Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This paper reviews the types of tractor in use in West Germany and discusses the sales of new tractors over the last few years. It is shown that the interest in all-wheel drive tractors is steadily increasing owing to their higher power rating and improved tractive ability. The paper also comments on tractor equipment and design in relation to the proposed E.E.C. regulations for safety and performance, and concludes by summarizing some of the problems of tractor development.
