Course Book

Course Description

Agricultural tractor and machinery are used to operate several different agricultural

operations including cultivating and controlling. Agricultural productions have been

increased since agricultural tractor and machinery have used in the sector. Agricultural

tractor and machinery factor to reduce labour requirement. Agricultural operation can be

done in short time and quality be increased by agricultural tractor and machinery.

Agricultural tractor and machinery have been operated at the beginning of 20th

century, but

in most currently agricultural countries in meddle have been used. Several modifications

have been occurred along the history of agricultural tractor and machinery in manes of P.T.O

and hydraulic System. Electric system and satellite in the Agricultural sector have switched

on at the end of 20th

century and beginning of 21st century. To conclude; Agricultural tractor

and machinery are used to increase product, perform operations in ideal time and correctly.

Course objectives

1. To illustrate crucial roles of agricultural tractor, types of tractor and structures of using it.

2. To identify main parts of agricultural tractor, structures of working and maintenance
