Abstract

The purchase of a tractor and associated equipment is a substantial investment for a farmer living in a country where the average land holding size has been reduced to 1.15 hectares. The result of improper size can be costly; a tractor too small can result in long hours in the field, excessive delays and premature replacement. A tractor too large can result in excessive operating and overhead costs. The objective of the paper is to know how to determine the size of the largest tractor based upon field area, soil type and equipments used. The ideal equipment should get the work completed on time at the lowest possible cost.
