ABSTRACT
The most mechanized agricultural operations include a tractor as a primary power unit,
even though the tractor itself is not particularly useful without an implement attached.
Innovations and efficiency improvements in tractor engines, powertrains, and auxiliary
power systems have been ongoing since tractors were invented a century ago and
Keywords significant gains have been realized. However, PTO and hydraulic power systems are well

10 January 2019 agricultural machinery, is a key enabler for advanced controls that take advantage of
torque and speed control capabilities of these electric systems. Electric powertrain
promises the higher fuel efficiency and better torque-speed control over the mechanical
and hydraulic one. Hence, it is inescapable to switch over to electric powertrain so as to
meet the forthcoming requirements of sustainable precision agriculture and to reduce the
global emission.
