WELCOME TO KEY SURVEY AND STUDY
A.WHAT IS TRACTOR
A tractor is a vehicle specifically designed to deliver a high torquefor the purposes of hauling a trailer or machinery used in agriculture or construction. Mos
tcommonly, the term is used to describe the distinctive farm vehicle: agricultural
implements may be towed behind or mounted on the tractor, and the tractor may also
provide a source of power if the implement is mechanized. The word tractor was taken
from Latin, being the agent noun of trahere "to pull". The first recorded use of the word
meaning "an engine or vehicle for pulling wagons or ploughs" occurred in
1901,displacing the earlier term traction engine (1859).Tractors are used extensively in
mowing and land-clearing applications. In fact, the common suburban riding mower is
basically a scaled-down tractor. They're also used in construction, landscaping, livestock
operations, and industrial settings.
B.BASIC OF CHOOSING A TRACTOR
Getting the right tractor is important: it's an expensive purchase and one that you can
easily last 10, 20, or 30 years or more. This Buyer Zone Tractors Buyer's Guide will help
you through the process, answering questions such as:
How much horsepower do you need?
What features are most important?
Which attachments are the most useful?
How can you choose the right dealer?
How much you can expect to pay? Start choosing a tractor by determining if one is
actually right piece for you. There are three main points to consider when choosing which
type of equipment is right for you:
FLEXIBILITY
Skid steer loaders and tractors are designed to power many kinds of attachments, while
excavators and loader/backhoes are dedicated to the specific tasks of digging and loading.
-

As a result, the specialized machines are more efficient at their specific jobs, but the
generalists are useful in more ways.
SURFACE IMPACT
Skid steers and excavator tracks can wreak havoc on grass or loose surfaces. In contrast,
even fairly substantial tractors equipped with the right tires can work on these typesof surfaces without doing noticeable damage.
OVERAGE AREA
Since they can move at faster speeds, tractors are more appropriate than skid steers for
work that involves covering a lot of ground: mowing or plowing large fields. They have
ventured in to automobile sector also with the launching of Rhino
C.WHAT ARE OUR KEY CONSIDERATIONS AND
APPLICATIONS
Once you decide that a tractor is the right purchase for you, think through the specifics of
what you'll need it do and the environment you'll be using it in. Some points to consider:
What kinds of surfaces you will be using it on?
Will it be used mainly on flat ground, or hilly terrain?
What attachments will you use?
Are there any limiting factors on the size or weight of the tractor? (Gates, garage doors,
narrow paths, small bridges)
D.HOW MUCH HORSE-POWER DO WE NEED
Once you have a handle on the types of jobs your tractor will be tackling, you can work
with a dealer to determine what horsepower you need. Horsepower is the most basic
distinction between tractor models: it dictates what work the tractor can perform, what
types of attachments it can run, and, to a large degree, how much you'll pay. Tractors with
less than 25 HP make up the small end of the market. They're capable of handling most
-

basic lawn work, but often can't provide enough power for more demanding jobs like
tilling or heavy brush mowing. Between 25 and 65 horsepower is a comfortable middle
ground that features tractors with capabilities suited for communities, horse farms,
nurseries, and many commercial uses. Above 65 HP, you get into tractors designed for
strenuous agricultural use, such as tilling fields and baling hay. The largest tractors forcommercial farming feature 200 HP engines or larger. Be aware: in some tractors, the
horsepower available to attachments through the power take off (PTO) connection is less
than the overall engine horsepower. Some attachments have more specific HP
requirements than others, so make sure you check these ratings carefully. Once you know
the general range of horsepower you're looking for, the best way to narrow it further is to
talk to a dealer who carries a wide range of different brands and models of tractor. The
best dealers, like those on the Buyer Zone network, will ask you specific questions
designed to help them determine exactly how much power you need. When it comes to
tractor horsepower, there are problems associated with both overbuying and under
buying. Buy a tractor that's too small and you may not be able to complete the jobs you
Have in mind. Buy one that's too large, and you'll be wasting money, as well as increasing
the turning radius, clearance requirements, and damage to the ground.
E.FEATURES
Once you decide on a base model tractor, there are several important features you
should consider
FOUR WHEEL DRIVE (4WD)
Dealers estimate that 90% to 95% of the small to medium-sized tractors they sell are four-
wheel drive (4WD) models. The reasons are simple:
4wd is critical if you want to use a loader on the front of the tractor
Tractors with 4WD have substantially better resale values
Tractors are often used on surfaces with poor traction, where 4wd is a huge benefit for
basic mowing on relatively level ground, 4WD doesn't really offer any advantages, and it
-

