,
and multiple OEM attachments. TractorGeeks machine profiles support this, and allows data to
grow over time.
Electric Machines
Electrification is an exciting, emerging space in tractors and heavy equipment! TractorGeeks
fully supports electric machine data, whether full electric or hybrid powertrains.
Photography Library
Images added to a machine's profile are cataloged by view, and easily filterable in the
gallery. The best and most useful photos show up first, ranked by users' votes.
Documentation Support
Whether ancient or modern, many machines have manufacturer brochures, publications, or other
associated documents. PDFs can be easily cataloged and found on a machine's profile for
technical and historic interest.
Comparison Tools
TractorGeeks is developing powerful machine comparison tools that allow data comparisons—even
across different machine types—for up to five machines at a time. Do you want to
compare the capabilities of a backhoe loader against a compact excavator? No problem.
Location Based Services
TractorGeeks is developing location-based services in order to show you equipment dealers and small businesses in
your area.
