There is wide use of tractors in the agricultural sector of the economy. Keep in mind, however, that these tractors are not exclusively used for farming purposes. With a few extra fittings, some tractors can be used for large scale gardening in places like Georgia universities and public parks.

2 . Tractors Overview

There is wide use of tractors in the agricultural sector of the economy. Keep in mind, however, that these tractors are not exclusively used for farming purposes. With a few extra fittings, some tractors can be used for large scale gardening in places like universities and public parks around Georgia. What does a tractor do? It is used for pulling and pushing agricultural machinery or trailers, as well as for ploughing, tilling, disking, harrowing, planting, and other like type of activities. Usually, the modern models have five foot pedals on the floor of the tractor. The clutch pedal is on the left. Two pedals make up the brakes on the right. The left pedal stops the left rear wheel, while the right one does the same on the right side. A split brake pedal is used where the soil is soft and mushy. In this way, a tire that spins around due to loss of traction is kept under control. Both pedals are pressed when the driver brings the vehicle to a complete halt. Some tractors around Georgia have additional front-wheel drive. Four wheel locking differential is engaged to stop the tractor when driving over roads. A fifth pedal just in front of the seat prevents wheel-slip. It operates the rear differential lock. The differential makes it possible for the outer wheel to move faster than the inside one while taking a bend. The driver must be careful to unlock the differential by hitting the pedal a second time before taking the turn, because the vehicle cannot do so with the differentials locked. The pedal to the far right is the foot throttle. A hand lever, known as the hand-throttle, can also operate it. This helps maintain uniform constant speed while work is going on in the field. It also provides uninterrupted power for stationary tractors that are operating an implement by the shaft or belt. Thus, the foot throttle gives the driver more control over the speed of the tractor. Tractors engaged in row-crop work have a de-accelerator pedal. The pedal is pushed down to slow the engine.

3 . The Power Factor

Farm tractors around Georgia are run by diesel engines, the power ranging from 18 to 575 horse-power. Lawn tractors are less tough than garden tractors. Ten to 25 horsepower is used for smaller tasks like mowing grass patches and landscaping in Georgia. Most tractors can transfer power to other machines like the baler, slasher, or mower. Previously, belts were wrapped around pulleys to power stationary equipment. Today, tractors make use of the power take-off shaft (PTO) to give rotary powers to the machinery that is standing and needs to be pulled. Modern tractors provide external hydraulic fluid and electrical power. Many farm tractors also use manual power transmission. Several sets of gears are divided according to speed ratio. In order to change the ratio, the tractor has to be stopped. It is not necessary to change the gear to reverse. One only has to choose a lever. Power shifting technique was introduced from the sixties allowing for more modern continuously variable transmission. This allows greater control to the driver of the tractor.

4 . Speed

The type of work a tractor does requires slow speed that can be easily controlled. This is essential for the farmer in field work. But when the tractor rumbles along roads, this factor of slow speed causes problems. Traffic jams and snarls are the outcome, leading to frayed tempers. To counter this, some countries like the Netherlands, put up warning signs on the road that no tractors are allowed. This in turn creates problems. Technology is trying to wiggle out of this impasse by inventing tractors with speed rates that will be acceptable on the road without endangering or aggravating other passing vehicles.
