Selection of proper size tractor is imperative to decrease the cost of productions, and to increase the net profit of the growers. Various techniques have been developed, but these are not applicable in Pakistan's condition. Moreover, in Pakistan small range of tractor (33-56 kW) is available and farmers are supposed to select optimum size tractor among this range. A computer-aided model was developed to select proper size of tractor for multi-crop farms of Pakistan based on time constraints approach. It also enables the farmers to predict free time of tractor available for custom hiring.