may do even more damage to finished lawns than 2-wheel drive tractors. The only time
2wheel drive is clearly a better choice is when driving the tractor for long distances at
road speeds. However, if you need to transport your tractor over long distances on a
regular basis, you'd be better off buying a trailer and transporting it that way.
ENCLOSED CABSAs in other types of small construction equipment, enclosed cabs are becoming a more
popular option with new tractors. Enclosed cabs can greatly increase operators' comfort
level when working in scorching sun or freezing temperatures. Like 4WD, cabs add a
significant amount to your initial purchase price, but also boost the resale value down the
line. They can be fairly basic an enclosure and a heater only or totally decked out, with air
conditioning and other comforts. Enclosed cabs are not available on all tractors. Because
of the power draw of the AC units (3-4 HP); they're less common on tractors less than 25
horsepower. And not all manufacturers offer cabs on all their models. But if your tractor
will see a lot of use in very hot or cold weather, the extra investment in an enclosed cab
can greatly increase their comfort and therefore their efficiency.
TRANSMISSION
While manual transmissions used to be the standard for tractors, other options are gaining
Popularity. In particular, the hydrostatic transmission, which allows clutch-free operation
in a range of speeds, has become far more common than in years past. Hydrostatic
transmissions are the best choice if the primary operators of the tractor aren't familiar with
using manual transmissions. However, they're more expensive, and they reduce the
available horsepower slightly when compared to manual transmissions. If your operators
are comfortable with using a clutch, you can save some money and get a little more
power out of your tractor by choosing a manual transmission.
SAFETY (ROPS)
All new tractors are required to come with rollover protection structures (ROPS) that
greatly improve safety. When used in conjunction with a seatbelt, ROPS prevent the
tractor from crushing the operator in a rollover accident. Another safety feature to look
for is an operator presence switch. These systems can detect the operator's weight in the
driver's seat and if there's no one in the seat, they automatically shut off the engine. Most
tractors will have basic lights and flashers for road operation, but you should check local
regulations for any rules about driving tractors on public roads to see if there are more
specific requirements.

HEAVY MACHINE SHOP
INTRODUCTION
The heavy machine shop is one of the most important shops of the industry. It plays a
very important role in the production of the tractors. As the name suggests all the heavy
components namely, the differential housing, the gear box housing, the crank case
housing, the cage and trumpet are machine here. The shop is called the backbone of the
industries.
Fig.1. Heavy Machine Shop
The heavy machine shop is divided into five sections.
1. Differential housing line2. Gear box housing line3. Cage & trumpet line4. Crankcase housing line5. Tool room

CNC Machines
Turning Centersare capable of executing many different types of lathe cutting operationssimultaneously on a rotating part. This arrangement allows quick return motion. Further
more of this allows feed rate change without any gear arrangement or control of speed of
motor. This is done by varying the eccentricity e. The higher the e, the higher the feed
rate is. A simple trade off of this feed rate control system is that as the feed rate is
reduced, the stroke of the ram also gets reduced. The hydraulic type shaper does not have
this problem and the feed rate and the stroke can be independently controlled. Figure 3-2
shows the hydraulic arrangement. This machine has been manufactured by Rockford
Machine Tool, Rockford, Illinois, USA.

G CODE AND M CODE
The entire functioning of the machine is based on G Code and M Code specifications. G
Codes define the preparatory functions of the machine. In simple terms, they control the
movement and machining related functions of the machine tool. For example, the code
"G76" followed by some related arguments is used for fine boring. "G00" with X, Y, Z
arguments rapidly move the bed and the spindle head to the position specified by the
arguments. M Codes are known as auxiliary functions. They control specific behaviors of
the machine. For example "M08" turns on the coolant, M05 stops the spindle.

Drill Press
Fig.4. Drill Press
A powered vertical drilling machine in which the rotating bit is pressed to the work by a
hand-lever. The work is secured to a table. The spindle speed is changed by selection of a
pair of step-pulley grooves. Larger drill bits turn at slower speeds. Lubricant (cutting
fluid) can be used to cool and improve cutting.

