Replacing Farm Machinery, R Crossman
Replacing Farm Machinery, R Crossman
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
In talking of machinery replacement it seems implied that the replacement items of plant are bigger and therefore better than their predecessers. It is also implied that plant replacement is becoming more costly.
Before any decision to replace machinery, the reason for replacement should be carefully considered.
There may be alternatives to the bigger and better solution.

Getting The Best From Tractor Tyres, J Quealy
Getting The Best From Tractor Tyres, J Quealy
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The amount of pull a tractor develops depends largely on tyre efficiency and so with so many tyre size options for the one tractor model it is very easy to make the wrong decision on tyre fitment.
Tyre efficiency varies with tractor weight, soil conditions, inflation pressure and tyre size.
Hers we look at some of these factors and how changing them may affect efficiency.

How Many Acres Per Hour?, J G. Drever
How Many Acres Per Hour?, J G. Drever
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
MANY farm tractor operators don't know exactly how much land is covered in an hour by implements drawn by their tractors. This information, useful on any farm where tractors are used, is of particular value in contract work.
The capacity of the machine or implement, or in other words, its rate of working, depends on the width of the machine, how fast it travels, how efficiently it is operated and the time it works.
