OBJECTIVES
1. To study the tractor vibration in context of discomfort to the operator
2. Ergonomic design of the tractor seat for operators comfort.
INTRODUCTION
In the past, human and animals were the only power sources available for almost all the agricultural works. In the modern age of agriculture, human and animal powers are replaced by mechanical power. Tractors, power tillers, and irrigation pumps are leading machineries for agricultural mechanization in the world as well as in the South East Asian region. Agricultural mechanization has changed the characteristics of labor in agriculture, has also influenced the workload. With the timeliness of operation and increased capacity has resulted the need for higher speeds, bigger and heavier machines. During the operation of these machines by human beings, the load on the operator as well as occupational hazards and diseases are found to be increased,
