ADDITIONAL FEATURES IN ADVANCED TRACTORS
Center hinge for minimum turning radius
Front PTO and 3-point linkage for front mounted implements and hydraulic system for
operating the machinery
Item Indian tractors Advanced tractors
Nos. of pto 1 Upto 3(front, centre and back)
No. of 3 point linkage systems
1 Upto 2(front and back)
Turning radius More Less due to centre hinge
Seat position Facing front Seat reversible and tractor can work efficiently in both directions
Hydraulic system
Can not operate attached implements
Can operate attached machineries
Tyre sizes Bigger sizes for rear tyre
Equal sizes for both tyres
Driving wheels Two wheel drive Four wheel drive
ADDITIONAL FEATURES IN ADVANCED TRACTORS
ADVANCED TRACTORS SHOULD BE IMPORTED DUE TO
1. COMPACTNESS2. CAN PERFORM MORE THAN ONE
OPERATION AT A TIME3. LESSER TURNING RADIUS4. ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
Central Farm Machinery Training and Testing Institute, Budni, M.P
is official Institute for testing of tractors, powertillers, combine harvesters and other farm machineries, for the quality control on the
basis ofIndian and International Standards (OECD).
CFMTTI, Budni is participating member of the OECD (Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development) for carrying out the official test on agricultural tractors in accordance
with OECD standard test codes.
Twenty-nine countries adhere to the tractor OECD test codes (including non-OECD members: China, India , the Russian Federation, and Serbia),
With active tractor test stations in approximately 25 of those countries.
The OECD codes require that tractors be tested in the country of manufacture. Reciprocity agreements with the codes require that once an OECD test report is officially approved, it must be accepted by all participating countries.
OECD Tractor Codes allow participating countries to perform tractor tests according to harmonised procedures, and to obtain OECD official approvals which facilitate international trade.
The codes cover the testing of:Tractor performance
• engine power & drawbar power output and fuel consumption; • hydraulic power output & hydraulic lift capacity.
In addition, • braking performance, turning area and turning circle;• centre of gravity location• external noise level• axle power• performance in a hot atmosphere & low temperature starting
Noise levels & Operator safety
It is suggested that we may import the advanced and compact tractors with minimum turning radius
without getting these tested at CFMTTI, Budni if these are
tested as per OECD Tractor Codes at country of export
from European Union, USA, Canada, Japan, Australia.
The tentative price of tractor is Rs. 10 – 15 lakhs
