Are there any parts of Quebec where farmers use tractors like these?

Sure there are although the average farm/acreage is much smaller than in western Canada or out in the US Midwest.

JDeere is the most common there, but also plenty of Case/NewHolland, some Agco/Massey and quite a few more euro brands such as Fendt and Deutz than anywhere else up here.

I havent seen a lot of the tracked ones like in your link, the few I did encounter were utility-size in the 50-80 HP range and mostly used to groom snowmobile trails.

The top ag area is crescent shaped around the Richelieu valley_ from Sorel to 20 miles north of St-Hyacinthe heading south 10-15 miles west of St-Jean to the Ny border. Those are fertile alluvial soils with the highest thermal-unit/longest growing season by far anywhere in Qc. Its mostly corn and soybeans and a good number of very successful operators.
