The document discusses the components and functions of a tractor. It describes how a tractor develops traction through its rear wheels to pull loads and implements. The main components of a tractor include an engine, power transmission system, hydraulic system, and other components like steering, brakes, and a three point linkage. The instrument panel or dashboard usually displays gauges and controls for the tractor's operation, including a tachometer, hour meter, fuel gauge, temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, and ampere meter.

Title:
Introduction of Tractor
Objective:
•To Study different components of a Tractor
Apparatus:
Tractor (MF-240)

2. Theory
Tractor:
• Tractor is a machine, which develops traction for
the purpose of pulling loads/implements.
• Traction is developed under the rear wheels of
tractor when powered by an engine.
• Tractor is a versatile machine having multi uses in
agriculture both for land reclamation and for
carrying out various operations involved in the
production of agricultural crops.

3. Main Components of tractor
A tractor is an automobile, which has;
• An engine
• Power transmission system (clutch, gear box,
differential and final drives)
• Hydraulic system along with some
miscellaneous components such as steering,
brakes, alternator, three point linkage, etc.

4. Instrument panel/Dashboard
A dashboard / instrument panel (IP) is a control panel usually
located directly ahead of a vehicle's driver, displaying
instrumentation and controls for the vehicle's operation.
Usually instrument panel is equipped with following
instruments;
• Tachometer
• Hour Meter
• Fuel gauge
• Temperature gauge
• Oil Pressure gauge
• Ampere Meter, etc.
