Agricultural development depends largely on technological innovation and its successful transfer. Both are influenced by factor prices, factor scarcity, and incentives. Modernized agriculture can contribute substantially to economic growth; the question is what forms of capital investment are most appropriate.
Tractors and field machinery are tools of agricultural production. These equipment increase the productivity of the producer, improve the quality of product and reduce the hazards of operations.
Currently, Industry is trending with integration of Light-weight materials, fuel sipping engines, hybridization, advanced energy storage capabilities and the use of global positioning systems and telematics developed to make the most of expensive equipment are increasingly found in compact tractors that help equipment owners reduce fuel use to control costs but also conserve energy resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and, more importantly, improve air quality for everyone.
The widespread electrification of farm tractors and machinery would have little impact on agriculture’s global carbon emissions. The level of emissions from farming machinery is tiny by comparison, so trying to reduce the emissions produced by agricultural machinery will be helpful, as they won’t have a significant impact on total emissions from the sector.
The larger manufacturers offer two or more lines of subcompact and compact tractors with several models in each line. With small frame and large frame tractors within each model line with two or three horsepower sizes within each frame size. The result can be a bewildering array of models from which to choose. Some will be tempted to select the least expensive tractor; on the other hand, some people may be tempted to buy the biggest, most powerful tractor. For most customers, they need to decide what specifications and features you really need based on the way you intend to use the tractor.
Researchers are now looking towards the realization of autonomous agricultural vehicles. The first stage of development, automatic vehicle guidance, the robotics industry has developed a wide range of remarkable robots. In the near future, farmers will be using affordable, dependable autonomous vehicles in compact segments.
