The book covers numerical aspects of Farm Power and Farm Machinery as a whole which will be beneficial to the students of B.E./B.Tech. (Agricultural Engineering), M.E./M.Tech. (Farm Machinery and Power Engineering). This will be also helpful to the under graduate students of agriculture and horticulture with polytechnic courses of agricultural engineering, agriculture and horticulture subjects running in the different SAU’S. In this book numerous solved examples of all the major sub-topics of Farm Power & Machinery Engineering subject are given in two main sections (i) Farm Machinery and (ii) Farm Power. Farm machinery is divided into sub-section like useful formulas and equations related to farm machinery, tillage implements, sowing and planting implements, plant protection implements, harvesting and threshing machineries, other farm machineries etc. and Farm power section is also divided into sub-sections like useful formulas and equations related to farm power, engine power, transmission system, engine components, tractors, other sources of power etc.

The latest, extensively updated edition of Farm Power and Machinery Management continues the tradition of providing students, farmers, farm operators, and farm managers with comprehensive information on how to properly manage and optimize the use of mechanized equipment to reduce costs and maximize profits. This full-featured text analyzes the factors that comprise machinery management, explains the functions of the various machines and mechanisms as they affect economic operation, and offers contemporary approaches and procedures for making management decisions. The authoritative coverage of current management principles and the machinery-operating details make this text an outstanding choice for courses in agricultural education, agricultural mechanization, agricultural business, and agricultural engineering. An understanding of agricultural practices, college algebra, and trigonometry are adequate preparation for using this text. Abundant figures, photographs, and charts, along with problems and laboratory exercises, reinforce the applicability of significant concepts, thereby empowering readers to become successful farm machinery managers and operators.
