Product Description
A project was undertaken to study the influence of soil, tyre and system parameters on performance of three traction tyres commonly used on Indian tractors. Developed experimental facilities include tyre test carriage with continuous recording of input torque, drawbar pull, tyre sinkage and forward speed. Deflection and contact characteristics were made using multiple overlay technique and present universal characteristic of tyre was modified for a group of tyres. Zero condition was established on hard surface highlighting the weakness of specified zero conditions. Traction prediction equations were developed and compared with existing models using mobility number approach. The unique values of optimum normal load, maximum drawbar pull and optimum pull to weight ratio were determined at 20, 25 and 30 per cent slip. Selection of optimum size tyre for tractors on the basis of weight power utilization and soil tyre interface was also done.

Product Description
Following is a sample of the information contained on this CD: The invention relates to three-point linkages of agricultural tractors of the kind comprising two spaced draft links adapted to be pivotally connected to the rear of a tractor and extending rearwardly therefrom, a rearwardly extending top link adapted to be pivotally connected to the rear of the tractor at a point above and between the draft links, and a linkage adapted to connect the draft links to an hydraulically operated mechanism on the tractor which effects raising and lowering of the draft links. In order to adjust the position of an implement carried by the links about a fore-and-aft axis, there are normally provided means for adjusting one of the lower draft links up or down relatively to the other. This is normally accomplished by providing, in a link connecting one draft link to the hydraulically operated mechanism, a link adjuster comprising a threaded rod and tube with a hand wheel geared to the rod. In order to effect this adjustment it is necessary for the tractor driver to turn round bodily and adjust the linkage by turning the hand wheel manually. According to the invention, in a three-point linkage of the kind first referred to an hydraulic ram is incorporated in the linkage for connecting the draft links to the hydraulically operated mechanism, operation of which ram is adapted to raise or lower one draft link relatively to the other. Preferably the hydraulic ram is a double-acting ram. In the case where said hydraulically operated mechanism comprises two parallel arms extending rearwardly of the tractor and adapted to be swung up and down hydraulically, said linkage for connecting the draft links to the hydraulically operated mechanism may comprise two links each adapted to be pivotally connected at its upper end to one of said arms and pivotally connected at its lower end to one of the draft links, the hydraulic ram being incorporated in one of the first said

Why do most agricultural aircraft have those ugly looking tall cabins? Aircraft such as Ayres Thrush, Grumman Ag Cat, PZL-106 Kruk & the PZL M-18 Dromader all have them when being used for crop dusting operations. Although I did see a crop duster without one once. Is it just for visibility? Damn they are ugly…

Product Description
A limited edition of “Development of the Agricultural Tractor in the United States was compiled and printed in 1954 by the Agricultural Engineering Research Branch (Farm Machinery Section), Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture. As demand for copies exceeded the supply, and since it was not practicable to arrange for a reprinting by the USDA, The American Society of Agricultural Engineers sponsored this second printing, in order that this comprehensive and notable contrivution to the early history of the ageicltural tractor might be given wider distribution. The offset plates used for the original printing were loaned to ASAE for this puopose. Except for the omission of five pages of tractor demonstration and tractor show scenes, this second printing is identical in content with the first. This 1974 edition was the first combined edition of Parts I and II. Part I represents agricultural tractors utilized in the United States from 1855 thru 1919. Part II represents agricultural tractors utilized in the United States from 1920 to 1950. The text includes hundreds of photo and illustations, descriptions of the tractors and tables on production and machinery specifications. Extremely unique book.

THE AGRICULTURAL TRACTOR 1855-1950

India has an agricultural sector that fulfills the livelihood needs of over 60 percent of the country’s population. In such a situation, the demand of agricultural implements in the country is bound to experience growth. Interestingly, the agricultural implements suppliers and manufacturers in India are not only fulfilling the domestic needs, but also increasing the country’s share in the foreign trade.

As far as the domestic market for the agricultural implements is concerned, it is still in its nascent stage but not for many years to come. The following discussion analyzes the growing importance of these implements and how agricultural implements manufacturers are playing their roles.

Global and Domestic Growth Rate

The global agricultural implements market is growing at a rate of 4.8 percent annum and it is expected to attain the worth of $80 billion in 2010 and $93.2 billion by 2012. For the domestic agricultural implements market in India, a compound annual growth rate of 5 percent should help it attain the worth of $8 billion in 2010.