LATHE
Fig.5. Lathe
A lathe is a machine tool in which the work is held and rotated, while being shaped by a
cutting tool that is fed against the work carefully machined ways on top of the lathe bed
support and provide for precise alignment of the headstock and tailstock.
HEADSTOCK
The headstock contains the SPINDLE to which the various work holding attachments are
fitted. The spindle is hollow with the front end tapered internally to receive tools and
attachments with taper shanks. The hole permits long stock to be turned and allows a
KNOWCKOUT BAR to be used to remove taper shank tools. The spindle is usually fitted

with either a tapered nose or a threaded nose. Also found in the headstock is the SPEED
CONTROL MECHANISM. Power supplied by an electric motor is transmitted to the
spindle by moving the belts to positions on the pulleys or by changing the gear ratio. 21
Slower speeds on belt driven lathes are obtained by engaging the BACK GEARS. The
large gear (BULL GEAR) is keyed to the spindle and is locked to the pulley with theBULL GEAR LOCK PIN. The back gears can be engaged by disconnecting the bull gear
from the step pulley by releasing the bull gear lock pin. DO NOT ENGAGE THE BACK
GEARS WHILE THE SPINDLE IS ROTATING.
TAILSTOCK
The tailstock can be adjusted along the lathe ways to accommodate different lengths of
work. It mounts the dead center that supports the outer end of the work, and can be
fitted with cutting tools for drilling, reaming and threading. The unit is clamped to the
ways by tightening the clamp bolt nut. The spindle is positioned by rotating the
HANDWHEEL and is locked in position with the BINDING LEVER.
CARRIAGE
The carriage includes the SADDLE, APRON, CROSS AND LONGITUDINAL FEED,
SCREW CUTTING MECHANISM, COMPOUND REST and TOOL POST. The cutting
tool is supported and its actions controlled by the carriage which is moved along the ways
by hand or power feed. The power feed mechanism is located in the apron. A friction
clutch controls longitudinal and cross power feeds. Half nuts are engaged for thread
cutting.
FEED MECHANISM
The feed mechanism transmits power through a train of gears to the QUICK CHANGE
GEAR BOX, which regulates the amount of tool movement per revolution of the spindle.
The feed mechanism also contains gears for reversing tool travel. Lettering on the INDEX
PLATE tells how to position the levers for various thread cutting and feed combinations.
The LEAD SCREW transmits the power to the carriage through a gearing and clutch
arrangement in the apron. The FEED CHANGE LEVERS on the apron control the
operation of power feeds and, when placed in neutral, permit half-nuts to be engaged for
threading operations.

POWER TOOL SAFETY
Safety Tips:
Use the proper tool for the jobNever carry a tool by the cord or hose
Keep cords and hoses away from heat, oil, or sharp edges
Disconnect tools when not in use, before servicing and when changing accessories
Keep all guards in place and make sure they are working properly
Wear proper apparel. Loose clothing, long hair, and jewelry can become caught in
moving parts
Electric
Make sure tools are grounded
If working outdoors only use an outlet with GFI protection
Use double-insulated tools when possible
Do not use electric tools in damp or wet locations, and store the tools in a dry place
Hydraulic
Use approved fire-resistant fluid rated for the most extreme temperatures to which it
will be exposed
Do not exceed the manufacturers recommended safe operating pressures
Do not check for leaks using your hands because fluid under pressure may puncture
skin
PNEUMATIC
Always wear eye and hearing protection
Use a safety clip or retainer to prevent attachments, such as chisels on a chipping
hammer, from being unintentionally shot from the barrel
Fasten air hoses together securely with wire or a locking device
FUEL
Store and transport fuel only in containers approved for this application
Shut off the engine and extinguish all open flames before refueling
When operating equipment in closed areas is sure there is proper ventilation.

