Tractor Operators’ Perceptions of Farm Tractor Safety Issues and Implications to Agricultural and Extension Education
Historically, the purpose of farm safety and health educational materials and programs has been to persuade, convince or educate farmers, members of their families, and hired employees to voluntarily engage in safe behavior during farm or nonfarm work activities (Murphy, 1992). Increasingly, authors have noted that traditional farm safety educational programs have been relatively ineffective (A...
متن کاملSome Practical Aids in Tractor Maintenance
It can be said that lubricants are used to reduce the friction between rubbing surfaces. This is done by separating the moving surfaces with a film of the lubricant, thereby replacing the friction of the metal to metal surfaces by the internal friction within the lubricant itself. Lubricants also act as a cooling agent to carry away heat generated by friction or conducted to the bearing surface...
متن کاملAssessment of Crawler Tractor Effects on Soil Surface Properties
Skidding operations can cause considerable and wide spread soil disturbance. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of ground skidding operations on soil compaction, moisture content, and total porosity at different levels of slope and traffic frequency. Four levels of traffic intensity (3, 8, 13, and >13 passes of a Crawler Tractor Onezhets ? 110) and three levels of slope ( ...
متن کاملDevelopment of the Safe Tractor Assessment Rating System.
We describe the development of the Safe Tractor Assessment and Rating System (STARS), a design-based tractor safety rating system that can be applied to new or used tractors to provide an objective assessment of their inherent safety features. A predictive rating system model, based on technical inspection, was used. Key principles underlying the system included the potential for design feature...
متن کاملPredicting Tractor Fuel Consumption
Reports from the Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory (NTTL) show improved fuel efficiency during the past 20 years. A 4.8% decrease in average annual specific volumetric fuel consumption for the data used in theASAE Standards was shown. Using fuel consumption and power data from the NTTL reports, new equations for fuel consumption were established that predict fuel consumption for diesel engines d...
