Full Description
This second edition has been comprehensively updated to provide the most current information on the functioning of the various subassemblies that make up a tractor. In addition, it includes detailed descriptions of the various agricultural and non-agricultural operations that can be performed using a tractor. This edition also includes updates on the latest implements, equipment, and machinery developed in India for different agricultural operations, such as land preparation, sowing/planting, weeding, plant protection, harvest threshing, post-harvest, and agro-processing. Furthermore, the book provides information on specialized tools and equipment used in horticulture, water lifting devices, and the calibration of seed drills.
The first edition of this book was widely used as a standard reference for graduate students in agricultural engineering and regular engineering colleges, and the second edition is expected to serve the same purpose. This edition will be a valuable resource for teaching staff in educational institutions and testing centers, extension workers, scientists, and farmers who require a ready reference on tractors and their various applications.
