For 1–2 ha, choose a 7–9 hp two-wheel tractor with a differential (DIFF) and a tiller about 1.2–1.65 m wide. You need a heavy machine of the WEIMA WM1100 class: the WM1100BE-6 DIFF weighs 135 kg and holds the furrow when ploughing. Up to 1 ha of light soil, a 7 hp petrol unit is enough, e.g. WEIMA WM1100C-6 DIFF (PLN 5,799). For 2 ha, clay and regular ploughing, a 9 hp diesel is better, e.g. WEIMA WM1100BE-6 DIFF (PLN 8,599.99).

How much power for 2 hectares?
For 1–2 ha, look for 7–9 hp. The gearbox with reverse, the reduction gear and the machine's weight matter just as much. On clay and for ploughing closer to 2 ha, take 9 hp. 12–16 hp makes sense when the tractor pulls a loaded trailer, runs a rotary mower or works more than 2 ha.
Do you need a differential for 2 ha?
Yes. A differential lets the wheels turn at different speeds, so a heavy tractor turns at the headland without jerking. Models with a differential carry DIFF in the name. MOTOR-SICH tractors have a lockable differential, which helps on soft ground.
Tiller working width
Width sets the number of passes. A 135 cm tiller instead of 80 cm means about 40% fewer passes over the same area. WM1100 models work with 110–165 cm tillers, and on the WM1100BE-6 DIFF the width adjusts from 80 to 165 cm.
Petrol or diesel for 2 ha?
Up to 1 ha and a few days of work a season, petrol is enough: it is cheaper and starts more easily in winter. For 1.5–2 ha, clay and dozens of hours a season, diesel burns less and handles long loads better. WEIMA states a service life of up to 3,000 hours for the WM178F diesel (fitted in the WM1100A). Full comparison: petrol or diesel: which engine to choose. Models: petrol tractors and diesel tractors.
Attachments for 2 ha
- Tillage: tiller (included), plough, ridger, steel wheels for ploughing.
- Potatoes: planter and digger; MOTOR-SICH offers the ready MS-KK-3 set.
- Mowing: rotary mower, e.g. MOTOR-SICH MS-KRN-2S (PLN 4,999). It needs a power take-off (PTO).
- Hauling: trailer. MOTOR-SICH states loads of up to 600 kg including the operator for its tractors.
Match attachments to the specific model, as hitches differ. More selection tips in how to choose a two-wheel tractor.
How much does a tractor for 2 ha cost?
A tractor with a differential starts at PLN 5,799 (petrol) and PLN 7,399 (diesel). Powerful 12–16 hp models cost PLN 7,759.99–14,299. Add attachments and oils: many WEIMA models are sold without engine and gear oil. The WM1100BE-6 DIFF needs 2.4–2.5 l of SAE 80W-90 for the gearbox and 1.65–1.75 l of 10W-30 or 10W-40 for the engine. Running-in and oil changes are covered in how to care for a two-wheel tractor and its engine.
Frequently asked questions
Which two-wheel tractor for 2 ha?
A 7–9 hp tractor with a differential and a 1.2–1.65 m tiller. For lighter soils a 7 hp petrol unit (WEIMA WM1100C-6 DIFF), for clay and regular ploughing a 9 hp diesel (WEIMA WM1100BE-6 DIFF).
Is 7 hp enough for 1 ha?
Yes, on light and medium soil, e.g. WEIMA WM1000N or WM1100C-6 DIFF. On heavy clay and for ploughing, 9 hp is better.
How heavy is a tractor for 2 ha?
Machines of this class are heavy: the WEIMA WM1100BE-6 DIFF weighs 135 kg. Weight helps when ploughing. MOTOR-SICH tractors have removable wheel weights.
Petrol or diesel for 2 ha?
For a few days a season, petrol. For dozens of hours a season, clay and hauling, diesel: it burns less and lasts longer under load.
