Let’s Know in Detail About Tractor Systems As we know that ​farm mechanization frees millions of agricultural workers for other industries. Reduction in the labor force in the agriculture sector is the main motivation point in farm mechanization. Mechanization in agriculture has several objectives like increasing productivity, improvement in the quality of field operations, and on-time tillage operations. The ​modern tractor industry plays an important role to achieve these objectives. Evolution in tractors has come with a change in agricultural technology and land under agriculture cultivation. There are so many types in tractors, but today’s modern agricultural ​new tractors are one complex vehicle used to power all types of ​farm implements​. So, to know in detail about tractor technology we must study about various types of systems involved in that complex vehicle - ​Tractor​. ● Engine – The most important part of any vehicle is the engine. There are so many types and size engines that have been used in tractors. In our India Tractor manufactures like ​John Deere Tractor​, ​Mahindra Tractor​, ​Swaraj Tractor​, ​Sonalika Tractor​, ​Escorts Tractor ​have their own engines. Most tractors have four-stroke engines although some of them have two-stroke diesel engines. Automobile engines are generally unsuitable for the tractors. Tractor engines are specially designed for a high load factor that is near about 80-90 % brake horsepower. Tractor engines are generally designed with 1-4 cylinders, but a single-cylinder engine is generally used in ​Power Tillers nowadays. ​Swaraj 717 Tractor​, ​Eicher 242 Tractor are the examples of the Single cylinder engine tractors.

These modern tractor engines have a smaller Stroke to bore ratio, which is held in higher engine speed, more compact size, and reduction in vibrations, which makes our tractors comfortable and efficient. ● Lubrication System​ – The main objective of this lubrication system is a reduction in friction, wear, and power loss. As modern machines like tractors are designed to maintain higher loads and speeds, this lubrication technology has been made. Tractor engines are equipped with an internal pressurized system of lubrication. Lubrication in tractors takes place with special type oil called universal tractor oil. This lubricant is used for the most lubricated parts in tractors like engine, transmission, hydraulic system, brake system. This oil is varying in quality and specifications according to tractor manufacturers.