The exports from the Indian agricultural implements manufacturers are finding international acceptance. For example, the tractors manufactured in India witnessed a growth from US$ 78 million in 2000-01 to US$ 235 million in 2004-05. The major markets for the Indian exports include the countries in Africa, Asia, South America and the Middle East. About 10 percent of the global agricultural implements market is acquired by the agricultural implements suppliers from India.

Reasons for Growth

The face of the Indian agriculture is fast changing from hand farming to mechanized farming methods. This has given a boost to the demand of agricultural equipments in various states of the country. Some of the other reasons for this include:

Rise in the concept of contract farming where a contract is signed between a farmer and the contractor. The farmer produces the crops for the contractor on his own land and harvest and delivers the crops to the contractor at a pre-determined price.
Increased availability of institutional loans in the past few years has enabled the farmers to purchase the expensive implements for farming.
Urbanization has inspired a large section of village population to migrate to cities. Thus, the reduced manpower has increased the demand of implements.

Moreover, the increased brand value of top agricultural implements manufacturers in India has encouraged farmers to trust on their high-performing implements.

Popular Agricultural Implements

The agricultural implements suppliers offer implements in the following categories:

For land development, seed bed preparation and tilling, tractors and mould board plough are the modern implements.
Modern seed drills and planters are used for the processes like sowing and planting.
Blowers and power sprayers are used for plant protection.
Modern harvesters and threshers are other implements manufactured by the agricultural implements manufacturers.
Dozers, scrapers, dibblers, seed extractors, ditchers and dryer are the common implements in demand.

It is clear from the above discussion that agricultural implements are not only readily available but they also contribute towards convenient and profitable farming. So, in an agricultural country like India, the demand for these implements should increase year by year.

World Agricultural Equipment to 2014
 
 Global demand to rise 4.5% annually through 2014
 World demand for agricultural equipment is forecast to rise 4.5 percent per year through 2014 to $123 billion. Gains will be paced by the accelerating mechanization of the agricultural sectors in developing countries, especially in heavily populated China and India. Farm sectors in these countries are still significantly unmechanized and inefficient in comparison to those found in more developed markets. Moreover, robust economic growth in both countries is resulting in ever increasing per capita consumption of all kinds of food products. As a result, these countries’ governments are focusing on policies that aid their respective farm sectors and improve crop yields in order to ensure national food security.

 Developing nations to post healthiest gains
 Besides China and India, other large developing nations with sizable agricultural sectors, such as Brazil, Indonesia, Russia and Thailand, will also register healthy gains as a result of increasing mechanization that will be bolstered by rising farmer incomes. Moreover, further urbanization in developing countries will necessitate the replacement of human capital with fixed capital.
 
 The US will experience gains that lag the world average due to decelerating growth in economic and agricultural sector output in the country. Western Europe will post weak growth due to similar reasons as well as weak population growth. Moreover, the European Union’s next budget (the current one runs from 2007 to 2013) will almost certainly result in less funding for the common agricultural policy (CAP). Farmers in both the US and Western Europe will be adversely impacted by continuing trends in favor of free trade and against protectionist measures such as subsidies for domestic farmers and tariffs on agricultural product imports. Brazil and Russia stand to benefit the most from increasing export opportunities for farm products.
 
 Modern technology to aid gains in developed nations
 Throughout the industrialized world, demand will largely be replacement oriented in nature, as the farming sectors of most countries are not growing in terms of number of farms, acreage harvested and similar physical variables. Demand will also be aided by the development and growing use of higher value “precision agriculture” products that make extensive use of modern technologies such as global positioning systems (GPS) and wireless sensors. Given the widespread diversity and often interrelation of applications, growth prospects for specific types of farm machinery — tractors, combines, planting and fertilizing, plowing and cultivating, and haying machinery, etc. — do not vary substantially.
 
 China now largest global supplier, surpassing the US
 Hundreds of companies manufacture agricultural equipment throughout the world, with the large multinational producers headquartered almost exclusively in the developed regions. In 2009, China overtook the US as the largest global supplier, with shipments of $17 billion. The US industry declined in 2009 due to the country’s recession. A majority of Chinese production continues to take place under numerous state-controlled entities and is of lower quality than found in developed nations, although foreign manufacturers are becoming increasingly important in the country’s farm machinery industry, often through joint ventures.
