The ergonomics and safety of farming tractors – users’ opinion
Journal Title: Journal of Research and Applications in Agricultural Engineering (ISSN 1642-686X) - Year 2018, Vol 63, Issue 1
Abstract
In 2017 650 questionnaires were sent online to respondents in the Independent Farmers’ Opinion Poll (IFOP) system. The survey provided valuable data for analyses of the safety and ergonomics of tractors used on Polish farms. It showed farmers’ subjective preferences with a few parameters determining the overall evaluation of tractors’ quality. John Deere tractors were found to be the safest and most ergonomic and they won the first edition of the IFOP project. Users of Case IH and Claas tractors were the most unanimous in their opinions. The respondents found the number of compartments in the driver’s cabin to be moderate regardless of the age and make of the tractor.