The Horizontal Band Saw
Fig.6. Metal Cutting Band Saw
The horizontal band saw incorporates a vise to clamp the material while the frame
holding the moving band saw blade pivots downward allowing the blade to contact and
begin cutting the material. The rate of feed is controlled by a hydraulic or spring
resistance. Please read and understand the Safety Rules in this section for both types of
band saws.
Horizontal Mill
This Mill has a spindle on a horizontal axis unlike the Vertical Mill. The cutters are
generally keyed to an arbor and driven by the spindle. A very robust and sturdy machine,
the Horizontal Mill is chosen over the Vertical Mill when large quantities of material has
to be removed by the cutters or there is less need for accuracy. A substantial vise is
required or very secure clamping techniques to secure the material to the table.
General Mill Information
COLUMN AND KNEE TYPE MILLING MACHINE
-
8/13/2019 sonalika tractors
18/33
18
The column knee type milling machine is so named because the components that provide
movement to the work consists of a COLUMN that supports and guides the knee vertical
movement. The knee supports the mechanism for obtaining cross traverse and
longitudinal table movements: VERTICAL, CROSS, & LONGITUDINAL, all of which
are controlled entirely by hand levers. All milling operations fall into two maincategories:
1. FACE MILLINGThe surface machined is parallel with the face of the cutter. Large
flat surfaces are machined by this method.
2. PERIPHERAL MILLINGThe surface being machined is parallel with the periphery
of the cutter. Milling cutters come in a large number of stock shapes, sizes, and kinds to
meet many requirements.
There are two general types:
1. SOLID CUTTERThe shank and body are made in one piece.
2. INSERTED TOOTH CUTTERThe teeth are made of special cutting material and are
brazed or clamped into place. Teeth can be replaced. Consult your instructor for the type
of cutter needed.
There are two distinct cutting methods in milling operations:
1. CONVENTIONAL or UP-MILLINGThe work is fed into the rotation of the cutter.
The chip is at minimum thickness at the start of the cut and is so slight that the cutter has
a tendency to slide until sufficient pressure is built up to make it bite into the work.
2. CLIMB or DOWN-MILLINGThe work moves in the same direction as the rotation
of the cutter. Full engagement of the tooth is instantaneous. The sliding action of
conventional milling is eliminated resulting in a better finish and a longer life. Climb
milling is not recommended on light milling machines because lack of rigidity and light
support offsets any advantages of the technique.
Care of Milling Cutters and Cutter Holding & Driving Devices
1. Support the cutter properly and hold the work rigid
2. Use the correct cutting speed and feed
3. An ample supply of cutting fluid is essential
4. Use the correct cutter for the job
5. Store cutters in individual compartments or on wooden pegs
6. Clean cutters before storing
-

7. Never hammer a cutter on the arbor. Examine the arbor for burrs or nicks if the cutter
does not slip on easily.
8. Use sharp cutters End mills are held in collets or special holders while drill bits are
held in chucks that install into the spindle.
To maintain accuracy during the machining operation it is necessary to prevent damage tothe cutter holding and driving devices:
1. Keep the taper of the arbor free of nicks
2. Clean and lubricate the bearing sleeve and arbor support bearing before use
3. Clean the spacing collars before placing them on the arbor, otherwise cutter run-out
will occur.
4. Store arbors separately and in a vertical position
5. Never loosen or tighten the arbor nut unless the arbor support is locked in place
6. Use a wrench of the correct type and size
7. Do not tighten the arbor nut by striking the wrench with a hammer or mallet. This may
crack the nut or distort the threats
8. To remove an arbor or adapter from the machine:
a. Loosen the nut on the draw-in bar a few turns. DO NOT remove it from the arbor
completely
b. Tap the draw-in bar head with a lead hammer to loosen the arbor from the spindle
c. Hold the loosened arbor with one hand and unscrew the draw-bar with the other
d. Remove the arbor from the spindle, clean and store it
Cutting Speeds and Feeds, Fluids the time required to complete a milling operation and
the quality of the finish of the machined surface is almost completely governed by the
CUTTING SPEED and FEED of the cutter. Cutting Speed refers to the distance, measure
in feet, a point (tooth) on the circumference moves in one minute. It is expressed in terms
of FEET PER MINUTE (FPM) and is directly dependent on the REVOLUTIONS PER
MINUTE (RPM) of the cutter.
Feed is the rate the work moves into the cutter and is given as FEED PER TOOTH PER
REVOLUTION (FTR). The selection of the proper feed is probably the most difficult
thing for the machinist to determine. In view of the many variables; width of cut, depth of
cut, condition of the machine and cutter etc., feed should be as coarse as possible and
consistent with the desired finish. Consult the mill manual or wall chart for the speeds and
feeds required for various materials.

DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEM:-
FUNCTION
If the axle is a single unit and the wheels are free on the axle that is just moving on thebearings, as is the case of tractor front axle, the wheel swill turn at different speeds to
compensate for the difference in travel. However when the wheel are driven positively by
engine, a device is necessary which can make the wheels moves at different speeds on turns, whereas
the speed of both the wheels should remain equal when the tractor is following a straight path.
To accomplish this purpose a system of gears called differential system is provided.
WORKING:-
The engine drives the crown wheel mounted on the cage assembly through tail pinion. Four bevel pinions
are mounted on the bull pinion shafts lt. and rt. which are supported on the taper
roller bearings in the differential housing. These taper roller bearings give rigid support to
cage assembly. The differential system is very useful in the automobiles. This help in turning
the vehicle. As already discussed above that how the vehicle differential works while the vehicle
is taking turn. During the turning the inner speed of the wheel reduces and the outer wheel moves
faster than the inner wheels. The differential on the vehicle distributes the power between
the two wheels by giving the less power to the inner wheel than the outer one & the vehicle moves
easily. Steering system is used for the turning of the vehicle on the cross, which is fitted in
the cage assembly.

GEAR BOX
The gearbox used in the tractors being manufactured by ITL is of the CONSTANT MESH
TYPE. This is the simplest type of gearbox. The power comes from the engine to the clutch
shaft and hence to the clutch gear which is always in mesh with a gear on the lay shaft. All the
gears on the lay shaft are fixed to it and as such they are all the time rotating when theengine is running. The clutch is engaged three and one reverse speed are attained on suitable moving the
gear on the main shaft by means of selector mechanism. The power, which the engine develops, is
transmitted to the wheels of the tractor by certain essential parts. The application of engine
power to the driving wheels through these parts is called POWER TRANSMISSION.These parts
are clutching, gearbox, differential and rear axles. To start a tractor from rest, the inertia
of its whole weight must be overcome. Diesel engine does not develop its full power at low speed. It
has to run at fairly high speed before it develops max power and torque. Since much power is needed in
starting, climbing uneven land and pulling loads, a provision must be made to permit the engine to run at
high speed while the wheels run at low speed. This is achieved by a system called
Gearbox.With the help of gearbox, we can achieve this and pulling power of the tractor can be
increased or decreased by varying the speed of tractor. For this we use ConstantMesh Gear
type.
PRINCIPLE:-
As we know that the horsepower developed is directly proportional to the product or
torque and rotational speed, i.e. H.P= K.N.T
FUNCTION
1. To convert the power of the engine running at high speed into lowspeed at high torque
2. To exchange the forward motion into the reverse motion of thevehicle.
3. To disconnect the engine from the rear wheels by putting the gearbox into neutral position.
TYPES OF GEARBOX
1. Selective gearbox
2. Sliding mesh type
3. Constant mesh type
4. Synchronous type
5. Planetary gear

will see a lot of use in very hot or cold weather, the extra investment in an enclosed cab
can greatly increase their comfort and therefore their efficiency.
TRANSMISSION
In particular, the hydrostatic transmission, which allows clutch-free operation in a rangeof speeds, has become far more common than in years past. Hydrostatic transmissions are
the best choice if the primary operators of the tractor aren't familiar with using manual
transmissions. However, they're more expensive, and they reduce the available
horsepower slightly when compared to manual transmissions. If your operators are
comfortable with using a clutch, you can save some money and get a little more power
out of your tractor by choosing a manual transmission.
SAFETY (ROPS)
All new tractors are required to come with rollover protection structures (ROPS) that
greatly improve safety. When used in conjunction with a seatbelt, ROPS prevent the
tractor from crushing the operator in a rollover accident. Another safety feature to look
for is an operator presence switch. These systems can detect the operator's weight in the
driver's seat and if there's no one in the seat, they automatically shut off the engine. Most
tractors will have basic lights and flashers for road operation, but you should check local
regulations for any rules about driving tractors on public roads to see if there are more
specific requirements.
TIRES
Your application will also determine what type of tires you should choose. Tractors can
use many types of pneumatic tires: agricultural tires for working in loose dirt; industrial
tires for heavy moving and loader work, or turf tires that reduce damage when mowing
finished lawns. Your dealer should show you several types of tires that appropriate foryour use.
TRACTOR ATTACHMENTS
While the tractor itself provides the power to get your job done, the attachments are what
actually do the work. As one dealer told us, a tractor without attachments is basically a
slow ride to the mailbox. Buying the right attachments for the job you need to do is an
essential part of a tractor purchase. The most common type of application is moving
materials around, and for that job, a front-end loader is a great choice. A simple scoop

