The mechanics of tractor-implement performance: theory and worked examples: a textbook for students and engineers

Macmillan, R. H. (R. H. Macmillan, 2002)

This book, for engineers and engineering students, is about the functional performance of agricultural tractors - how, and how well, they perform the function for which they are designed - pulling loads. It is not about construction, operation or management but about performance and the factors that determine it. Because it treats the tractor in terms of the fundamentals of the subject, it is not limited to any type or size or make. This book is written for professional agricultural engineering courses or equivalent subjects for mechanical engineers. It could also form the basis for short courses for practicing engineers. It assumes a 2nd year level of engineering science. The book develops the subject of tractor performance through the common alternative techniques used in engineering analysis:
