Yadwinder Singh, 44, is accused of murdering his wife Amarjit Kaur Sardar, 41, before allegedly interfering with her body.
Ms Sardar was found dead with gruesome injuries at her property in Woodhill, south of Brisbane, on Thursday morning.
Police have seized a lawn tractor and a sedan from the rural property.

Singh is believed to have called emergency services to report his wife’s death. The paramedics could not save her.
Police took the couple’s two phones as evidence and it is understood that detectives are investigating the recordings found on the devices, the Brisbane Times reported.
The content is believed to include videos made together and require translation.
The couple has two teenage children and owns a 55-hectare property, which houses animals and cane.
Court documents say Singh is a truck driver who was born in India.
Singh is believed to have called emergency services to report his wife’s death. The paramedics could not save her.
“There were some observations that our investigators made in our initial screening of the crime scene that led us to fear that there may have been some tampering with the crime scene,” Detective Inspector Chris Knight said.
“He reported that his wife was deceased and the (ambulance) operators asked him some limited follow-up questions.”
Singh’s matter was mentioned at Beenleigh Magistrates Court on Friday. Police prosecutor Karine Evans said a pathology report would take three months.
“There will also be a long delay in relation to forensic and mechanical testing (of the alleged) tractor involved,” he said.
“There were quite a few recordings on the defendant’s and victim’s phones that require translation, so these will likely be the longest delays.”
Singh remained in custody until June.
