Multi-Criteria Decision Making Based in Choosing an Appropriate Tractor
Journal Title: Journal of Agricultural Machinery - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Agricultural mechanization goal is to maximize the utility. Establishment of subsidies systemization and Iran incorporation with World Target Organization (WTO), choosing an appropriate technology will be more important. Agricultural development is due to correct mechanization and choosing an appropriate tractor is one of mechanization implementation bases. In the paper, criteria involved in choosing an appropriate tractor were considered according to Hamedan province conditions and the best choice between 11 tractor models was selected regarding to 9 criteria which were analyzed by Technique for Order-Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). The criteria are: drawbar power, hydraulic power, power take off (PTO) power, PTO shaft, specific fuel consumption (SFC), speed range, engine standard round per minute, gearbox, and manufacturer. Between the choices, U453 was preferred and recommended as appropriate tractor.
