A large number of studies have been conducted and researchers have suggested several criteria for evaluating
discomfort and the suitability of a tractor seat in a given working condition. The studies have led to various parameters,
viz. the body pressure distributed under and supporting both the buttocks, thighs and the back of an operator, control of
posture in static or dynamic condition, ride vibration, exposure time on task and other factors. But in the absence of
a more de"nitive and the most logical criteria particularly from biomechanical viewpoint, the researchers will continue to
design conditions and procedures to understand the seat dynamics and evaluate the seating discomfort. Therefore, this
paper reviews the research information available in this regard and attempts to set the most appropriate procedure for
assessment of seating discomfort during tractor driving