on two arms, a loader can be used for carrying dirt, rocks, mulch, or other loose material
leveling and landscaping work; and for carrying heavy items. Unlike most attachments,
this popular tool connects to the front of the tractor, instead of the back, meaning it can be
left on while using the back end for other attachments.
Box blades
These are used to scrape or push earth, for grading, leveling, or bulldozing applications.
Mowers
These come in many types: rough cut and brush mowers for cutting through heavy growth
and finish mowers for more detailed work.
CONNECTING TRACTORS ATTACHMENTS
Most attachments connect using a three-point hitch at the back of the tractor. This lets
them use the power take-off unit (PTO) as a power source. Almost all tractors use a
standard 540 RPM PTO and three-point hitch, which means attachments are generally
interchangeable between different tractors. Verify that the horsepower rating of your PTO
is enough to run the attachments you plan on using.1000 and 2000 RPM PTOs are also
available, but unless you need a specialized attachment that only works at those speeds,
they're not important. Some tractors have a PTO located in the middle of the tractor,
beneath the operator. This can be helpful for precise mowing, but it's not very common.
CHOOSING A TRACTOR DEALER
Buying a tractor involves more than just choosing the right model and the rightattachments: you have to choose a tractor dealer you can work with for the long term.
Like any piece of heavy equipment, your tractor will wear and eventually break, making
your relationship with the dealer important. Having warranty coverage on your tractor
isn't worth much if the dealership can't do the work you need. Ask potential tractor
dealers about their service policies:
Do you provide loaners if my tractor needs to be taken in for service? Will you pick my
tractor up if it needs to go in for extensive work?

You should visit the dealers facility. Simply seeing the parts warehouse and service areas
can give you a good sense of their capabilities.
REGULAR MAINTAINENCE
Relatively simple tasks like changing the oil, replacing filters, and lubricating joints arean essential part of extending your tractor's lifespan, and many tractor owners choose to
take care of routine maintenance on their own. But in addition to repairing breakdowns,
your dealer should also help with this type of preventative maintenance. They should
provide you with a detailed maintenance manual, and walk you through the basic
maintenance procedures if necessary. They can also be your source for the parts and
supplies you need to keep the tractor running smoothly.
Handling this routine maintenance isn't difficult, but it does require that you stick to a
schedule. Because regularly scheduled maintenance is so important, it can make sense
to purchase a maintenance contract. For a small yearly fee, the dealer will make sure all
required maintenance is done right and on time, either at your location or theirs.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Many tractor manufactures have been around for decades. While newer or lesser-known
brands maybe cheaper, choosing a brand with longevity helps unsure that you'll be able to
find parts when you need them. Better dealers will let you take a tractor for a demo at
your own site. This is a great way to evaluate different models: you'll be able to get a feel
for how well each performs in your specific applications. You'll also be able to directly
evaluate subjective issues like visibility and ease of use.
Lastly, dont underestimate your personal reactions. Choose a dealer you feel is honest
with you and easy to work with: those impressions are often good indicators of how the
dealer will treat you in the long run. If the dealer aggressively starts selling you on a
tractor without trying to determine your needs, you may want to keep moving. Quality
dealers want to put you in the right tractor, knowing that if you're satisfied with your
purchase, you'll eventually come back.

USAGE OF TRACTORS IN MODERN TIMES
Tractors form an integral part of farm mechanization and have a crucial role to play in
increasing agricultural productivity. Tractor is a highly versatile piece of machinery
having a multitude of uses, used in agriculture both for land reclamation and for carrying
out various crop cultivation and also employed for carrying out various operations
connected with raising the crops by attaching suitable implements and to provide the
necessary energy for performing various crop production operations involved in the
production of agricultural crops. Tractors are capital intensive, labor displaying used as a
mode of transport, in electricity generation, in construction industry and for haulage
operation. It has now become an integral part of farm structure .The application of tractor
for agricultural activities which swept India during the last twenty years have erased the
problem of farmers. Farm mechanization program in India aims to integrate the use of
available human and animal farm power with mechanical sources of power for increasing
the productivity. India is mainly an agricultural country.
Agriculture accounts for approximately 25 percent of IndiasGDP and employs nearly 62
percent of the population. It is therefore considered to be the vital sector of Indian
economy.
