Course Description
Agricultural tractor and machinery are used to operate several different
agricultural operations. Agricultural productions have been increased
since agricultural tractor and machinery have used in the sector.
Agricultural tractor and machinery factor to reduce labour requirement.
Agricultural operation can be done in short time and quality be increased
by agricultural tractor and machinery. Agricultural tractor and machinery
have been operated at the beginning of 20th
century, but in most currently
agricultural countries in meddle have been used. Several modifications
have been occurred along the history of agricultural tractor and machinery
in manes of P.T.O and hydraulic System. Electric system and satellite in
the Agricultural sector have switched on at the end of 20th
century and
beginning of 21st century. To conclude; Agricultural tractor and machinery
are used to increase product, perform operations in ideal time and
correctly.
