The Quantification of Operational Reliability of Agricultural Tractors with the Competing Risks Method

open access: yesTehnički Vjesnik, 2022
Reliability is one of basic parameters affecting the decision to purchase a new or used farming machine. However, there are no objective rankings of the probability of farming machine failures after any period of operation.

Experimental Investigation of Traction Power Transfer Indices of Farm-Tractors for Efficient Energy Utilization in Soil Tillage and Cultivation Operations

open access: yesAgronomy, 2021
Farm tractors in cultivation consume a big amount of fossil fuels and emit greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Improving traction performance and power transfer indices of wheeled tractors and field terrain soil with higher traction (pull ability) at ...

Lateral Stability Performance of Articulated Narrow-Track Tractors

open access: yesAgronomy, 2021
A tractor losing lateral stability starts to rollover. It is a matter of fact that tractor lateral rollover accidents are one of the most frequent causes of death and injuries for farmers.

The politics of mechanisation in Zimbabwe: tractors, accumulation and agrarian change

open access: yesJournal of Peasant Studies, 2021
This article explores whether mechanisation affects patterns of accumulation and differentiation in Zimbabwe's post land reform where policy consistently disadvantages smallholders. Is the latest mechanisation wave any different?

Uber for tractors? Opportunities and challenges of digital tools for tractor hire in India and Nigeria

open access: yesWorld Development, 2020
Agricultural mechanization can contribute to agricultural transformation. However, there is a need to find institutional solutions allowing smallholder farmers, who play a key role in agricultural development, to access tractors even though they cannot ...

Unmanned Agricultural Tractors in Private Mobile Networks

open access: yesNetwork, 2021
The need for high-quality communications networks is urgent in data-based farming. A particular challenge is how to achieve reliable, cost-efficient, secure, and broadband last-mile data transfer to enable agricultural machine control. The trialed ad hoc

Precision planter monitoring system based on mobile communication network

open access: yesIET Networks, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Sowing is an important link in agricultural production and the basis for ensuring high yields and bumper harvests. Agriculture requires precision plows with good performance and stable work. However, the seeding process is in a completely closed state, and the operator relies mainly on experience to judge the operating state and performance of
