Abstract/Description: | India is the largest manufacturer of tractors in the world. They are used for primary and secondary tillage operations and as a means of transportation. Vibration in tractor driving can cause deafness and disorders of the spinal column and stomach. The effect of implements on tractor ride is not well understood in India. The present study was undertaken to quantify ride vibration of a low horsepower tractor-implement system. Tractor ride vibration levels have been measured at the person–seat interface along three mutually perpendicular axes, longitudinal, lateral and vertical, under different operating conditions. It was observed that the acceleration levels increased as forward speed of travel increased under most of the operating conditions. There was no conclusive difference in measured acceleration levels on a tar-macadam road and a farm road during transport mode. The measured ride vibration levels under different operating conditions were evaluated as per ISO 2631/1 (1985), Geneva, and BS 6841 (1987), London, standards. On the basis of this study, it is concluded that the exposure time for the tractor operator should not exceed 2.5 h during ploughing and harrowing operations. Increasing exposure time may cause severe discomfort, pain and injury. |
