The John Deere Crawler Loader combines a tracked chassis with state-of-the-art hydrostatic transmission and electro-hydraulic systems to be the gold standard in tracker loader equipment. This combination of features, spearheaded by John Deere’s unparalleled engineering and history, makes the JD Crawler capable of nearly every heavy construction task but the master of very few. Its primary uses are for uploading materials into trucks, clearing rubble or snow, and digging shallow depths. Wide bucket space and powerful hydraulic capacity can turn many lengthy jobs into quick ones.…
For most people, getting woke up at 2:30 a.m., learning to drive tractor at the age of nine, or getting to watch a baby calf take its first breath are unusual experiences. However, these things are normal and even become a way of life when you live on a beef cattle farm. Plans get cancelled, church clothes get dirty, and becoming best friends with a cow sums up the life on a farm.…
Massey’s farm machinery line consists of tractors, several harvesters and other agricultural equipment. The industrial machinery line consists mostly of several industrial tractors. Diesel engines were produced in Coventry, England by the Perkins Engines group. Perkins engines were used in Massey-Ferguson’s equipment. Massey had run third in the worldwide sales of farm equipment in the large North American farm equipment market. Massey-Ferguson was well-known for not only be in markets inside North-America and Western Europe, but also dealing with governments and public institutions in less-developed countries.…
The New Holland Tractor was present in India in the form of JV with Escorts Ltd, since 1969.

The case depicts the dilemma of a decision-maker Mr Trivedi who has to select an appropriate segment for marketing the 10 horsepower (HP) Vanraj Mini tractor in the states of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. The four segments identified for Vanraj tractors: small and marginal farmers, large farmers, industries, and horticulture farmers. Vanraj was economical and could perform almost all the functions of a big tractor at lower costs serving multiple purposes and uses. It provided added and immense advantage over the existing Chinese made mini-tractors and bullocks used by small farmers and the existing market players catered to the larger farmer segment considered lucrative and substantive in nature with a higher level of mechanization. India has emerged as the world’s largest market for tractors and the small and marginal farmers are dominant in terms of numbers but no player currently serving this segment. Mr Trivedi found a huge market potential in the small and large farmer segment as they had a latent demand and believed that this segment was the most appropriate target market for Vanraj but the other board members advised him to consider and study the feasibility and profitability from the other identified segments before deciding to freeze a particular target segment.…

A tractor is an engineering vehicle specifically designed to deliver a high tractive effort (or torque) at slow speeds, for the purposes of hauling a trailer or machinery used in agriculture or construction. Most commonly, the term is used to describe a farm vehicle that provides the power and traction to mechanize agricultural tasks, especially (and originally) tillage, but nowadays a great variety of tasks. Agricultural implements may be towed behind or mounted on the tractor, and the tractor may also provide a source of power if the implement is mechanised.…
Gyanendra Singh Director, Central Institute of Agricultural Engineering, Bhopal ABSTRACT Farm mechanization helps in effective utilization of inputs to increase the productivity of land and labour. Besides it helps in reducing the drudgery in farm operations. The early agricultural mechanization in India was greatly influenced by the technological development in England. Irrigation pumps, tillage equipment, chaff cutters, tractors and threshers were gradually introduced for farm mechanization. The high yielding varieties with assured irrigation and higher rate of application of fertilizers gave higher returns that enabled farmers to adopt mechanization inputs, especially after Green revolution in 1960s. The development of power thresher in 1960, with integrated Bhusa making attachment and aspirator blower and mechanical sieves for grain and straw separation, was the major achievement of Indian engineers. These threshers were widely adopted by the farmers. Gradually demand for other farm machinery such as reapers and combine harvesters also increased. Equipment for tillage, sowing, irrigation, plant protection and threshing have been widely accepted by the farmers. Even farmers with small holdings utilize many improved farm equipment through custom hiring to ensure timeliness of farming operations. The present trend in agricultural mechanization is for high capacity machines through custom hiring and for contractual field operations. However, mechanization of horticulture, plantation crops and commercial agriculture is yet to be introduced in the country. The pace of farm mechanization in the country accelerated with the manufacture of agricultural equipment by the local industries. With the modest beginning of manufacture of tractors in 1960s with foreign collaboration, to-day the Indian farm machinery industries meet the bulk of…
The post Civil War era demonstrate radically positive effects for western farmers. Numerous advancements occurred in agricultural technology, transportation and developments of better quality planting. An advanced plow with a chilled (process of surface-hardening a metal by instant cooling) steel moldboard was created in 1868 by James Oliver. Sometime later, it became possible for two…
