Problems in Adopting Agricultural Machinery

Oils Degradation in Agricultural Machinery

KUMBÁR VOJTĚCH, DOSTÁL PETR: Oils degradation in agricultural machinery. Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2013, LXI, No. 5, pp. 1297–1303 Evaluating of oils condition in agricultural machinery is very important. With monitoring and evaluating we can prevent technical and economic losses. In this paper there were monitored the liquid lubricants taken from m...

Agents Adopting Agriculture: Modeling the Agricultural Transition

The question “What drove foragers to farm?” has drawn answers from many different disciplines, often in the form of verbal models. Here, we take one such model, that of the ideal free distribution, and implement it as an agent-based computer simulation. Populations distribute themselves according to the marginal quality of different habitats, predicting settlement patterns and subsistence metho...

Non-tractor, agricultural machinery injuries in Ontario.

Major injuries due to agricultural machinery.

Agricultural accidents are a frequent cause of severe injury. Sixty-four patients with such injuries were seen from October 1981 through September 1984. The patients ranged in age from 2 to 73 years. The highest incidence of injury occurred during spring planting (May through June) and fall harvesting (September through October). The tractor and grain auger were the most common injuring agents....

Automatic Guidance of Agricultural Field Machinery

Systems developed to automatically guide agricultural field machinery were previously restricted to special applications because no universal sensor system could be provided. Recently this has changed due to the tremendous progress in electronics performance and performance/price ratio. Machine vision as well as satellite positioning systems promise to serve as an appropriate and universal sens...
