Polish farmers’ perception of the safety, ergonomics and sozology of tractors
Journal Title: Journal of Research and Applications in Agricultural Engineering (ISSN 1642-686X) - Year 2019, Vol 64, Issue 1
Abstract
The second edition of the Independent Farmers' Opinion Poll (IFOP 2018) resulted in a database of 600 subjective and reliable opinions used for the analysis of the ergonomics and safety of farm tractors. The poll was conducted in all regions of Poland and resulted in Polish farmers’ opinions of several dozen parameters of tractors, which are basic machines on each farm. John Deere won the second edition of the Independent Farmers' Opinion Poll as users of these tractors considered them the most ergonomic and safest during long-term operation. Like in the first edition (650 questionnaires), the users were the most critical about the insufficient number of compartments in the tractor cab.
